What a night! We were proud to host Women Leading Forward, bringing together clients, colleagues, and community leaders for an engaging and candid conversation on what leadership looks like in practice.

A special thank you to US Olympic Hockey Captain Hilary Knight and Massachusetts Governor Maura T. Healey for sharing perspectives grounded in real experience — from finding your leadership style to building trust with your team and showing up authentically, even in high-pressure moments.

A few themes resonated:

• Leadership is not one-size-fits-all; it requires understanding how different people are motivated and supported
• Progress often comes from stepping into discomfort and staying focused on something bigger than yourself
• Expanding opportunities for others — and bringing people along — is how lasting change happens

At Mintz, our Women’s Initiative is focused on creating space for meaningful dialogue and advancing inclusive leadership. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and made the evening so impactful.

When a crisis hits, the first few hours of response can define everything that follows.

In the latest episode of Mintz On Air: Practical Policies, host Jen Rubin and guest Marc Axelbaum break down what organizations should do in those critical early moments, when decisions need to be rapid but still thoughtful and well planned.

From determining who should lead an investigation to preserving attorney-client privilege and assembling the right internal and external teams, the discussion provides practical, actionable insights for managing high-stakes situations.

The episode also highlights common early missteps, from communications errors to failing to align press strategy, along with the importance of early planning, documentation decisions, and legal hold considerations. The episode concludes with a discussion of how managing a crisis with empathy can improve issue spotting as well as supporting the people charged with managing – or resolving – the crisis.

Relevant for in-house counsel, board members, and corporate leaders responsible for responding to risk, managing internal investigations, and protecting organizational credibility.

A recent win for companies using standard website technologies: a California court has issued a first-of-its-kind decision limiting the reach of the state’s Invasion of Privacy Act (C**A).

On May 27, 2026, the Los Angeles Superior Court dismissed, with prejudice, claims against our client, NetScout Systems, Inc., rejecting arguments that use of website software development kit (SDK) and data collection tools falls within the scope of C**A’s trap and trace or pen register provisions. In doing so, the court agreed with NetScout’s position that the statute was never intended to regulate routine internet activity, and instead only applies to telephone communications.

Why this matters:

This decision comes at a critical time, as companies face a growing wave of litigation targeting pixels, web beacons, SDKs, and other website technologies. It provides:

• Strong, persuasive authority to push back on similar claims
• A practical roadmap for defending against expansive interpretations of C**A
• A meaningful counter to efforts seeking to impose sweeping consent requirements on routine online data collection

The Mintz team included Co-chair of the Privacy & Cybersecurity Practice Scott Lashway; Special Counsel Matthew Stein; and Associate Nadia Zivkov, with strategic guidance from Of Counsel Mara O’Malley.

We spent time with founders, investors, and operators building the next generation of robotics companies, and gained valuable perspective on where the market is heading.

AI misuse in drug manufacturing has triggered its first warning letter, an early signal the FDA is scrutinizing how AI is being used by regulated entities. This is one of several developments highlighted in the latest FDA in Flux newsletter.

• Proof-of-concept “real-time clinical trials” are now underway, with sponsors submitting endpoint data through digital platforms. These pilots signal a shift toward AI-enabled trial models designed to compress development timelines and move toward more continuous approaches.

• Scrutiny of drug compounding continues to intensify, including a proposal to exclude certain GLP-1 active ingredients from the 503B ingredient list and upcoming advisory meetings to evaluate certain experimental peptides for use by 503A compounders. These developments reinforce the current legal framework and the importance of compliance across 503A and 503B compounders.

• FDA is asking stakeholders to help identify drugs for potential repurposing where scientific data exists creating potential opportunities in underserved and rare disease areas.

• A new citizen petition challenges FDA’s disclosure of complete response letters and highlights the potential risks to proprietary information and competitive positioning.
