The Briefing: NBA Teams Fight Back Against Trolling – The Validity of the Discovery Rule at Stake

NBA teams like the Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets are even weighing in, worried that social media posts from years ago could be used as grounds for lawsuits. Scott Hervey and Tara Sattler dive into this game-changing copyright case in this installment of The Briefing.

Jeanne Vance for Law360: What Trump’s Order Means For The Legal Status Of IVF

In an article published by Law360 on March 18, 2025, Weintraub Shareholder Jeanne Vance discusses the implications of President Trump’s recent executive order relating to the costs and accessibility of in vitro fertilization (IVF.) While headlines about the order suggested protections for IVF, the executive order really signaled a policy intention of future action rather than binding legal change.

An Update on PAGA Reform from the Trenches – Finally, Some Relief for Employers from Meritless Claims

Last year, we reported on the reforms to the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) that Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law on July 1, 2024.  The reform legislation was pushed through to avoid a ballot vote on a measure seeking to repeal PAGA entirely in the 2024 election.  The legislation was aimed at providing some relief to employers from the flood of meritless PAGA claims and provide mechanisms for early resolution.  The legislation also gave the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) the resources and ability to expedite hiring and to fill vacancies in the CA Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) which is the division responsible for PAGA administration and oversight. While the reforms did not appear deter the “serial filer” firms from filing a record number of cases (9,463 PAGA notices were filed in calendar year 2024 – a jump from 8,100 the prior year), we are extremely pleased to report that the LWDA and its new hires, have begun taking a much more active role in these cases at an early stage and cracking down on the worst abusers of the PAGA statutes.

WT Wins: Weintraub Demonstrates Strength of Real-Property and Appellate Practices in Recent Wins – Both Reversing and Affirming Summary Judgements

Weintraub Tobin Appellate Law Specialist Brendan J. Begley and attorney Louis A. Gonzales, Jr., both shareholders in Weintraub’s Litigation group, successfully convinced the same panel of the California Court of Appeal 1) to reverse a summary judgment granted by one trial court judge against their client in an easement case and, in a separate case, 2) to affirm a summary judgment granted by that same superior court judge in favor of a different client in a case concerning a commercial real-estate lease. Louis offered sound real-property guidance in the first appeal and provided the winning elements in the second appeal to secure the underlying summary judgment. These two appellate cases not only highlight the strength of our appellate practice, led by Brendan, but also our litigation and real-property practice.

Corporate Transparency Act Update: Treasury Department Suspends Enforcement of CTA for U.S. Companies and Announces Upcoming Rule Changes

On March 2, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced a major shift in its approach to the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”). The Treasury Department stated that it will not enforce any penalties or fines related to the CTA’s reporting requirements against U.S. citizens, domestic reporting companies, or their beneficial owners, both under the current deadlines and after forthcoming rule changes take effect. Additionally, the Treasury Department has indicated that it plans to issue a proposed rule that would limit the CTA’s reach to foreign reporting companies only. At this stage, however, no formal rule change has been enacted which means that the original compliance dates and penalties are still current law.
