💡 Partners and ESG Risk and Investigations Co-Chairs Johnjerica Hodge and India W. recently provided their insights to Law360 on the importance of using racial equity and civil rights assessments to measure achievements and inform companies and their stakeholders’ goals. Third-Party Reviews: India Williams emphasized the critical role of having an external law firm or consultant conduct these reviews. “You’re often able to have more fulsome conversations with an outsider, as opposed to someone from the company,” she noted. Additionally, using outside counsel offers further advantages, including the benefit of attorney-client privilege during the remediation process. Engaging Mid-Level Management: Johnjerica Hodge highlighted the importance of engaging mid-level management during audits to obtain the most accurate information. “You really want to ensure that whatever that top-level message is, it’s actually cascaded down, particularly when it comes to middle management. These people have a huge impact on your workforce,” she stated. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ARK5Pe #RacialEquity #RacialEquityAudit #Equity #ESG

The Financial Markets and Funds team reviewed a significant recent decision by the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissing a proposed class action against Seeking Alpha, Inc., ruling that the financial content platform falls within the “publisher’s exclusion” from the definition of an investment adviser. 🔍 Key Takeaways: - Publisher's Exclusion: The court reaffirmed that Seeking Alpha's activities fall within the "publisher's exclusion," protecting non-personalized publishing activities from regulation as investment advisers. - General and Regular Circulation: The court clarified that financial publications do not need to adhere to a strict, predictable schedule to qualify for the exclusion, as long as they are advertised and sold in an open market and updated regularly. - Customization vs. Personalization: The decision distinguished between general content filtering and personalized investment advice, emphasizing that customizable features do not equate to individualized advice. 💡 This case emphasizes the importance of structuring services carefully to avoid crossing into regulated investment advisory activities.
