My colleagues have released an excellent update on the DOJ’s recently announced corporate enforcement and voluntary self-disclosure policy. For a long time, the Department of Justice has encouraged self-disclosure, at times suggesting companies will be treated better if they do, but no guarantees. For the first time, they’ve formalized a policy, and companies should take note and be ready to seriously...
On February 26, 2026, the Department of Labor (DOL) announced a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding worker classification. It may feel like another policy swing from administration to administration. However, this proposal is the latest development in long-running debate with consequences for the gig economy and the employer-worker relationship. It is a debate that could be existential for some businesses....
February 20, 2026 started off with arguably the most economically significant Supreme Court ruling in living memory when the Court struck down the White House’s use of IEEPA authority for tariffs representing roughly half of collected tariff revenue over the last year. The day ended with executive orders from an undeterred White House laying out a course for its continued...
“Memetics” was a theory launched by Richard Dawkins in the 1970s positing that cultural trends and ideas emerge from base components (he called memes) in much the same way that biological organisms do from genes. As the theory goes, compelling ideas survive while less effective ones drop away, with variations and combinations succeeding or failing in a survival of the...
The legal world has always played fast and loose with the concept of time. Judges of course regularly rewrite history when rendering opinions about what a law means and then applying the consequences retroactively, sometimes unwinding acts that already occurred. (Many businesses are hopeful this very thing happens when SCOTUS delivers its opinion on IEEPA and tariffs.) Another example is...
The axiom that legislators legislate and regulators regulate is typically applied to centers of government, like Washington D.C. or Brussels, where there can be a default instinct to create guardrails and restrictions whenever a new societal challenge is identified. But in a perceived accountability vacuum around artificial intelligence, states are seriously considering policies to get ahead of potential risks. California,...
Way back on January 9, I logged into a SCOTUSblog chat group to hear that excellent team live-blog the announcement and delivery of Supreme Court opinions for the day. From the comments of other visitors, I wasn’t the only one joining to see if a decision on tariffs was forthcoming. Not by a long shot. Journalists, trade professionals, executives, and...
Was it only twelve months ago? Last year, dental health featured prominently in Utah’s 2025 legislative session, with the passage of a state-wide ban on the addition of fluoride in Utah’s drinking water. This decision garnered national attention and sparked some entertaining debates. The 2026 session probably won’t bring as much attention to Utah’s dental sector. However, there are already...
During 2025, lawmakers across the 50 states opened over 1,000 AI-related bills. Congress became justifiably worried that local lawmakers would go overboard, and came very close to passing an AI regulatory moratorium that would preclude states from weighing in. Many states pushed back firmly on this. On Dec. 11, the White House took matters into its own hands with an...
I love our firm’s footprint. Dorsey & Whitney’s legal professionals sit in 22 offices across the U.S. and internationally, where they apply global talent at a local level. These offices are in financial centers like New York, London, Hong Kong and Chicago as well as in high growth cities in the Rocky Mountains, like Salt Lake City (where I sit)....
