On March 26, 2026, AABANY’s Solo & Small Firm Committee and Tax Committee co-sponsored the webinar “Navigating the New OBBBA Landscape.” This presentation arrived at a critical time as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law on July 4, 2025, with some provisions taking retroactive effect going back to January 1, 2025.
Parag P. Patel, Co-Chair of the Tax Committee, led the session by providing a comprehensive update on how solo and small law firms can optimize their financial affairs. He emphasized that the new law offers various ways for small business owners to minimize their liabilities if they understand the specific requirements and limitations of the Act.
Several major changes affect individual taxpayers under the OBBBA through the year 2028. The State and Local Tax deduction cap has been significantly increased to $40,000, which offers substantial relief to those living in high-tax jurisdictions. Seniors who are at least 65 years old are now eligible for a $6,000 deduction, provided their income falls within the established limits. The Act also introduces new deductions for reported tips and overtime pay to assist service and hourly workers. Furthermore, individuals may now deduct interest on car loans up to $10,000 annually for vehicles that were assembled in the United States.
The legislation provides permanent benefits designed to stimulate business growth and investment for law firms and other small enterprises. Bonus depreciation is now permanently set at 100% for qualified property acquired after early 2025. The Section 179 expensing limit has risen to $2,500,000, and the phaseout threshold has been adjusted to $4,000,000 to account for inflation. Businesses may once again deduct domestic research and development expenses permanently, and some small businesses can even apply this change retroactively to 2022. Additionally, the calculation for business interest expense limits has been restored to align with EBITDA standards.
While these updates offer many advantages, taxpayers must be aware of the income-based phase-outs that could limit their total deductions. Many of the individual tax benefits are scheduled to revert to previous levels by 2030, making long-term planning essential for legal professionals.
AABANY continues to support its members by translating complex legislative shifts into actionable strategies for the legal community. This webinar successfully provided attendees with the tools needed to navigate the new tax reality with confidence.

Justice Karen Lin, a longtime member of AABANY and former Co-Chair of the Pro Bono and Community Service Committee (PBCS), has been appointed to the Appellate Term for the Second Department of the New York State Supreme Court. This appointment marks a historic milestone as Justice Lin is the first Asian American woman to serve in this role. As a lifelong public servant and sitting Second Department Justice, she brings decades of experience and a deep commitment to justice to one of the most impactful appellate tribunals for everyday New Yorkers.
Breaking Barriers: The Significance of “the First” Justice Lin’s appointment to the Appellate Term for the Second Department carries historic significance. Yet, for Justice Lin, the meaning of this milestone is inseparable from the community that shaped her.
Born and raised in Queens by her immigrant parents, Justice Lin’s story is rooted in the borough she now serves. At a time when Asian Americans were significantly underrepresented in both civic and professional spaces within Queens County, her early experiences acutely instilled in her a heightened awareness of the importance of being seen and heard. As a child, she recalls helping interpret for her parents who spoke limited English. She also recalls attending school events where she was one of the few Asian American faces in the room. These moments made her realize the significance of representation, or the lack thereof. Coupled with her parents’ tireless work ethic and emphasis on community, these experiences profoundly shaped her sense of justice and responsibility to her community.
Despite Asian Americans comprising more than 27 percent of the population in Queens, they have historically remained underrepresented on the bench. While precise figures vary by dataset, estimates by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle suggest that fewer than 10 percent of judges in Queens County identify as Asian. This number is even lower statewide as according to the New York State Unified Court System’s 2024 Judicial Demographics Report, only about 5 percent of judges statewide identify as Asian. These figures highlight the persistent gap between the Asian American community and their representation within the judiciary.
For Justice Lin, the awareness of this disparity came into sharper focus back in 2022, when she grappled with these demographic realities during her campaign for Queens Civil Court. She recognized both the urgency and the responsibility to step forward.
Now, in 2026, as Justice Lin assumes her role on the Appellate Term, she reflects on both the progress made and the work that remains. While her appointment marks a historic milestone, Justice Lin is candid about what the broader implications of her distinction as “the first” means.
“We shouldn’t still be talking about ‘firsts’ in 2026,” she notes. “It matters to break that ceiling—but it matters even more that we are not the only ones.” Justice Lin maintains that her appointment is part of a larger trajectory which she hopes will continue to open doors for others who will follow and ultimately surpass her.
“I may be the first,” she reflects, “but I certainly do not want to be the last. And I won’t.”
Diversity and Perspective at the Appellate Term In her run for the Queens Civil Court in 2022, Justice Lin noted, “The air in the room changes depending on who is in it.” Now, as Justice Lin assumes her seat at the Appellate Term for the Second Department, she brings her philosophy into a new and vastly different judicial environment.
The nature of judging at the appellate level is necessarily collaborative. Rather than presiding over a single courtroom, justices at the Appellate Term engage in a rigorous discussion of the law. The presence or absence of diverse perspectives can play a significant role in the nature of judicial decision-making.
“The lens through which we interpret the law is shaped by our lived experiences,” Justice Lin explains. “It matters who is in that room.”
The Appellate Term occupies a uniquely consequential position within New York’s judicial system. For many New Yorkers navigating housing disputes, consumer debt matters, and low-level criminal cases arising from the Civil Court and Criminal Court, the Appellate Term often represents the primary avenue for reviewing decisions made in those courts. As such, this court plays a critical role in ensuring public confidence in the fairness and legitimacy of the judicial process and of everyday challenges faced by many families and individuals. Justice Lin approaches this responsibility with a deep awareness of the communities served by the court. As a lifelong Queens native and an experienced legal professional, Justice Lin brings a grounded perspective to the bench and seeks to ensure that the appellate review is conducted with both rigor and awareness.
A Jurist Grounded in Care From civil rights attorney to legislative counsel, from Housing Court Judge to Court Attorney-Referee in Surrogate’s Court, Justice Lin has been guided by a single constant: care.
Justice Lin’s decade as a court attorney referee in Surrogate’s Court, where she handled sensitive guardianship matters, reinforced the centrality of due process, particularly for vulnerable individuals. In those proceedings, she understood the risks of presuming incapacity based solely on diagnosis or circumstance. Instead, she stresses that every individual is entitled to a meaningful hearing where their voice is heard.
This philosophy carried directly into Justice Lin’s work on the trial bench, where she implemented practices designed to make the courtroom more accessible. For example, she required in-person appearances in certain matters involving self-represented litigants, recognizing that virtual proceedings—while efficient—can inadvertently exclude individuals who lack access to technology or familiarity with digital platforms. In-person appearances allowed her to better assess credibility, clarify the relief being sought, provide language support, offer flexible scheduling, promote accessibility for litigants with disabilities, and ensure that litigants could express themselves in their own words. Similarly, her practice of inviting court users to indicate their preferred pronouns reinforces the principle that every individual who enters the courtroom is entitled to be treated with respect.
To illustrate, Justice Lin described a family conflict case she dealt with where a father passed away, leaving his home to only two of his children and excluding the others. Justice Lin guided the family through structured discussion by helping each member articulate concerns and expectations by meeting with them individually. This ultimately fostered a mediated resolution that balanced the legal framework with the opportunity for members of the family to retain some control over their outcome. In the end, the siblings reached an agreement to divide the home equally among all of the children.
“The court cannot advocate,” she notes, “but it can ensure fairness, dignity, and that due process is fully respected.”
A Career Defined by Purpose Long before she entered the legal field, Justice Lin was already cultivating an ethos of advocacy at the University at Buffalo. As an undergraduate, she noticed that Asian American history and experiences were largely absent from the curriculum. Determined to address this gap, she petitioned the history department to introduce a course on Asian American history which had never previously been offered. Simultaneously, she co-founded the University’s Asian American student organization, the Asian American Students Association (AASA) and served as its first president where she organized cultural programming and panel discussions to highlight the contributions of Asian Americans on campus. These initiatives included guest lectures, heritage month celebrations, and workshops that engaged the broader student body in conversations about diversity and inclusion. Reflecting on these formative years of her life, Justice Lin noted, “I wanted students like me to see themselves in the stories being told and to have a community where our voices mattered.”
A couple years later, Justice Lin championed these same values through her leadership with AABANY’s Pro Bono and Community Service Committee (PBCS), where she served as Co-Chair. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when the need for legal services increased significantly, she played an instrumental role in promoting access to legal services by expanding Pro Bono Clinics to underserved communities in Queens. Building on this work, Justice Lin highlights that meaningful legal assistance requires the ability to communicate effectively, especially with individuals who struggle to find services in a language they understand. She speaks of her time with PBCS, describing it as the “best committee ever” and her service as both a “great joy and privilege.” Additionally, she praises AABANY’s Pro Bono Clinics as an invaluable resource for individuals with limited English proficiency.
Ultimately, in each stage of her professional journey, Justice Lin has consistently asked herself: “Where can I be helpful?”
Lifting the Next Generation As a mentor and active participant in programs such as the The Sonia & Celina Sotomayor Judicial Internship Program, Justice Lin is deeply committed to cultivating the leaders of tomorrow. She suggests that a successful legal career rests on a foundation of competence and character. She encourages students and young professionals to strive for mastery in their chosen field. “Be as good at it as you can be,” she advises, because when opportunities arise, “you better be ready to hit the ground running.” Competence, she notes, is central to reputation as it ensures that professionals are prepared to perform effectively in any high-stakes environment.
Justice Lin also stresses that technical skill alone is not enough. Equally important is how one treats others. “Your competence shapes your reputation,” she explains, “but so does how you treat people.” She believes in a universal standard of decency and she encourages individuals from all paths of life to treat everyone—from the janitor to the judge—the way they would want themselves or a loved one treated. She reminds us that “people may forget what you did but they will remember how you made them feel.”
Throughout her career, Justice Lin has also rejected narrow stereotypes of what a lawyer must be. Justice Lin has challenged the notion that success requires aggression. Many assumed she was “too nice” to be an effective lawyer or justice, but she believes there are many ways to practice law successfully without abandoning one’s nature. She encourages young professionals, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, to embrace their individuality. “What makes us different is really what makes us strong,” she says. Avoiding the temptation to contort oneself to fit an expected mold, she emphasizes that professional growth is most meaningful when it is shared: “It is purposeless to rise alone; we rise together.”
Through her guidance and example, Justice Lin seeks to create spaces where future generations can thrive with confidence and authenticity. Now at the Appellate Term, her role amplifies this impact as she continues to shape the culture of the judiciary itself. Please join AABANY in congratulating Justice Karen Lin on this historic milestone. We look forward to seeing more noteworthy contributions from her public service.

On March 26, 2026, the Pro Bono & Community Service Committee and the Government Service & Public Interest Committee continued their tradition of hosting a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner to recognize the volunteer attorneys, law students, AABANY staff, AALFNY board members, and community partners who make our Pro Bono Clinics possible. Together, we celebrated our shared mission of serving the public and promoting access to justice for those who cannot afford legal services.
The backbone of AABANY’s public service initiatives is its dedicated volunteers. We extend our deepest gratitude to the attorneys who generously devote their time and expertise to assisting members of the community. These Pro Bono Clinics also serve as valuable learning opportunities for law students, providing hands-on experience across various areas of law while allowing them to give back through direct service.
We also express our sincere appreciation to the Asian American Law Fund of New York (AALFNY) for its continued support, as well as to the AABANY staff, whose administrative efforts are essential to making this work possible.
The session featured insights from trademark attorneys Tracy Shen (who stepped in last minute for original speaker Spring Chang) and Lilian Qiu, Partners from Chang Tsi and Partners. Twelve attendees were given a summary on the upcoming legislative developments affecting China’s trademark office laws. As the market in China continues to grow and cater to more global business, it is important for legal professionals protecting their clients’ trademarks in this area to stay well-informed and on top of changes to the trademark filing process and rules. This webinar aimed to dissect the latest draft amendment to the trademark law, likely to be enacted this year, offering actionable insights and strategies that participants can implement in their trademark portfolio management and enforcement strategies.
Key Discussions and Highlights Both Tracy and Lilian shared their expertise in the field, walking attendees through the significant proposed changes outlined in the draft amendment. They provided a clear analysis of the policy background, explaining how these legislative shifts signal a more robust trademark regime in China and how the trademark office is attempting to fix existing difficulties by trademark holders and filers.
The speakers outlined the changes introduced in the new draft amendment, focusing on several focal points:
Changes Addressing Bad Faith Filings: One of the pivotal aspects of the discussion was centered on new provisions designed to inhibit bad faith trademark filers and malicious filings, such as by levying harsher penalties. Tracy and Lilian emphasized how these changes are set to enhance protections for genuine trademark owners, addressing long-standing dilemmas faced by businesses navigating China’s trademark system.
Efficiency Improvements: The speakers highlighted improvements brought forth by the draft amendment, showcasing how the streamlined processes would make the application and enforcement of trademarks more efficient. Such efficiencies, designed to reduce the opposition period and expanding protection for well-known trademarks, are expected to make a significant difference for foreign entities operating in China, providing clearer pathways to securing and maintaining trademark rights.
Unpacking Prior Amendments: The discussion also delved into analyzing which proposed changes from the prior draft amendment were not included in the latest version. Tracy and Lilian provided industry context that illuminated the rationale behind these omissions, guiding participants in understanding the current legislative climate.
Strategies for Portfolio Management and Risk Mitigation: Perhaps most importantly, the webinar concluded with actionable strategic advice for firms gearing up to adapt to these upcoming changes. Tracy and Lilian shared essential insights on proactive measures that businesses can take to protect their intellectual property rights in light of the new framework.
This was a specialized session for trademark attorneys who conduct trademark work in China and provided valuable insights to help navigate the upcoming changes.
We extend our gratitude to Tracy Shen and Lilian Qiu for their expert contributions to this webinar and encourage attendees to stay connected with UCIPF for future discussions on intellectual property developments.

On February 18, 2026, at the Governor’s Lunar New Year celebration in Manhattan Chinatown, Justice Lillian Wan received a Special Citation from Governor Kathy Hochul. This recognition commemorates Justice Wan’s work in serving fellow New Yorkers with distinction and upholding the highest standards of excellence in public service. Justice Wan expressed deep gratitude for receiving the Special Citation from Governor Hochul, made all the more meaningful by being honored alongside Asian American Federation (AAF) CEO Catherine Chen and Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) Co-Executive Director Vanessa Leung, two leaders whose contributions to the Asian-American community have been noteworthy and impactful.
In 2022, Governor Hochul appointed Justice Wan to the Appellate Division, Second Department, making her the first Asian American woman to sit in the Appellate Division in New York State. Despite achieving this milestone in the New York State courts, Justice Wan’s path to the bench was not one she originally envisioned for herself. As a practicing attorney, she never appeared before a judge who looked like her, so she never considered it a possibility. That changed when she began working closely with Surrogate Judge Margarita López Torres, the first Latina Surrogate Judge in New York State. Judge López Torres became her mentor and encouraged her to apply for a mayoral appointment to the family court bench, where her experience was strongest, and that the City of New York would benefit from having her as a judge. “She saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself,” Justice Wan reflected.
Since being appointed to the bench in 2012, Justice Wan has witnessed a remarkable shift in representation. When she started, Asian American judges across New York State made up under 2% of the judiciary. Today, that number has grown to about 5% of the approximately 1,300 sitting New York state judges.
Governor Hochul, who awarded Justice Wan the special recognition, has played a meaningful role in that progress. Since taking office in August 2021, the Governor has appointed nine Asian American judges, six of whom have been appointed to the New York State Court of Claims, a higher number than any Governor in the State’s history. She has also appointed three Asian American judges to the Appellate Division, the mid-level appellate court in New York State. Justice Wan was appointed to the Appellate Division, Second Department in May 2022. Justice Philip Hom was appointed in 2024. Most recently, Justice Margaret Chan was appointed to the Appellate Division, First Department. Justice Wan, Justice Hom, and Justice Chan are all members of the Asian American Bar Association of New York.
Justice Wan’s own path was shaped not only by Judge López Torres but also by the Honorable Randall T. Eng, former Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, Second Department, and now practicing attorney who holds a truly historic distinction: he was the first Asian American judge in the entire state of New York, appointed to the Criminal Court by Mayor Ed Koch in 1983. Justice Eng mentored Justice Wan early in her career and instilled in her a philosophy she carries to this day: visibility matters. Your job is essential, but you need to do more. Asian American attorneys and judges must be active in bar associations, judicial organizations, their law schools, their universities, and their communities. They should embrace leadership roles and ensure people know who they are.
Justice Wan has made it her personal mission to be for others what Judge López Torres and Justice Eng were for her. She remains accessible, attends various events to stay visible, and holds leadership positions in organizations that uplift the Asian-American legal community. As a mentor, Justice Wan sees talented attorneys routinely talking themselves out of applying for judicial positions, convinced that others are more qualified, that they haven’t been around long enough, or that it simply isn’t their turn. Her advice to students and legal professionals who want to follow her footsteps is direct: apply anyway. Often, the only difference between the person who gets the position and the person who doesn’t is that the latter didn’t second-guess themselves.
Besides individual efforts, Justice Wan points to the power of community organizations in building a stronger pipeline. The Asian American Bar Association of New York runs a robust Judiciary Committee that vets judicial candidates, provides letters of endorsement, conducts mock interviews, and hosts educational programs about the path to becoming a judge. The Asian American Judges Association of New York, of which Justice Wan is a past president and current board member, works to support judges and grow their numbers. The organization is open to everyone, not just Asian American judges, and its mission is rooted in the belief that a bench that reflects the full population it serves is stronger and more just.
The Special Citation from Governor Hochul captures both the breadth of Justice Wan’s career and the philosophy that has defined it, recognizing her historic appointment to the Appellate Division, Second Department, alongside her leadership in the organizations that uplift Asian American attorneys, women in law, and the broader legal community. It is a recognition that spans decades of work, from her earliest years on the bench to the mentorship and visibility efforts she continues today. Justice Wan has spent her career being the judge she did not see when she was a young attorney, and in doing so, has made sure that fewer people will have to wonder whether someone like them belongs on the bench.
Please join AABANY in congratulating Justice Wan on receiving this recognition from Governor Hochul.
On March 18, 2026, AABANY’s Corporate Law Committee hosted their Spring Social event at Blue Blossom near Bryant Park.

On Wednesday, March 18th, AABANY’s Student Outreach Committee and Women’s Committee organized the Careers in Media Law Panel, hosted by Perkins Coie. The panel featured a diverse group of professionals in media law: Roger Chao (Senior Counsel at A+E Global Media), Jessica Cheng (Associate at Perkins Coie), Amy Gajda (Jeffrey D. Forchelli Professor at Brooklyn Law School), and Alicia Matusheski Khaled (Senior Counsel at Perkins Coie). The event was held at Perkins Coie’s midtown Manhattan office in the SoHo conference room, where around 15-20 lawyers, students, and other registrants attended.
The panelists engaged in a riveting discussion of media law, the field’s niches, and the influence of AI on their work. Topics such as the First Amendment and privacy were brought into the conversation, specifically how these areas were being put in jeopardy and questioned by AI’s emergence. The panelists also engaged in a lighthearted, realistic discussion about the challenges of working within media law, as well as the rewards. They found the work they did to be stressful sometimes. One example included the stress in getting a contract or agreement through as a deadline looms, because not closing the deal can mean delays in production and content that was waiting to be used or seen by millions of people. But what the panelists found most rewarding was seeing the shows, games, or other media they worked on in the news and loved by fans.
The audience was incredibly engaged and interested in what was shared. Attendees asked questions generally about the field of law, but also specific questions, including discussion of AI and its impact. After the panel discussion and Q&A, the attendees and panelists networked over a spread of hors d’oeuvres featuring lime-and-garlic-grilled shrimp and truffled potato croquettes as well as strawberries dipped in chocolate for dessert. Those who attended in the hopes of gaining more insight into media law left with a deeper understanding of the field’s intricacies and the stories of the experts who worked within it.
AABANY thanks Perkins Coie for the refreshments and the beautiful space. Thank you also to our panelists, who were deeply engaged in conversation and who passionately shared stories, information, and tips about media law.
