Smith Kane Partner Payal Salsburg Speaks at MCLE Program on Securing Injunctive Relief
Smith Kane, LLP announces that Partner Payal Salsburg served as faculty for Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education’s (MCLE) program, “When and How to Get an Injunction at the Beginning of a Case,” on October 8, 2026. The two-hour live webcast provided practical guidance for attorneys seeking temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions at the outset of litigation.
The program examined the types of cases best suited for preliminary injunctive relief, as well as the legal and procedural requirements in Massachusetts state and federal courts. Through real-world examples, panelists addressed strategies for drafting effective motions, affidavits and supporting memoranda; presenting persuasive arguments in court; and navigating bonding requirements, appellate rights, opposition tactics and other strategic considerations.
Salsburg is a member of Smith Kane’s management team. As a business and litigation attorney, she focuses her practice in the areas of business litigation, corporate advice and counsel, and white-collar criminal defense. She represents corporations, small businesses, and individuals in contract and business disputes, False Claims Act matters, State Ethics Commission inquiries, and government and internal investigations. Salsburg also advises closely held businesses on corporate and employment matters. Prior to joining Smith Kane, she was a litigator at a large international law firm, in its Florida and Boston offices. She is a sought-after speaker on many topics, including business litigation, ethics, and lawyer well-being. Salsburg is recognized for her deep commitment to volunteerism in the community. Her pro bono experience includes several successful CORI-sealing petitions, petitions for asylum, an appeal from an inmate on Florida’s death row, litigation and appeal to assist a not-for-profit foundation, and invoking Hague Convention protection to return a child wrongfully removed to the United States by a parent. She was also a bar advocate for criminal matters at the district court level. On November 5, Salsburg will receive the Boston Bar Association’s (BBA) 2026 Voice of Change Award, which recognizes a luminary leader in the legal community who has forged a new path and played an extensive role in advancing diversity.
