Girardi Gained Their Trust, But Left Them With Regret By By
Brandon Lowrey & Ryan Boysen Law360 (January 19, 2021, 4:28 PM EST) In an airy conference room overlooking downtown San Francisco, celebrity trial lawyer Thomas V. Girardi looked into Kathy Ruigomez s sleepless eyes and told her everything was going to be all right.
Nobody had said that to Ruigomez in the month since a natural gas pipeline explosion incinerated her home and left her 19-year-old son, Joe Ruigomez, burned and comatose. The September 2010 blast killed eight people, including Joe s girlfriend, sending flames high into the sky above their San Bruno, California, neighborhood.
Biden s Win Means Big Business For BigLaw By
Aebra Coe Law360 (November 7, 2020, 4:44 PM EST) BigLaw is likely to see a boom in business under Joe Biden s presidency, with attorneys and law firm leaders anticipating a bevy of new federal regulation and enforcement actions that will have clients calling for advice.
With the race called for Biden based on
apparent wins in Pennsylvania and Nevada on Saturday, the legal industry can anticipate a shift in new work. After extensive deregulation under the Trump administration, President-elect Biden is expected to reverse course and move toward a more tightly regulated business environment, particularly in areas like the environment and consumer protection, and will also be more likely to beef up enforcement of existing laws.
Use Of Pandemic Force Majeure Clause Spiked In 2020 Leases
Thank You! Law360 (December 10, 2020, 5:11 PM EST) A third of U.S. commercial leases negotiated since March include mention of pandemic as a force majeure event more than double what that mark had been for leases inked in 2019, according to Practical Guidance, although experts say landlords may be getting leverage elsewhere.
The data from Practical Guidance shows that while just 16% of leases in 2019 included mention of pandemic as a force majeure event, such language appears in one-third of leases signed since March.
The insights are a snapshot from Practical Guidance s
ongoing survey of commercial leases, currently collecting data on non-publicly filed commercial leases for office, retail and industrial properties.
