We have prepared a summary of the 11th Circuit's recent ruling regarding the use of race in public and private contracting. Philanthropists are watching this case closely because of its potential implications for race-focused grantmaking. #philanthropy #nonprofit #familyoffice #grantmaking #fearlessfund
In Patterson Belknap’s latest client alert, members of the firm’s Employment Law and Tax-Exempt Organizations practices review a recent Eleventh Circuit ruling finding that an Atlanta hedge fund likely violated the federal prohibition on racial discrimination in public and private contracting. The decision will put newfound pressure on foundations, corporations, and other grantmakers that consider race in grantmaking and similar programs to meet DEI objectives.

Interesting thoughts on social media and products liability from my partner Thomas Kurland.
Law360 was kind enough to publish some thoughts that my Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP colleagues Newton Portorreal, Jr. and Joshua Goldman and I had about when social media becomes a "product" such that strict tort liability can attach.
Helpful guidance from my employee benefits and executive compensation colleagues.
