Trump 2.0 — The First 100 Days and What is Next (Jul 2025)
The first 100 days of Trump 2.0 have been tumultuous — a record number of executive orders, the removal of career regulatory leaders, suspension of regulations and public announcements that some laws will not be enforced as aggressively (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, for example), orders imposing tariffs, major legislation moving through Congress, DOGE and more than a dozen federal lawsuits. What does it all mean for corporate legal departments and corporate compliance officers?

Multijurisdictional Practice, Part 2: Ethical Landmines to Avoid (Jul 2025)
None of what we do is confined to one state. All of us have transactions, negotiations, and even litigation that either occur outside of Texas or that involve the laws of other states. And we often travel to other states to do business or are engaged in interstate phone calls and teleconferences. But that’s okay, right? And if we’re licensed to practice in one state, we can essentially do that kind of practice anywhere, right? Wait, are you sure that the answers to these questions are as clear cut as they seem? This fast-paced, multi-media presentation challenges your thinking, raises issues to ponder, and gives you something to smile about.
