A shift in federal artificial intelligence (AI) policy redefines how regulators approach innovation and enforcement. In this episode of "Clearly Conspicuous," consumer protection attorney Anthony DiResta examines how the Trump Administration's executive order on artificial intelligence and "America's AI Action Plan" have influenced the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) current approach to AI regulation. Mr. DiResta highlights the FTC's decision to set aside its order against Rytr LLC as a key example of the agency's move away from abstract theories that may burden AI innovation while continuing to pursue companies that allegedly make deceptive claims about AI products, performance and capabilities.

Cyber incidents can derail deals, expose sensitive data and create significant legal risk long before a transaction reaches the finish line. Real estate attorney Kyla Baker joins data privacy and cybersecurity attorneys Matthew Welling and Neda Shaheen to examine why real estate companies and automotive dealerships remain prime targets for cyber threats and how organizations can prepare for and respond to incidents. Drawing on their experience advising clients through cyber events, they walk through the life cycle of an incident, the importance of practical response planning and tabletop exercises, and the critical role lawyers play in helping organizations manage risk before and after an attack.

As demand for aesthetic services continues to rise, medical spas face growing scrutiny over patient safety, clinical oversight and regulatory compliance. In this episode of "Counsel That Cares," host Morgan Ribeiro speaks with healthcare attorneys Brett Elliott and Kim Rai, as well as New U Women's Clinic & Aesthetics Founder and CEO Rachel Fidino, ARNP, DNP, about the rapid expansion of the medical spa industry and the legal and operational challenges accompanying that growth. Bringing both legal and clinical perspectives, the speakers examine how scope-of-practice laws, supervision requirements and enforcement trends are shaping the industry while highlighting why strong compliance programs, active clinical leadership and accountability remain essential for managing risk, protecting patients and supporting sustainable growth.

The best compliance strategy is not waiting for enforcement to arrive; it's preparing for it before regulators ask questions. In this episode of "Clearly Conspicuous," Anthony DiResta interviews his colleague Benjamin Genn of Holland & Knight's Consumer Protection Defense and Compliance Team about the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) proposed personalized pricing policy statement and its potential impact on consumer-facing businesses. Mr. Genn explains the FTC's disclosure-based approach to personalized pricing (also known as surveillance pricing), outlines the deception and unfairness theories underlying the agency's enforcement framework, and distinguishes lawful dynamic pricing based on broader market conditions from the individualized pricing practices targeted by the government's proposed enforcement focus. He also highlights the practical steps companies should take now, including auditing pricing algorithms, evaluating data use disclosures and assessing risks tied to vulnerability-based pricing practices before the September 18, 2026, comment deadline.

The strongest defense when the government asks questions is knowing your answers beforehand. In this episode of "Clearly Conspicuous," Anthony DiResta interviews his colleague Benjamin Genn of the Firm's Consumer Protection Defense and Compliance Team about the increasing scrutiny of surveillance pricing and how it differs from lawful dynamic pricing. After explaining the distinction between these two pricing models, Mr. Genn highlights a major airline's response to a congressional inquiry regarding its use of artificial intelligence (AI) in flight pricing. When three senators demanded answers about the airline's plans to expand AI use in flight pricing, the airline addressed lawmakers' concerns by producing documentation showing its systems use aggregate demand signals rather than individualized personal data. This example underscores the importance of understanding and documenting pricing algorithms and loyalty program data flows before inquiries arise from Congress, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or state attorneys general.

A successful career in thoroughbred racing comes with risks whose effects can extend far beyond the finish line. On this episode of "The Tack Room," Holland & Knight Equine Industry Team Leader Kayla Pragid sits down with jockey Ramón Domínguez, a National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame inductee, and University of South Carolina Professor Gabrielle Kuenzli to examine jockey welfare, career transitions and the realities of life before and after racing. Drawing on Domínguez's journey from a young aspiring rider in Venezuela to one of racing's most accomplished jockeys, the conversation explores the financial uncertainty, injury risks and identity challenges many jockeys face throughout their careers. The guests also discuss the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, Jockeys' Guild Education Foundation and efforts to create educational opportunities that help riders prepare for life beyond the saddle, offering a thoughtful look at the people who power the sport and the support systems that sustain them on and off the track.

Healthcare organizations can no longer rely on paperwork alone to prove compliance: Regulators increasingly expect concrete proof that governance structures operate in practice as described in the abstract. In this episode of "Counsel That Cares," healthcare attorney Shalyn Watkins and Camino Strategy Group CEO Phoebe Gutierrez examine how California's Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) doctrine is shaping healthcare transactions, digital health platforms and investor-backed healthcare organizations. Using the recent Carbon Health settlement, ongoing litigation and broader enforcement trends as examples, they explain why regulators are looking beyond contract language to scrutinize operational decision-making, physician independence and management company control, while offering practical guidance for organizations seeking to structure and expand healthcare businesses in California's increasingly active regulatory environment.

Major real estate growth depends on more than new construction; it requires coordinated investment, governance and long-term planning. Land use and zoning attorney Leila Batties speaks with Emeka Moneme, president and CEO of the Navy Yard BID, about how the Business Improvement District (BID) helps shape one of Washington, D.C.,'s fastest-growing mixed-use neighborhoods. Mr. Moneme explains how the BID operates as a public-private partnership, highlights the role of infrastructure investments and sports venues in driving redevelopment, and discusses how zoning, housing policy and future waterfront improvements continue to position Navy Yard as a key engine of economic development.

Regulatory changes do not eliminate compliance risk. In this episode of "Clearly Conspicuous," consumer protection attorney Anthony DiResta interviews financial services regulatory attorney Dimitri Nionakis about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) final rule amending Regulation B under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), which pertains to disparate impact claims. Using a practical lending example, Mr. Nionakis explains how a facially neutral policy can create disparate impact concerns and emphasizes that banks and non-bank lenders still face exposure under the Fair Housing Act and state lending discrimination laws, even as the CFPB deprioritizes enforcement of Regulation B and pursuit of ECOA violators and executive orders portend broader policy priority shifts. He outlines why institutions should maintain existing compliance controls, review policies and procedures, train staff and continue auditing fair lending practices to mitigate liability potential.

Not every startup is built to become a unicorn, and forcing founders into that mold can undermine the business they are actually building. In this episode of "The Innovation Imperative," Patrick Driscoll and Partner Danielle Price sit down with Aurelia Edwards, co-founder and general partner of Edin Capital, to discuss her journey from founder and operator to emerging venture capital fund manager.

Ms. Edwards shares how her experience raising capital and building startups influenced Edin Capital's founder-first investment philosophy. She reflects on watching founders relocate to Miami in search of venture funding, only to feel pressure to reshape their businesses to fit a Silicon Valley venture capital model that did not align with their goals, markets or long-term potential. She also discusses the importance of understanding regional markets, supporting founders beyond capital and building investment strategies that generate both financial returns and community impact.
