Beyond civil-rights and consumer-protection statutes, many NE jurisdictions have fee-shifting provisions in landlord-tenant, mechanics' lien, insurance bad-faith, and construction-defect contexts. Pleading the fee-shifting statute in the complaint is typically required to preserve the right to recover.
A fee-shifting case has fundamentally different settlement dynamics than a non-fee case, especially in low-damages disputes where fees can dwarf the underlying claim.
Most conflict-of-interest systems index by named party only. They miss conflicts created when the named party is a wholly-owned subsidiary, a shared parent's affiliate, or a private-equity portfolio company under common control. The model rules treat these as conflicts even though no name match exists.
A conflict that surfaces mid-matter typically requires withdrawal at the worst possible moment, plus a fee writedown for work done. Catching it at intake is a 10-minute process; catching it at month six is a six-figure problem.
Arbitration clauses are most often struck down for procedural unconscionability — surprise placement, font that hides them, or no opportunity to negotiate — rather than substantive issues. A clause that is conspicuous, separately initialed, and accompanies a clear written notice of waiver of jury trial survives review in most jurisdictions.
A void arbitration clause means the dispute lands in court, often with discovery and jury exposure that the clause was meant to prevent. Drafting discipline at contract formation is cheap; defending the clause years later is not.
