Biography

I come from a diverse background in customer-facing industries, which has shaped my approach to legal representation. I prioritize clear communication and strong working relationships with all my clients. I recognize that legal issues are often deeply personal, and I am committed to providing not only skilled advocacy but also practical solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of each client.

Being an immigrant three times over, I have firsthand insight into the challenges individuals face when navigating new legal and business landscapes. Raised in a community of entrepreneurs, I gained a deep understanding of the complexities involved in running a business. This background makes me a trusted advisor to business owners seeking legal guidance. My practice areas include business law, divorce and family law, real estate transactions, and general counsel services, focusing on strategic planning and protecting my clients’ financial and personal interests.

Real estate is a critical sector of the U.S. economy and often intersects with business and family law. Whether I am assisting with business formation, handling complex divorces involving significant assets, or guiding clients through real estate transactions, I offer comprehensive legal support backed by my experience and a strong professional network.

Being fluent in French, Italian, Russian, German, and Spanish, I am well-equipped to serve a diverse clientele and provide legal services with cultural sensitivity and understanding.

For skilled legal counsel in business law, divorce, real estate, trust and estates, as well as general counsel services, you can contact me, Samuil Buschkin, for a consultation.

Q. Launching a taxi-hailing platform in New York: legal considerations for capital income exchange and cash split.
A: This is a great question with a lot of moving parts. Structuring a platform like this—especially in New York—raises regulatory, tax, and contractual considerations. You’ll want to think through how revenue flows between you and the cooperatives, how profits and risks are shared, and whether the model triggers any specific licensing or compliance obligations. Definitely a conversation worth having with an attorney familiar with platform-based business models and transportation regulations in NY.
Q. Can I pay a referral fee to a non-licensed person in NJ real estate?
A: In New Jersey, a licensed real estate salesperson cannot legally pay a referral or finder’s fee to an unlicensed individual for referring real estate clients. The New Jersey Real Estate Commission strictly prohibits compensating individuals who are not licensed under the New Jersey Real Estate Licensing Act (N.J.S.A. 45:15-1 et seq.) for activities that require a real estate license, and client referrals fall within those activities.

Offering compensation to an unlicensed person for bringing in a client, even if it’s framed as a “finder’s fee” or structured as a percentage of the transaction value, is considered the unauthorized practice of real estate. Violating this law could lead to disciplinary action by the Commission, including fines, suspension, or revocation of the salesperson’s license.

The only individuals who may legally receive compensation for referring clients in real estate transactions are those who hold a valid real estate license in New Jersey. This includes brokers, salespersons, and referral agents. If a person is interested in earning money from real estate referrals, the proper course of action is to obtain a real estate referral agent license, which is more limited than a full salesperson license but permits legally receiving referral fees.

There are no exceptions to this rule for friends, business acquaintances, or individuals who happen to know someone interested in buying or selling real estate. Even if the unlicensed individual does not participate in the transaction beyond the introduction, compensation is not permitted under New Jersey law.

Therefore, as a licensed real estate salesperson in New Jersey, you cannot pay a referral or finder’s fee to an unlicensed person for client referrals. If this acquaintance wants to refer clients for compensation, they should consider becoming licensed as a referral agent through the New Jersey Real Estate Commission.

Q. What ABC license is needed for private wine classes in NJ providing wine?
A: While this response is not legal advice which would require more information from you and would be done with an attorney whom you have retained, here is a bit of guidance: In New Jersey, providing wine during private educational classes, even if not sold directly, likely requires an ABC permit. The Social Affair Permit applies to non-profits, so it may not be suitable for your for-profit classes. Since your business model is unique, consulting the NJ Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control is recommended to ensure compliance. They can clarify whether a specific license or exemption applies. You may also want legal guidance on navigating NJ’s alcohol laws. More info: njoag.gov.
