Today our guest is Andrew Alexander, an attorney in the Intellectual Property group at Calfee, Halter and Griswold. We sit down with Andy to investigate copyright law as it relates to social media. When is it ok for a brand to repost someone else's content? What are some of the safeguards brands can put in place? What does the average user need to think about when making and posting UGC?  It turns out that because this media sector has moved far faster than case law or legislation, the answers are far from black and white – instead, they're many shades of gray.

In the third episode of our new master class series on the SEC Marketing Rule! You’ll hear from host, Patrick Hayes, Calfee along with our industry panelists Genna Garver, Partner, Troutman Pepper, Bree Ward Associate, Akerman LLP, Matt Shepherd, Director, ACA Group. Together, we’ll discuss the general impact of the new Marketing rule to Private Funds. We’ll dive into the requirement to present net performance, the application of related performance to private funds, and considerations around hypothetical performance. We’ll also take a look at other relevant marketing rules and prohibitions that still apply. With just three months until the compliance date for the new rule, this series is the perfect master class to set you and your firm up for success. Listen and enjoy! Show Interview with Genna Garver, Bree Ward, Matt Shepherd 1:50: Introductions 4:12: Impact of the new rule to Private Funds 15:08: Performance 19:15: Extracted Performance 32:18: Related Performance 43:35: Hypothetical Performance 55:10: Endorsements: Replacement of Cash Solicitation Rule, Disclosures, Cap Intro Programs, and Testimonials 1:13:10: New private fund rule proposals Quotes 07:26 –“The big take-away here is that the marketing rule is a merger of the prior cash solicitation rule and the advertising rule... Out of the gate, the combined rule, on its face because of the two-pronged definition to the term advertisement bring in pooled investment vehicle private fund, in particular investors, for compliance generally for both rules and that’s a fundamental shift for how the prior rules both operated.” – Genna 14:11 – “As a practitioner, either on the legal side or the compliance side, you have to presume that written materials or recordings are going to be deemed advertisements. – Genna 18:00 – “Historically, some information has only been presented gross because it’s either mathematically difficult or impossible to come up with a net version of that number. Or is it meaningful to present a net version of that number... The problem is that the rule creates this new definition called extracted performance… The rule explicitly says, if you show extracted performance it must be shown net and that’s a problem. “ - Matt 1:14:37 – “Get your policies and procedures drafted in a way that really tries to catch the ethos of this rule. Which is: Is it fair and balanced? Are you making disclosures? And try to capture your processes in a way that makes sense, that you can justify them, and then follow them.” – Bree Resources ACA Group Marketing Rule Resource Library LinkedIn: ACA Group, Compliance in Context, NSCP Twitter: @acacompliance, @compliancepod Websites: ACA Group,

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Marketing Rule Master Class mini-series. Episode 5 focuses on testimonials, endorsements, and third-party ratings. Moderator, Patrick Hayes, Calfee and panelists Jaqueline Hummel, ACA, Anthony Dillingham, ACA, and Matt Shepherd, ACA, delve into the nuances and traps for the weary when utilizing testimonials, endorsements and third-party ratings. While the new rule is a potential game-changer for firms, actual implementation comes with caveats and compliance burdens. We hope you enjoy this installment of the Master Class mini-series! Show Interview with Jacqueline Hummel, Anthony Dillingham, Matt Shepherd 7:11: Review of the industry (social media, adoption and entanglement, live presentation/speeches, inadvertent endorsements). 45:36: Building the right disclosures (disclosure of compensation and conflicts of interest) 1:01:40: Third Party Ratings 1:08:20: How will this area be reviewed by the Division of Examinations? Quotes 07:33 - “The prior advertising rule contained an outright prohibition against the inclusion of testimonials and over time that was supplemented by a series of no-action letters where essentially the industry was writing to the SCC and saying, ‘If we do this, is this a testimonial?’ And they would say, ‘Well, maybe but not if you do it this way.’” - Matt 10:04 - “The definition of endorsement and testimonial… They’re not the same but they are very, very similar. So, just for the sake of keeping the conversation simple, I’m going to say that they’re basically the same and what’s different between the two is the identity of the person who makes that statement.” - Matt 18:48 - “You still have to remember that no matter what you put out there you are still subject to the fraud provision of the Advisers Act.” - Jacqui 31.52 – “The degree of adoption and entanglement, whether a third-party communication is even going to be deemed an advertisement of the adviser at all, is going to be dependent on the extent the adviser has adopted or entangled itself.” – Patrick 49:57 – “There is still going to be a dichotomy between state registered investment advisers and federally registered investment advisers. So, while many states will follow the SEC’s lead, there are still exceptions.” – Jacqui 1:03:32 - “It is always best practice to disclose whatever the reader, or listener, or the watcher of that marketing material would want to know. What does this rating mean in context and how did you get it?”– Jacqui Resources ACA Group Marketing Rule Resource Library LinkedIn: ACA Group, Compliance in Context, NSCP Twitter: @acacompliance, @compliancepod Websites: ACA Group,

Welcome back to Compliance In Context podcast! We are incredibly pleased to announce the release of our new master class series on the new SEC Marketing Rule! In our first episode of the master class, you’ll hear from our co-hosts, Patrick Hayes, Calfee and Carlo di Florio, ACA Group along with our industry panelists from the SEC, Steven Levine and Chris Mulligan, as we provide background on the new SEC Marketing Rule and why it was developed. We’ll cover key nuances to the rule, the founding principles behind the rule, and feedback that the SEC has received from the industry. We’ll also explore how the Division of Examinations has prepared to examine for the new rule and lessons learned from early adopters. With just three months until the compliance date for the new rule, this series is the perfect master class to set you and your firm up for success. Listen and enjoy! Show Interview with Steven Levine and Chris Mulligan 2:30: Motivation for the new SEC Marketing Rule 8:00: Fundamental principles 10:49: Key Nuances and FAQs 20:00: Feedback from the industry 23:11: Impact of comment letters 28:13: Impact of the new rule on SEC Examinations 32:47: Review of policies and procedures during examinations 48:00: Application to compliance programs Quotes 03:13 – “The existing regulatory regime that we were working with was potentially a bit dated. The advertising rule that was in existence before this most recent rule adoption, was adopted in 1961. So we were dealing with an advertising rule from 1961 and there was a cash solicitation rule that was adopted in 1979. Decades have gone by since those rule adoptions.” – Steven 04:33 – “One of the motivators for this most recent marketing rule was to put everything in one place. Eliminate the system that we currently had where there were a bunch of pieces of relief all over the place and just codify everything at the commission-level into a single rule. The hope there is that everyone would be on the same page in the industry as to what the guideposts are for operating at this space.” – Steven 13:00 – “And that FAQ basically says that an advisor may–but is not required–to comply with the new marketing rule in advance to the new compliance date. However, if an advisor chooses to comply with any part of the new marketing rule, it must shift it’s compliance program over too. Basically, it must comply with all of the rule, not only part of it.” – Steven 18:30 – “In order to demonstrate to the SEC staff that a particular advertisement complies with the rule, pointing to a no-action letter is no longer an acceptable way to do that. There has to be something within the rule itself or be adopting release that justifies the underlying content that is being questioned.” – Steven 32:47 – “I think any tips I could give is, start with your policies and procedures. Start with your policies and procedures. That’s where we’re going to look at first, right? You have to, at least, acknowledge, like, we’re going to want to know that you’ve acknowledged that the world has changed and there’s a new rule, right? And that is kind of expressed through your policies and procedures.” – Chris 49:37 – &ldq

In this episode of CHATTINN CYBER, Marc Schein interviews John Jenkins, Senior Editor and Law Firm Partner at TheCorporateCounsel.net and Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLP. During the conversation, John explains his journey to heading one of the most regarded M&A news centres in the US, cybersecurity risk assessment, and effective client management. Discussing the issues to be addressed in the negotiation of M&A agreements, John explains how smart buyers, from the outset, would be already invested in assessing the post-closing issues, integration, operations, handling contacts and the like. Depending on the nature of the transaction and the parties' sophistication, different professionals are assigned to clients to handle the cybersecurity assessment. In addition, when dealing with large firms with data breaches in the past, a separate team of forensic consultants is assigned to better understand the client's needs. Cybersecurity assessment needs to be the front and center for every buyer and seller. To win buyers, sellers need to showcase an infallible track record. To assess a company in a limited period, you would have to perform a risk assessment and then suitably allocate resources. Unless you do a risk assessment at the outset, resource allocation might not be clear. Further in the conversation, John explains the latest trends in sealing deals. As he shares, there's been an increase in deals engaging reps and warranties coverage over the years. Towards the close of the episode, John shares that cybersecurity assessment is part of a dynamic regulatory environment. Over time, it's only going to get more complicated for both parties (buyers and sellers) to scope the issues early on in any potential transaction. Listen in to get a detailed picture of cybersecurity risk assessment with clients. Highlights: “What's the environment we're dealing with here? How sophisticated is the seller, where its risks, what are its compliance environment?” “If you're a cyber person, that's where you look. But you may have competitive situations where your your due diligence opportunities are going to be somewhat limited and targeted, you're to get through to next rounds, you may have some more confirmatory due diligence at the end.” “So you have to do a risk assessment, and you kind of have to allocate resources based on your assessment of the risks, and obviously, the more sophisticated the risk assessor is, the better off that that process can be. So, it is something that needs to be done at the outset. Because unless you do it at the outset, you're not going to be able to engage in a really fully informed risk assessment process to allocate those resources.” Time-Stamps: [01:00] - John's cybersecurity journey [02:15] - Cybersecurity and M&A transactions [09:44] - Front end, Back end, and Due diligence evaluation [11:58] - Is there an increase in deals engaging reps and warranties coverage?

Reaching your goals is done when no ones looking. So when you announce your 2022 goals, and someone clocks you (asks about your goals/ asks for an update) will you be defensive and stumbling on your words, or will you be providing an update because you've been doing the work? Calfee had a candid conversation about being un-clockable while ranting about being an influencer in Louisiana. Hope you enjoy!

Having the desire to win doesn't make you a bad person. Calfee talks about what it's like to have the desire to be the best, and inspires those who have the want to be successful to never fear the crown that they desire to wear for the effort they demonstrated.

Calfee talks about the problem that comes with achieving a healthy lifestyle and then back sliding into your “old lifestyles” unhealthy ways. She speaks on how what you you eat can affect your mental health journey (that always coincides the physical health journey that many people go on.) This rant talks about multiple points within Calfee‘s own personal weight loss journey (losing 75 lbs) and describes how she balances her fun and her health in ways that are most conducive to her reaching her potential!

Calfee returns to the podcast scene with guns a blazing with a live stream dedicated to comprehending what it takes to lose weight and get results as she did! She shares the keys on how to lose weight and get results like she did!Calfee started her journey at 210 pounds, at 5 foot three at the age of 19 and has been able to keep the weight off, build muscle, and leave other women to do the same for the last six years. As a certified personal trainer, with the personality and energy that'll make anybody smile, and her blunt down to earth method of manifesting your dream life, healthy help women get out of auto pilot and into the life that I've always wanted.

Local lover of Lynchburg and leather, Daryl Calfee, sits down with Jarad in the first episode of a multi-part miniseries.  

Industry: Phyllis Harbinger and Daryl Calfee This Friday in the Lounge Nick is joined by Daryl Calfee, Vice President of Marketing for leather manufacturer and Chaise Lounge sponsor Moore & Giles, for a fascinating conversation on the history and art of luxury leather production. Plus, Moore & Giles will be giving away a FREE luxury bag for listeners who follow The Chaise Lounge podcast on social media. Details coming soon! Next, Nick chats with monthly speaker Phyllis Harbinger about hiring smart to make sure that your firm never suffers from employee issues. Daryl Calfee: Leather is a Luxury Nick sits down with Daryl Calfee, VP of Marketing for leather producer — and newest Chaise Lounge sponsor — Moore and Giles. The Moore and Giles Story Daryl says that you've probably sat on Moore and Giles leather — and may even have it in your home — without knowing it. The company has been based out of Lynchburg, Virginia since the 1930s, when its founder, Donald Gray Moore, was laid off from his gig working at a local shoe factory and instead became the factory's leather supplier. Later, the company expanded into furniture sales. In the 1990s, however, the firm switched its attention to building a new luxury, worn-in leather product and partnered with Spain-based tannery Tanerias Omega. The first order was a whopping 50,000 square feet, and despite initial challenges, they learned how to develop institutional knowledge for natural leathers. Now, Moore and Giles are a fixture in restaurants like Starbucks, hotels in Vegas, and Boeing aircraft for their vintage, worn-in and waxy leather. Passion for the Product Daryl discusses the history of leather, which has evolved with humanity for thousands of years and has become a luxury good only relatively recently.  Moore and Giles, he says, invests heavily in sustainable, high-quality rawhides from different climates for different needs — whether that means sourcing from South America, where hides are very large but thin, or a northern climate like Germany for a naturally thicker hide and is generally more free of scarring. Aside from color saturation or some light waxing, Moore and Giles avoid painting on color — which Daryl says is a cheap move to cover up a low-quality rawhide (Nick likens to a faux finish). Instead, they embrace the imperfections and celebrate that each one is going to be different. Faux leather doesn't exist, Daryl says — it's something else entirely. And when passion for creation and expression trumps cheap manufacturing, the money follows. Phyllis Harbinger: Hire Smart Phyllis, a regular guest in the Lounge, shares the lessons she has learned while intelligently growing her firm, Design Concepts Interiors, from a “lean and mean machine” of one into a team of creative and self-sufficient individuals. She says that she hired her first — and second — full-time employee through establishing an intern program about fifteen years ago, and invested handsomely in both. The Value of Nurturing Interns “It's not inexpensive, but you get what you pay for,” Phyllis explains. “When you find that talent, and nurture that talent, it goes places.” Initially, Phyllis focuses on teaching and mentoring interns before raising their pay from minimum wage when they become more competent and experienced. She even Ubers her current intern to and from work in order to nurture what she considers to be an indispensable relationship. Her third employee was a former student who showed promise and drive. In time, all three grew into positions that naturally fit their personality and freed Phyllis to avoid spending time on accounting or CAD and creatively run her business.
