On July 23, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security's (#BIS) new rule became effective, expanding the Export Administration Regulations’ (EAR) Foreign Direct Product rule for #Iran, and applicable #license requirements. As Associate Mamoun Mahayni and Partners Jane Luxton and Andrew Pidgirsky explain in a new #ClientAlert, this marks an additional attempt to curtail the use of U.S. – derived #technologies for #export, #reexport, and in-country #transfer to Iran, in response to fears that such technology may be used for weapons systems, including #drones, that could target U.S. interests and the interests of key U.S. allies.

The conflict over North Carolina’s different treatment of public and private high school #athletes regarding their ability to capitalize on Name, Image & Likeness (#NIL) rights has gone from a simmer to a boiling point very quickly with the recent filing of an action in state court. As Partner Gregg Clifton and Associate Haley Gorey detail in a new post to our #OfficialReview sports law blog, the suit - filed by a top high school football recruit - challenges the state's current prohibition on public school athletes participating in NIL activities, with the plaintiff noting that this ban is inconsistent with North Carolina private schools' policy of permitting such activities.

North Carolina is among the states at the forefront of the debate over name, image, and likeness (#NIL) rights for high school athletes, given the rift between its public and private high schools over NIL policies. As it stands, student-athletes at North Carolina’s public high schools cannot engage in NIL activities, while their private high school counterparts can, subject to limitations. In this new post on our #OfficialReview #sports law blog, Partner Gregg Clifton and Associate Haley Gorey explore the implications of this divide.
