Last week, the firm's Naples team hosted a Probate & Trust Litigation Seminar titled "Love and Marriage: Happily Ever After?" During the seminar, our speakers presented a high-level overview of estate planning concerns that can lead to marital and family discord. They covered a wide range of topics, including testamentary capacity, divorce and guardianship, elder exploitation and how to avoid probate issues in estate planning.

International Trade Partner | Guides Global Companies on Securing Market Access, Improving Returns and Supply Chain ESG Laws
With national import bans becoming a common approach to forced labor and general issues involved now well publicized, it would probably help companies if the next chapter of scholarship goes deeper into compliance details learned from the past almost ten years of this new supply chain period around how authorities are setting their market access requirements - like around traceability evidence courts will accept, how to contract adequately for worker voice evidence and how to appropriately calculate and distribute recruitment fee repayments. This might be a helpful focus for philanthropic funding and law schools. Thank you for materials this week from Emma Shafton, Meredith Anastasio, J.D. MSEL and Natalie Runyon.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is expanding its enforcement to include financial institutions, requiring them to prevent financing of transactions involving prohibited items, such as technology or services.
