A Policy Meme Codified Earlier this year, we commented on “housing affordability” as a new and powerful policy meme. Policy memes emerge when the complex work of defining an issue and assessing its importance happens organically as ideas evolve and coalesce, often into catchphrases that carry far more meaning in the current environment than they would if dropped nakedly into...
Recap from our July 16 webinar: “Direct Selling and Good Corporate Governance in 2026” Most corporate governance presentations follow a familiar script: recite some best practices, note how they offer legal protection for companies and boards, and adjourn. In our recent webinar on good corporate governance, we set out to do something more bespoke. We spotlighted an industry that has...
Earlier this month, we hosted a roundtable optimistically titled, “Bringing IPOs Back to Utah.” It was largely a local affair, with a mix of executives, trade association representatives, policymakers and investors. A main street crowd, but a savvy one. Dorsey, KPMG, and Zions Bank provided perspectives from the legal, finance and accounting side. We were also quite fortunate to host...
On May 19, the White House released a unique executive order outlining the Administration’s plan to promote fintech innovation. Given the complexity of existing financial regulatory frameworks, there is reason to be skeptical that this effort results in major changes in the short term. But in light of the broad directives, the banking and fintech communities should stay close to...
My colleagues published an excellent eUpdate on a number of trade developments this week.

Here is a link...
Like many, I’ve found myself experimenting with AI to see if it would enable me to take on projects that are otherwise out of reach. I’ve had success in some narrow cases, but other times I’ve ended up in a rabbit hole to nowhere. My most recent project has landed somewhere in the middle. When USTR opened two Section 301...
Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Paul Atkins has been vocal about his desire to make IPOs great again. It would take a serious amount of rulemaking and potentially even statutory changes to reshuffle the mix of incentives and burdens that have inclined companies against going public in recent years. But if he is successful, even in part, there could...
The concept of a regulatory sandbox is becoming a familiar one. When a recent White House executive order laid out a comprehensive legislative framework for artificial intelligence, it included a call for Congress to establish federal regulatory sandboxes, without any further explanation. Just a few years ago, such a request might have been met with a confused stare. Now, the...
This article was written in collaboration with Dolly Chitta Ph.D. Dolly is founder of Curie Quantum and is Science and Innovation Advisor to the Nucleus Institute.

In a relatively short article, we summarized the totality of U.S. policy relating to Quantum initiatives and support over the last several years....
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s February 20 decision striking down the authority of the United States Trade Representative to impose tariffs under IEEPA, USTR has been exploring other tariff authorities, including an immediate use of Section 122. It is now turning to its more traditional, investigative authorities, though to an unprecedented degree. On March 11, 2026 and then...
