How can legal marketers move from tactical execution to strategic leadership? In the latest episode of the LMA Podcast, Marci Taylor sits down with Alessandra Almeida Jones to discuss how legal marketing teams can align with firm strategy, use data and AI to drive smarter decisions, and ultimately secure a stronger voice at the leadership table. Tune in to learn: • How legal marketing and business development teams serve as a law firm's “growth department.” • The importance of cross-disciplinary, or “stretchy,” initiatives in maximizing impact. • Why strategy must prioritize optionality and agility as AI reshapes the business of law. • What small teams with fewer resources can do to demonstrate their strategic value. • Why it's important for even senior leaders to roll up their sleeves and tackle seemingly small tasks. • How to make curiosity your superpower as a legal marketer.

This Day in Legal History: Salmon P. Chase DiesOn May 7, 1873, Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase died, ending one of the most unusual legal and political careers in American history. Chase had been an antislavery lawyer, a U.S. senator, governor of Ohio, Abraham Lincoln's secretary of the Treasury, and then Chief Justice of the United States. He was also one of the many talented and ambitious men around Lincoln who did not begin as an admirer of him. Before Lincoln became president, Chase had encountered him as a lawyer and reportedly did not think much of him, viewing him as a rough western attorney rather than a national figure. After Lincoln defeated him for the Republican nomination in 1860, Chase had reason to believe a summons to the White House might be an occasion for Lincoln to enjoy the victory. Instead, Lincoln offered him one of the most important jobs in the government: secretary of the Treasury.It was a revealing moment in Lincoln's political genius, because he was willing to place a rival who had underestimated him in a position of enormous responsibility during the Civil War. Chase helped finance the Union war effort and became closely associated with the creation of a national banking system and the issuance of paper currency. In 1864, Lincoln elevated him again by appointing him Chief Justice of the United States.As Chief Justice, Chase presided over the 1868 impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, a major constitutional test of presidential power and congressional authority. Near the end of his life, Chase dissented in the Slaughter-House Cases, one of the first major Supreme Court interpretations of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court's majority read the Amendment's Privileges or Immunities Clause narrowly, limiting a provision that many had hoped would become a strong source of federal protection for civil rights. Chase's dissent placed him on the side of a broader understanding of Reconstruction's constitutional promise. His death mattered not only because of the offices he held, but because it came at a moment when the Supreme Court was deciding whether the Civil War amendments would transform American law or be read down almost as soon as they were adopted.Apple customers have asked a California federal judge to preliminarily approve a proposed $250 million settlement over claims that Apple overstated the artificial intelligence features available on the iPhone 16. The proposed class includes people who bought any iPhone 16 model or certain iPhone 15 models between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025. The customers allege Apple advertised enhanced Siri capabilities as part of its Apple Intelligence rollout even though those features were not yet available. Under the settlement, eligible class members who submit valid claims would receive $25 per device, with payments possibly rising to $95 per device depending on participation. Apple is also expected to provide additional Siri-related Apple Intelligence updates in the future at no extra cost.The plaintiffs said settlement made sense because AI-related consumer claims are still legally novel and would carry risk if the case continued. Apple had argued that its marketing was not deceptive because it had already released many Apple Intelligence features and had disclosed that other features would arrive over time. The case began in March 2025 and later became part of a consolidated set of related lawsuits in the Northern District of California. The parties conducted discovery, consulted experts, and participated in three full-day mediation sessions before reaching the proposed deal. Plaintiffs' lawyers plan to seek up to $70 million in fees, plus up to $600,000 in expenses. The settlement does not resolve separate securities or shareholder cases claiming Apple misled investors about the timing of the Siri rollout. Apple said it settled to remain focused on developing products and services, while maintaining that it has already introduced numerous Apple Intelligence tools.Apple Reaches $250M Deal Over Claims It Overhyped IPhone AI - Law360Bayer has agreed to acquire Perfuse Therapeutics, a San Francisco biopharma company, in a deal worth up to $2.45 billion. The transaction gives Bayer full rights to PER-001, a drug candidate in phase-two clinical development for glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Bayer will pay $300 million upfront, with the rest tied to development, regulatory, and sales milestones. Perfuse focuses on treatments that improve blood flow to the retina, with the goal of addressing conditions that can lead to blindness. Bayer said the acquisition strengthens its ophthalmology pipeline and supports its effort to develop new therapies for serious eye diseases.The deal is being handled legally by Baker McKenzie for Bayer, with partners Alan Zoccolillo, Oren Livne, and Jieun Tak leading the team. Goodwin Procter is advising Perfuse. The transaction still needs antitrust clearance and approval from Perfuse shareholders. Bayer is being advised financially by BofA Securities, while Centerview Partners is advising Perfuse. Bayer and Perfuse said glaucoma could affect about 112 million people by 2040, while diabetic retinopathy could affect 160 million people by 2045.Baker McKenzie-Led Bayer To Buy Perfuse For Up To $2.45B - Law360 UKThe California Supreme Court is considering whether drugmakers can be held legally responsible for stopping development of a potentially safer drug while continuing to sell an already-approved medication. The case involves Gilead Sciences and roughly 24,000 HIV patients who took drugs containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, or TDF. TDF-based drugs received FDA approval in 2001, but they were associated with possible kidney and bone side effects. Gilead later began developing a related drug, tenofovir alafenamide fumarate, or TAF, which patients say had fewer side effects. The company stopped developing TAF in 2004, arguing that it was not different enough from TDF to justify further investment.The patients claim Gilead delayed TAF for business reasons, including to protect TDF sales and time TAF's release around the expiration of TDF patents. Gilead argues that allowing the negligence claims to proceed would punish companies for researching possible improvements and could discourage innovation. The company says the lower court rulings effectively create a “duty to innovate,” even when the drug already on the market is not alleged to be defective. The patients respond that the case is not about forcing endless research, but about whether Gilead unreasonably delayed a safer alternative for profit. A ruling for the patients could expand product-liability exposure for pharmaceutical companies, while a ruling for Gilead could limit claims based on decisions not to commercialize drugs still in development.California's highest court to consider whether drugmakers have ‘duty to innovate' | Reuters This is a public episode.

Does data protection really protect our data, or has it just given us endless cookie banners to click through? Did you know that the data protection rules protecting your phone today actually have their roots in a 1978 French law? Long before the modern web, legislators already believed that technology should serve citizens and never violate human identity. Fast forward to today, and that spirit lives on in the General Data Protection Regulations, commonly known as the GDPR.In this episode of Yours Lawfully, produced by qLegal for the TMT Institute, we explore the realities behind GDPR, moving beyond the legal text to examine how it operates in everyday digital interactions. We are joined by Professor Ian Walden, who's an Of Counsel at Baker McKenzie, and has been a Professor of Information and Communications Law at the Centre for Commercial Law studies for over 30 years. We look at how GDPR functions from consent and transparency to enforcement challenges and organisational compliance. We also unpack the regulation's strengths, limitations, and evolving role in a data-driven world.

‘There's a historic perception that people who buy the lower price dupe were never going to buy the branded product anyway' Whether you're chronically online or a staunch high street shopper, you are bound to have encountered a dupe. They have become an unavoidable aspect of shopping, with many consumers being actively praised for finding them. Navigating them in the context of intellectual property law has proven to be challenging, with the rise of social media accelerating the need for it to keep up. In this episode, which was produced by qLegal for the TMT institute, we are joined by Deniz Toker, a Trademark Associate, and Kerri Ann Hazzard, a Senior Trademark Attorney, both at Baker McKenzie. In our conversation, Toker and Hazzard discuss how dupe culture emerged, social media's influence on dupe culture, changing consumer behaviour and psychology, and what IP avenues brands can use to take action against dupes.

December signals the close of one season, but for many of us, it’s a time when planning the following year truly kicks in. So what if you could gain not one, but three thinking buddies as you plan your 2026? For our season finale, we gathered three leaders who are knee-deep in planning, to give us the numbers and market insights needed to navigate what comes next. Like Patrick, you may consider this your 2026 Cheat Sheet. Bringing the series full circle, this episode features Todd Wilcox, CEO of HSBC Egypt; Laila Hassan, General Partner at Algebra Ventures; and Ahmed Badreldin, Director at Arkan Palm. They move past the generalities to tackle the specifics of resilience, breaking down the boring currency and inflation forecasts you should pencil. And in the process they reveal the unexpected, whether that’s reverse brain drain, or the fact that companies that aren’t AI-enabled become "uninvestable." And amidst all the strategy talk, they land on a singular truth: in a world marred by volatile markets and generic AI, our main anchor is human connection — and that’s what makes a business last. Forum Playback is an eight-part series capturing the definitive conversations we hosted as part of our annual EnterpriseAM Business Forum.

What exactly is the current state of our capital market? While there is consensus that stability is returning, the debate is about the pace of recovery, and what Egypt actually needs to get foreign capital flowing again. In this episode of Forum Playback, we move past the headlines to examine the intricate economy of capital markets, which is fueling what many believe is a major pivot point for Egypt. It’s an honest look at why optimism is high, and at the same time, a nod to how structural work is far from over. Leading the discussion are three dealmakers who’ve navigated this landscape for years: Mostafa Gad, Global Head of Investment Banking at EFG Hermes; Amr Helal, CEO of the Sell-Side at CI Capital; and Bassem Fayek, Managing Director and Partner at Boston Consulting Group. Alongside The Enterprise Company’s Director of Audience and Communication Rehaam Romero, they reveal the "missing ingredients" for a thriving market. They discuss why vague investment narratives are killing deals (and the specific formula needed to fix them), the growing tension between private equity and public listings, and the stark reality of Egypt’s market cap versus GDP, compared to its regional peers.

With India looking to be the world's third-largest economy by 2030, and with significant shifts occurring in its legal landscape and how it sees foreign investment, there are boundless opportunities not just for firms with an Australian presence but also for Australia-based practitioners.

She also delves into the challenges that global firms like Bakers face in gaining stronger footholds in India, as well as the inherent opportunities, what such changes to the landscape mean for Australia and its practitioners, how Australians should view the evolving legal landscape in India, and why she's so excited by such change.

The Advisory Board | Expert Franchising Advice for Franchise Leaders
The Advisory Board PodcastEpisode: Confidence, Culture & the Blushington WayGuest: Natasha Cornstein, CEO of Blushington HoldingsSponsored by: ClientTether – the smart way to grow your franchise.What do luxury beauty, Broadway, and power listening have in common? Natasha Cornstein, CEO of Blushington Holdings, joined us on this episode to share how a next-gen beauty brand is setting the gold standard—not just for glam, but for how businesses should listen, lead, and scale with soul. Beauty with a MissionNatasha might not be the founder, but she's the visionary CEO behind Blushington's bold expansion. With locations in NYC and upcoming launches in Boca Raton and Houston, Blushington isn't just serving makeup and blowouts—they're serving confidence in a glass of champagne (or sparkling water, if that's your vibe). The mantra? Confidence looks great on you.Customer Experience = Business StrategyFor Blushington, customer experience isn't fluff—it's strategy. Natasha broke down how every detail, from hair washes to tone of voice, is engineered to make guests feel heard, seen, and celebrated. And we're not just talking lipstick and lashes. We're talking about a culture of power listening—a practice that's been baked into the DNA of the brand since day one.What's “Power Listening” Anyway?It's not your average active listening. Power listening means really hearing—without interrupting, without ego, and with the intent to understand, not just respond. It's how Natasha leads her team, trains artists, and builds loyalty both in-store and across her franchise network. The results? Artists feel valued, customers feel heard, and services like wig styling (yes, wigs!) are born from team ideas that rise to the top.Diversity and Inclusion: Not Just a TaglineBlushington's commitment to inclusivity isn't performative—it's operational. From inventory to training, their team is equipped to serve all women: all skin tones, hair textures, and backgrounds. This isn't new for them—it's who they've been since 2011.Franchising with HeartTransitioning from a corporate model to franchising, Natasha is all about balance: structure meets creativity. With powerhouse partners like iFranchise and Baker McKenzie onboard, she's building a franchise culture that values the operator's insights as much as the playbook. Her franchisees? Often customers first. Loyal to the experience, now committed to scaling it.Bonus Round: Glam Meets BroadwayFun fact: Natasha's husband is co-producing a Broadway show, Take a Banana for the Road with Jeffrey Ross, opening this August. So if you find yourself in NYC, you might just catch some blush, a blowout, and a standing ovation all in one trip.Listen in to hear how beauty, business, and culture intersect—beautifully. And thank you again to ClientTether, for sponsoring today's episode and supporting smarter franchise growth through automation, lead nurturing, and CRM tools designed for brands that want to scale with impact.
What does it take to go from the mail room to the C-suite? And how does someone stay grounded in empathy while holding one of the highest positions in a global firm? In this episode of Leadership with Heart, William McKinley Washington II, Global CFO at Baker McKenzie, shares a journey that challenges assumptions about leadership, success, and what it means to rise. His story begins far from corner offices and executive meetings. William is open about being a high school and college dropout, a young father navigating food stamps and homelessness, and someone who never expected to one day lead a global finance team across 46 countries. This conversation is not about titles. It is about growth, ownership, and leadership that begins with a human connection. William speaks candidly about the moment he was told he was not ready for the role he wanted and how he turned that into a turning point. Rather than push back, he leaned in, brought in a coach, embraced the harsh feedback, and reshaped his leadership. The result was not just a promotion. It was a transformation. What stands out most is his commitment to authenticity. When he stepped into the CFO role, his priority was not strategy or performance metrics. It was a connection. At one of his earliest team meetings, a colleague shared a powerful personal story that brought the room to tears. That openness has become the foundation of how he leads. This episode will offer insight and inspiration if you are in the early stages of your career or facing a leadership crossroads. William's path is a reminder that doors may open unexpectedly, but what matters most is the courage to walk through them and bring others with you. How do you lead when no one is watching? And what would it take for you to show up more fully, not just as a professional, but as a person? Let me know what resonates with you.

When goods, services and rights go back and forth within a company, how do you attribute profit or loss to one part of the company versus another? Former OECD head of tax treaties and transfer pricing Mary Bennett and EY's Mike McDonald join this episode of “GILTI Conscience” for a detailed discussion on the attribution of profits to permanent establishments. Skadden tax partners David Farhat and Nate Carden and associate Stefane Victor host the discussion, which explores, among other topics, critical differences between Articles 7 and 9 of the OECD Model Tax Convention and why these distinctions matter for multinational businesses.
Tax departments at multinational companies are scrambling to keep up with the Trump administration's tariff announcements as the updates pile in day to day and sudden shifts complicate transfer pricing calculations. Tariffs raise companies' costs, and those can't always be passed on to consumers—meaning businesses have to choose where to allocate the costs in their supply chains. While the importing entity pays the tariffs, the company can adjust the transfer price to pass that cost to other, related entities. That can present opportunities to reduce the impact of tariffs—but also may lead to risks of audits from tax and customs agencies. And with so much unknown, it's become hard for companies to find tax certainty, said Summer Austin, partner at Baker McKenzie. Austin and Baker McKenzie partner Jennifer Revis talked to Bloomberg Tax reporter Caleb Harshberger about what the tariffs mean for transfer pricing and how companies should respond.

This Day in Legal History: West Law Reports PublishedOn October 21, 1876, the West Publishing Company, founded by John B. West, published its first legal reporter, The Syllabi. This marked the beginning of a transformation in how American legal professionals accessed and utilized case law. The Syllabi aimed to provide Minnesota lawyers with timely, accurate, and reliable legal information, distinguishing itself through its promise to be "prompt, interesting, full, and at all times thoroughly reliable." Over time, The Syllabi evolved into the Northwestern Reporter, which played a significant role in shaping the broader National Reporter System. West's innovation was groundbreaking because it standardized the reporting of judicial decisions across multiple jurisdictions, creating a centralized, accessible body of case law. The National Reporter System expanded to cover decisions from various courts in different regions, making it easier for lawyers to research case law beyond state boundaries. This system eventually became the foundation for modern legal research and was essential for the creation of tools like Westlaw, which revolutionized legal research with digital access in the 20th century. It is worth noting, the development of a centralized legal reporting system, while transformative, also raises important access to justice issues. West Publishing's dominance in legal reporting and the eventual emergence of paid research platforms like Westlaw created barriers for individuals and smaller firms with limited financial resources. The high cost of accessing comprehensive legal databases places those without the means at a significant disadvantage, potentially hindering their ability to conduct thorough legal research or build strong cases. This disparity underscores the ongoing challenge of ensuring equal access to legal resources, a critical factor in promoting fairness within the justice system.China-based drone manufacturer DJI has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Defense Department, challenging its inclusion on a list of companies allegedly linked to Beijing's military. DJI claims the designation is inaccurate and has caused substantial financial harm, including lost business deals and a tarnished reputation. The company, which controls over half of the U.S. commercial drone market, argues it is neither owned nor controlled by the Chinese military and seeks removal from the list. DJI alleges that the Pentagon did not engage with the company for over 16 months regarding the designation, leaving it no choice but to pursue legal action. The Pentagon has not commented on the suit. DJI is also facing increasing scrutiny in the U.S., with concerns raised about potential security risks from its drones. Earlier this week, U.S. Customs stopped some DJI imports under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, though DJI denies any involvement with forced labor. Meanwhile, the U.S. House has passed a bill to ban new DJI drones, pending Senate action.Drone maker DJI sues Pentagon over Chinese military listing | ReutersEli Lilly has filed lawsuits against three medical spas and online vendors—Pivotal Peptides, MangoRx, and Genesis Lifestyle Medicine—over selling unauthorized versions of its weight-loss drug, Zepbound, which contains tirzepatide. These lawsuits, filed in federal and state courts, accuse the companies of false advertising and promotion, including selling products without medical prescriptions and making unverified claims about the drug's safety and efficacy. Pivotal Peptides allegedly marketed tirzepatide for research but sold it directly to consumers, while MangoRx offered an unapproved oral version of the drug. Genesis was accused of selling compounded tirzepatide with vitamin B12, a combination that Lilly says is unsafe and untested. Lilly's lawsuits follow earlier legal actions against other companies for similar offenses. The drugmaker aims to protect consumers from potential health risks and seeks to stop the defendants from selling these products, as well as pursuing monetary damages.Lilly sues online vendors, medical spa over copycat weight-loss drugs | ReutersFour prominent labor lawyers from Baker McKenzie's New York employment practice—Paul Evans, Krissy Katzenstein, Blair Robinson, and Jeffrey Sturgeon—have moved to Paul Hastings, leaving Baker McKenzie short one-third of its employment lawyers. The team has represented Fox News in several high-profile employment disputes, including defending the network in cases involving former host Britt McHenry and a COVID-19 workplace exposure claim. The team has also worked with clients like CBS Broadcasting, Paramount Global, and Panda Express. Their move to Paul Hastings follows collaborations with the firm's employment lawyers, and they plan to continue growing Paul Hastings' client relationships. The transition strengthens Paul Hastings' East Coast employment practice, enhancing its capacity in complex employment matters, including Title VII representation, pay equity, and class actions. Paul Hastings' leadership sees this as a significant boost, especially ahead of regulatory shifts tied to the 2024 presidential election.Fox News Employment Defense Team Moves Over to Paul HastingsNew Jersey Transit Corp. (NJ Transit) is facing a patent infringement lawsuit from Railware Inc., which claims NJ Transit is using its railworker-safety technology without permission. NJ Transit is seeking to dismiss the case, asserting sovereign immunity as an "arm of the State of New Jersey." The issue is complicated by the fact that NJ Transit operates in both New Jersey and New York. While the Third Circuit, which covers New Jersey, has previously ruled that NJ Transit qualifies for immunity, the Second Circuit, which covers New York, uses a stricter test to determine state immunity. This case is significant because it could set a precedent for how sovereign immunity is applied across jurisdictions.Railware argues that NJ Transit's immunity claim is invalid, citing the agency's independent operation and non-state funding. The case also touches on broader legal debates about when state agencies can claim immunity in patent cases. NJ Transit is awaiting a key ruling from the New York Court of Appeals on whether it is immune from another lawsuit, which could influence this case. If conflicting rulings emerge from different courts, the matter may be escalated to the U.S. Supreme Court for resolution.NJ Transit Patent Immunity Claim Crosses Circuit-Court Divide This is a public episode.

Hosted by Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli, the episode blends humor and serious insights to tackle the evolving challenges faced by CISOs today.The Dodgeball Analogy: Setting the StageThe conversation starts on a light-hearted note with a playful dodgeball analogy, a clever metaphor used to illustrate the growing complexities in the cybersecurity landscape. This sets the tone for a deeper exploration of the pressures and responsibilities that modern CISOs face, bridging the gap between legacy technology and contemporary cybersecurity challenges.Legacy Technology vs. Modern CybersecurityDrawing from the dodgeball metaphor, Sean and Marco highlight the burden of legacy technology and its impact on current cybersecurity practices. Jess Nall shares her perspective on how past business operations influence today's cybersecurity strategies, emphasizing the need for CISOs to adapt and innovate continually.ITSP Magazine's Milestone and Black Hat ConnectionsThis episode also marks a celebratory milestone for ITSP Magazine.

She underscores the severe implications of government scrutiny on CISOs, drawing from high-profile cases like SEC v. SolarWinds and Tim Brown. Jess provides practical advice for CISOs to avoid regulatory pitfalls and highlights the importance of staying vigilant and proactive in their roles.The Internet's Troubled History and Its ImpactMarco steers the conversation towards the Internet's troubled history and its initial lack of security foresight. Jess reflects on how these historical challenges have shaped modern cybersecurity practices, emphasizing the difficulties of keeping up with evolving threats and expanding attack surfaces. She also discusses the controversial strategy of targeting CISOs to influence corporate cybersecurity measures, a practice she staunchly opposes.The Perfect Storm: AI and CybersecurityThe discussion turns to the increasing complexity of cybersecurity in the age of AI. Sean and Jess delve into the pressures CISOs face as they balance the incorporation of AI technologies with maintaining robust cybersecurity measures. Jess describes this scenario as a “perfect storm,” making the role of a CISO more challenging than ever.Regulation and Legislation: A Critical ExaminationMarco raises critical concerns about the reactive nature of current cybersecurity legislation and regulation. Jess discusses how federal agencies often target individuals closest to a cybersecurity breach and outlines the topics she will cover in her upcoming Black Hat presentation. She aims to educate CISOs on preventive measures and strategic responses to navigate these challenges effectively.Looking Ahead: Black Hat 2024As the episode concludes, Sean emphasizes the importance of awareness and proactive measures among CISOs. Marco encourages listeners to attend Jess Nall's presentation at Black Hat 2024 on August 7th at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

The unthinkable has happened: Donald Trump has found himself in a legal storm that no amount of hush money can silence. In an age where cynicism is more abundant than hope, this verdict feels like a much-needed, surprising relief. As you and all the world know by now, Trump has been found guilty in the election interference case, a landmark decision brought by the ever-persistent Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who has sued Trump around 100 times in his long career of public service. Trump now faces 136 years in prison, four years for each of the 34 felony counts, and will be sentenced on July 11 by a steely Judge Juan Merchan, who has endured death threats and other harassment against him and his family. It's okay to celebrate and to also mourn all that's been taken from us, including countless lives, by Trump and his family stealing the 2016 election, backed by their goon squad and the Kremlin in a transnational conspiracy. This week's bonus show, available to all in a Gaslit Nation block party, looks at the Wall Street machine that Bragg had to overcome for this historic moment, the mass destruction of Cy Vance, Jr.'s dark legacy of corruption, and how grassroots power once again, led by progressives and nonwhite people, forced justice in the face of institutional failure and complicity. Thank you to everyone who stays in this fight. It's because of you we stand a chance to overcome Trump and his MAGA cult in November, and do the urgent work ahead to transform our democracy, in order to Trump-proof it for many generations to come.
