    How SCOTUS is Shaping How We Do Business

    The Supreme Court made monumental moves last term, discarding the Chevron doctrine, and scrambling how regulation of the environment, public health, and consumer protection has worked for 40 years. And it granted the president of the United States vast immunity from criminal prosecution, raising alarm over how that expanded power might take shape. As the United States emerges from election season, the Supreme Court faces potential challenges on many fronts. Will proposed reforms finally ...

    The Legal Battles Taking Shape in the Clash Over Internet Content

    A federal law known as Section 230 has provided a powerful legal shield for internet companies for nearly three decades. Designed to “promote the internet,” it protects platforms from civil liability for content posted to their sites by third parties. But the measure is inspiring lawsuits from plaintiffs who say it allows internet companies to escape accountability for harmful content. With the Supreme Court once again refusing to rule on the section’s validity this term, and Congr...

    How the Regulatory State May Change in the Aftermath of the SCOTUS Chevron Ruling

    The Supreme Court has discarded the Chevron doctrine. In a decision overturning a four-decades-long precedent, the high court now says courts will no longer so easily defer to federal agency interpretations of the statutes they implement. The demise of so-called “Chevron deference” could upend the regulation of nearly all aspects of American commerce, opening the floodgates for litigation, with existing laws and future rulemaking up for grabs. And it will task agencies, corporations, environm...

    Buyer Beware: What to Know About the DOJ’s Policy on Self-Reporting in M&A

    What happens when you buy somebody else’s problems? A new policy from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is encouraging companies to disclose the misconduct of the companies they buy. The DOJ says it won’t prosecute businesses that voluntarily report wrongdoing found during the mergers and acquisitions process. The government especially wants to detect misconduct that threatens national security or involves cybersecurity or foreign corruption. But detractors say the new rule could give...

    Is Your Company Ready For the SEC’s New Climate Disclosure Rules? We Break Them Down.

    The SEC had planned to usher in a new era of corporate disclosure but now it may be on hold. Its new rules would require public companies to report extensive climate-related information. They are intended to improve the consistency, comparability, and reliability of climate-related data and to provide detailed, decision-useful information for investors seeking company information before they invest.But already some states and business groups are mounting legal challenges, arguing the rules ex...

    Enforcement is on the Rise Against Non-Compete Agreements. Is Your Business Ready?

    A whopping one in five workers in the U.S. has signed a non-compete agreement. Companies use these contracts to protect trade secrets, reduce employee turnover, and improve their business leverage. Detractors say non-competes decrease wages and are burdensome to workers. Private litigation is on the rise against non-competes and some states are now passing limits on their use. At the federal level, non-competes and other employment restrictions have drawn the attention of antitrust enfor...

    Is Your M&A Contract Vulnerable to Post-Closing Litigation? We Break it Down.

    When an M&A deal closes, is it done? Not always. More and more disputes are arising after closing, which results in lost time and expense for both buyers and sellers as they realize they don’t actually have a done deal. Not all disputes after closing can be avoided, but their effects can be minimized with the right due diligence, transparency in the process, and knowing the mechanisms for resolving them efficiently.

    How the Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action Ruling May Impact Your Business

    The U.S. Supreme Court has declared that university admissions policies must be “color blind” under the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution, breaking with decades of legal precedent and resulting in challenges to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at universities and elsewhere. Many employers worry their own DEI policies and programs may be at risk, with businesses experiencing some high-profile lawsuits and challenges to corporate diversity initiatives. Join The Sidley...
