Imagine if the tiny tracking code behind personalized ads and website recommendations were suddenly considered unlawful.   That's exactly what's happening in the growing legal battle over cookies and tracking pixels across the country with new fronts opening.   In this episode of The Data Chronicles, we examine plaintiffs' efforts to expand the web tracking litigation battleground by claiming that unconsented use of web trackers constitutes a data breach under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which entitles comes with statutory damages and a private right of action.   Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells litigators Aidan Coleman and Jay Ettinger to break down the legal implications of new case law on this issue and discuss what's at stake for the internet as we know it.

President Donald Trump's April 15th executive order, “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First”, contained a smorgasbord of policy proposals targeting a variety of industry stakeholders. But how much legal force do these different elements have, and what are the concrete takeaways for pharma? To answer these questions and more, host Jonah Comstock once again welcomes Hogan Lovells attorney Alice Valder Curran to the podcast to pick apart the order piece by piece. They discuss the headline – Trump's intention to eliminate the Inflation Reduction Act's “pill penalty”, and talk about why the language is more ambiguous than it appears and could be good or bad news for pharma. They also talk about PBM reform, closing 340B loopholes, and how much the Federal government can really do to promote drug importation from Canada at the state level. Check out the podcast to learn everything you wanted to know about Trump's Executive Order.

The Supreme Court will consider a case at the end of March that could limit Congress' ability to let federal regulators determine what public health and safety standards are necessary. Depending on what the court decides, any statute that grants discretion to an agency could be open for re-review, said Jessica Ellsworth, a partner at Hogan Lovells. "There's probably hundreds of thousands of places in the US code that there are terms used like 'in the public interest,' whether something is 'necessary' and 'appropriate,' whether something is 'reasonable,' whether something is 'fair' or 'unfair,' whether it's 'essential,'" she said. Ellsworth joins Cases and Controversies hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler to discuss the nondelegation doctrine and how this legal principle, which the court has been asked to revive, could impact the federal telecom subsidy program at issue and other regulations more broadly. The hosts also chat about a social media post from President Donald Trump that garnered a rare response from Chief Justice John Roberts.

That is the question this episode of The Data Chronicles seeks to answer.   Scott Loughlin continues the discussion on the EU Data Act with Henrik Hanssen, counsel from Hogan Lovells' Hamburg office, to explore how the cloud switching and interoperability requirements under the EU Data Act will affect cloud service product design, customer agreements and cloud business models. As cloud providers face the need to adapt, Scott and Henrik break down the challenges and opportunities that come with this significant regulatory shift.

After Donald Trump won the presidential election, dealmakers at corporations—and the Big Law lawyers that represent them—were optimistic about the prospects for increased corporate mergers and acquisitions. But the first two months of 2025 have fallen far short of expectations. Not only have deal tallies been lower than hoped, they are the lowest in five years. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law's Mahira Dayal talks about what this slowdown means for law firms. Also, Hogan Lovells partner Mahvesh Qureshi discusses the current M&A environment and what it will take to get deals moving in the coming months.

Last year, Alice Valder Curran, a partner at Hogan Lovells and a healthcare policy expert in Washington, D.C. joined host Jonah Comstock on the pharmaphorum podcast to talk about the intended and unintended consequences of the drug pricing negotiation provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act. On today's episode, Curran joins us once again for an update on the IRA, looking at the second batch of drugs announced in January, recent messaging from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and what it might communicate about their thinking, and more analysis of IRA's consequences, including a recent study on the impact of the IRA on early stage investment. She also talks about the possibility that, because of perverse incentives for pharmacy benefit managers, patient access to medications negotiated under the IRA could actually get worse. And she looks ahead to the third round of negotiations, which will see Part D drugs, including Keytruda, become eligible. While the IRA was the main focus of discussion, Curran and Comstock discuss a lot more about the current chaotic environment in DC, including the potential impact of layoffs on the functioning of agencies like CMS and FDA, the outlook for the possibility of IRA reform under the Trump administration, and the recent dispatch from Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy indicating a change in policy around notice and comment rulemaking.  Things are happening fast in the United States government and the ripples could have big effects for the pharma industry. Tune in for the low-down from an expert insider.

But the court was only asked in the case argued Wednesday to answer whether the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit applied the correct standard when assessing whether the law violated the free speech rights of adults. “I don't know if there is going to be sufficient alignment on how to get to the answers here,” said Mark Brennan, who works with a variety of companies in the online space as a partner at Hogan Lovells.

In this Data Chronicles podcast, host Scott Loughlin is joined by Hogan Lovells colleagues Ryan Thompson and Harsimar Dhanoa to explore the clash between data privacy, regulation of online services, and the First Amendment as spotlighted in a recent Ninth Circuit decision on California's Age-Appropriate Design Code Act (AADC). This ruling, which found that the AADC's Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIAs) requirements likely violate the First Amendment, could impact data protection policy more broadly as policymakers increasingly see DPIAs as a regulatory tool. Listen as they dissect the ruling's implications for DPIAs and the future of using DPIAs as a component of kids policy.

This Day in Legal History: Khrushchev at the HelmOn September 13, 1953, Nikita Khrushchev was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, marking a pivotal shift in Soviet leadership following the death of Joseph Stalin. Khrushchev's rise to power signaled a departure from the oppressive and brutal regime of Stalin, as he eventually denounced many of Stalin's crimes during his famous "Secret Speech" in 1956. This denouncement was part of Khrushchev's broader policy of de-Stalinization, which aimed to reduce the terror associated with Stalin's rule and promote a more moderate, reform-oriented government. Khrushchev's leadership saw significant changes both domestically and internationally. He pushed for economic reforms, introduced policies that relaxed censorship, and reduced the use of forced labor. On the global stage, Khrushchev's foreign policy was marked by intense Cold War tensions, including the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. His eventual mishandling of the crisis and other domestic challenges contributed to his ouster in 1964 by political rivals within the Soviet leadership.The legal element here is Khrushchev's role in de-Stalinization, which involved dismantling many of Stalin's legal policies of oppression, including the arbitrary imprisonment and execution of political opponents. His reforms reshaped the Soviet legal system by curbing the powers of the secret police and reducing the scale of political purges.Hogan Lovells is closing its offices in Poland, Australia, and South Africa as part of a strategic shift to focus on key markets like London, New York, California, Texas, and Washington, DC. This move will result in 123 layoffs, including lawyers and support staff. CEO Miguel Zaldivar explained the decision aligns with the firm's goal of becoming more financially integrated and reaching $3 billion in annual revenue. Hogan Lovells is following a trend of Big Law firms reducing their real estate footprints, with firms like Dechert, Armstrong Teasdale, and A&O Shearman also closing offices globally. Legal recruiter Jeffrey Lowe noted that international offices are particularly costly for U.S. firms, prompting many to reassess their presence in certain markets. The closures reflect a broader effort to free up capital to attract high-priced lateral talent, a trend expected to continue in the coming years.Hogan Lovells to Close Three Offices in ‘Strategic' Move (3)Norfolk Southern Corp. is seeking its seventh legal leader in as many years after firing Chief Legal Officer Nabanita Nag and CEO Alan Shaw due to a consensual relationship that violated company policy. This follows an internal investigation conducted by an outside law firm. Jason Morris, the company's vice president for law, has been named acting corporate secretary, though it is unclear if he will assume control of the legal department. Norfolk Southern has faced significant legal and regulatory challenges, including the costly East Palestine, Ohio train derailment in 2022, which has led to $2 billion in litigation and remediation expenses.Nag, who took over as legal chief in 2022, is the latest in a series of legal department leaders to leave Norfolk Southern. Her predecessors left for various reasons, including retirement and relocation due to the company's headquarters moving from Norfolk, Virginia to Atlanta. Norfolk Southern has reached large settlements related to the Ohio derailment, including $600 million to resolve lawsuits and $310 million for U.S. government claims. The company continues to deal with litigation over the incident, represented by WilmerHale and Dickie McCamey, and faces further scrutiny from investors following the disaster.Norfolk Southern Law Head's Ouster Continues Department TurnoverThe House has received a letter from the federal judiciary regarding a potential impeachment inquiry into former Alaska District Judge Joshua Kindred, who resigned after being found guilty of sexual misconduct and lying to investigators. The Ninth Circuit's Judicial Committee certified an impeachment inquiry into Kindred in July, citing his creation of a hostile work environment and an inappropriate relationship with a former law clerk. While Kindred resigned, a Senate conviction could bar him from future public office. Democratic Representative Hank Johnson praised the judiciary for taking the allegations seriously, but it remains unclear if the House will pursue the matter. Legal experts suggest Republicans may be reluctant to proceed, given that Kindred is no longer in office, similar to their stance during Trump's second impeachment trial. The last federal judge impeached and removed from office was G. Thomas Porteous in 2010.Meanwhile, scrutiny has increased on Kindred's past cases, with over 40 potentially involving conflicts of interest. Criminal defense lawyers in Alaska are exploring opportunities to overturn convictions related to Kindred's misconduct. Additionally, Kindred's former clerk has filed a whistleblower complaint, alleging retaliation by the Alaska U.S. Attorney's office after she reported the harassment.Ex-Alaska Judge's Potential Impeachment Moves to House (2)TikTok and its parent company ByteDance are facing a pivotal court hearing on Monday that could determine whether the app will be banned in the U.S. by January 19, 2025. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia will hear oral arguments in the legal challenge, which occurs as TikTok remains a key platform for political engagement during the 2024 presidential election. TikTok argues that the law mandating its sale or banning it violates free speech rights and is a drastic departure from the U.S. tradition of supporting an open internet. U.S. lawmakers passed the law, citing national security concerns over potential Chinese government access to American data. TikTok has claimed that divesting the app is unfeasible, and the case could end up before the Supreme Court. While the Biden administration wants Chinese ownership of TikTok to end, it is not pushing for an outright ban if the app's ownership issues are resolved. A decision is expected by December 6.TikTok faces crucial court hearing that could decide fate in US | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Clara Wieck-Schumann. This week's closing theme honors the extraordinary Clara Schumann, one of the most influential figures in the world of 19th-century classical music, born on this day, September 13, in 1819. A virtuoso pianist, composer, and teacher, Clara Schumann's legacy extends far beyond her role as the wife of composer Robert Schumann. She was a musical prodigy who gave her first public concert at the age of nine, and over her long career, she toured extensively across Europe, earning widespread acclaim for her impeccable technique and profound musicality.Clara Schumann was also a gifted composer, though her work was often overshadowed by the social expectations of her time. One of her standout compositions is Scherzo No. 2 in C minor, Op. 14. Written in 1845, this piece exemplifies her command of the piano, featuring a powerful interplay of rhythmic vitality and lyrical expressiveness. The Scherzo No. 2 showcases Clara's deep understanding of Romantic aesthetics, with its dramatic contrasts and technical brilliance—a hallmark of her compositional style. The piece demands a high level of virtuosity, a reflection of her own skills as one of the greatest pianists of her era.Despite facing many personal challenges, including the early death of her husband and the pressure to provide for her family, Clara remained dedicated to her craft. She shaped the landscape of European concert life, championing the works of Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and other contemporary composers, while continuing to write and perform her own music.Clara Schumann's Scherzo No. 2 is a fitting tribute to her genius—its energetic and complex nature reflects her resilience and innovation in a time when female composers were seldom given their due recognition. As we listen to this remarkable piece, it's a reminder of her invaluable contributions to classical music, both as a composer and a performer, whose impact still resonates today. On her birthday, it's only right to celebrate Clara Schumann's enduring artistry and reflect on her place in music history. This is a public episode.

The FTC has concerns with user reviews. As consumers explore a vast global marketplace, they increasingly depend on product and service reviews to make informed decisions. There are widespread questions, however, whether these reviews can be manipulated or become misleading, including through non-disclosed paid endorsements and AI-generated fake entries.   To address both the importance of reviews and their integrity, the FTC is introducing new rules, which the FTC believes will enhance transparency and fairness in user reviews. Host Scott Loughlin, along with Hogan Lovells lawyers Lance Murashige and Harsimar Dhanoa, will explore how these regulations will impact ecommerce and create a new regulatory overhang for user reviews. This discussion will provide valuable insights into the impact of these changes on both businesses and consumers.

A new U.S. president will be inaugurated in less than five months. Polls show the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris to be very close, with potentially only a few swing states deciding the election. While energy policy may not be a deciding factor for many Americans in choosing who they will vote for, it is very important to power industry professionals. With that in mind, Mary Anne Sullivan, senior counsel with the law firm Hogan Lovells, and Megan Ridley-Kaye, a partner with Hogan Lovells, were interviewed as guests on The POWER Podcast to discuss how the candidates might differ in their areas of focus after the election. Among the most pronounced differences is the rhetoric the two might espouse. “A Trump administration, I think, would talk a lot more about energy security, energy independence, and the need to be friendly to American-made fossil fuels,” Sullivan said. “A Harris administration, I assume, will follow in the footsteps of the Biden administration and focus on the need to respond to climate change and build on what have truly been unprecedented accomplishments under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the IRA [Inflation Reduction Act],” she said. Although a Trump administration might seek to repeal all or at least parts of the IRA, Sullivan thought that would be hard to achieve. “I think recent indications are that it [the IRA] has now a fair bit of support in Congress,” she said. Ridley-Kaye agreed. “Obviously, key to what happens there [the fate of the IRA] is what happens in Congress,” she said. “It seems increasingly unlikely that it will be repealed.” And, while the government has made major investments that support energy and power projects, private parties have invested a lot of money too. At this point in the cycle, however, Ridley-Kaye suggested some of her clients are beginning to take a wait-and-see approach, especially if project economics are not viable without tax credits. Still, many other investors are unworried about the possibility of policy changes. “We do have a large group of clients that would say, ‘The train has left the station. Corporate America expects the tax credits. There's no way that they would be taken away,' ” Ridley-Kaye said. Meanwhile, there are some areas where the candidates may see eye to eye. “No matter which of them is elected, I think they will both recognize the need for more power transmission and more power generation,” said Sullivan. “Although the Biden administration has talked a good game about greening power generation, they have also very much pursued an all-of-the-above approach to generation resources. And I would expect that to continue in a Harris administration, just because there are so many new demands for electricity—the data centers, AI [artificial intelligence], vehicle electrification, the sort of ‘electrify everything' movement that some people talk about,” she said. Two other areas where Trump and Harris might support similar policies are on nuclear power, and carbon capture and storage. “The two administrations might have different motivations for pursuing that, but I think either one will support further technology development there,” Sullivan supposed. Sullivan would expect a more light-handed approach to regulation under a Trump administration, specifically, as applied to permitting energy infrastructure projects. “But that more light-handed regulation on permitting helps the carbon-free power projects as much as the carbon-intensive power projects. It cuts both ways,” she said. Depending on how the election plays out, the energy and power landscape could change very quickly. “Trump's team seems much more ready to move on policy than it did when he ran the last time. I think they're thinking about it in advance. They're building a desired set of policies,” Sullivan said. “I do expect them to be more ready to move on their policy objectives.”
