The real question isn't whether AI changes legal work. It's whether lawyers use this moment to finally define themselves by what only they can do.
A UK court just ruled: security duties don't disappear even if hackers can't read what they stole. The breach itself is the violation. Meanwhile, GDPR surged 220% in a single day. Privacy isn't a checkbox anymore. It's becoming infrastructure. https://t.co/uNnssaoO6P
"The National Labor Relations Board has approximately 17,000 open unfair labor practice investigations on hand, including almost 10,000 cases that have been pending review for more than six months" https://t.co/m5FQS4iHKl @robertiafolla
Looking to talk to more AI GRC platforms: 2 clients met with a vendor recently and were really impressed with the companies and space. Would love to meet some dope founders if anyone has recs
Antitrust experts don't see Paramount/WBD deal getting blocked by DOJ or abroad, but any lengthy probes abroad could buy state AGs time to assemble a lawsuit — Will they have a legit enough antitrust case to win in court? Uphill battle. @axios https://t.co/czZPajmweE
Things I Did Not Know About Versant, Chapter 1: 'Our use of the CNBC brand is subject to a trademark license agreement with Comcast that provides an initial term of five years, which may be extended'
"Prophylactic measures" are typically what boards use to defend against activists (e.g., poison pills, staggered boards, etc). With $MAPS I flipped the script. In the presence of controllers with misaligned incentives, I had to deploy prophylactic defenses to box the board...
The Trump Antitrust Division will likely not bring charges to block the Paramount-Warner merger. https://t.co/yh0yoJNUUF
By some reports, AI is saving lawyers nearly 240 hours a year on research and document review. That time has to go somewhere. The profession has spent decades defining itself by the work AI now does faster. Figuring out what...
1/8 Do you own your vibe-coded app or the art you generated using mid-journey? Short answer: No. I am not a lawyer, but this is my ai-assisted reading of the law. Here’s how U.S. copyright law is treating AI-generated works. Disclaimer: This...

I don’t need to hear this, but “put it in a trust” is not a tax strategy. It’s like saying “put it in a box.” What kind of box? Who controls the box? Who benefits from the box? That’s where the tax answer...

After Trump’s tariffs were ruled unlawful by the US Supreme Court, he is now dragging his feet and refusing to refund Americans who were illegally TAXED by tariffs. https://t.co/vlXQUbwjEo
Before AI, a junior associate might spend most of their week pulling clauses from old deals, reformatting templates, and chasing redlines across 14 email threads. Now that's a quick task. The question is now what they should be doing.
I’m sorry, I was cryptic with the tweet below at a time when y’all may need a laugh. As I read this, Meta is arguing in a court of law that its use of BitTorrent to transfer pirated works was...

For decades, the U.S. has welcomed foreign satellite operators into our market. But restrictions on U.S. operators in other countries have persisted. And now, new barriers are emerging that constrain U.S. businesses operating abroad, including in the draft E.U. Space...
Developing a new GRC platform and I made a mistake. I started with assessments. You should start with risk. Risk first. Then controls. Frameworks and assessments are just ways to organize risk. But this is easier said than done. Most organizations don't really know...
AI won't replace lawyers. But it did expose that a lot of what gets billed at $/hr was never really 'thinking.' It was formatting, copy-pasting, and researching things a machine now does in seconds. The real skill is in knowing...
As a taxpayer, I greatly appreciate the speed with which the CAFC handled this proceeding and rejected the administration's baseless stalling tactics. Every day that IEEPA tariff refunds aren't paid will cost American taxpayers millions.

Good time to file a Form D that you don't want seen, since the system has been returning "file not found" all day.
Friday, the Trump administration began stalling IEEPA tariff refunds in court. In a new @CatoInstitute blog post, we review US regs on customs duty refunds & find that IEEPA delays will cost taxpayers ~$700M/month (~$23M/day) in additional interest payments owed...
“All lawmakers will claim that they are [enacting age verification] to protect youth from some harm, but they fail to mention the convenient power it hands to government to control and chill speech they oppose, and even punish their critics,”...
David Ellison today: "As we've said, the HSR waiting period has expired. Obviously, domestically, which means that there is no reason if we had cleared globally why we couldn't close in the U.S. today legally."
SBA has joined American Tower and Crown Castle in filing suits against Dish Wireless over tower rental payments. EchoStar's 10-K shows that Dish faces similar suits from Comcast Business, Harmoni Towers, Diamond Towers & Zayo https://t.co/XNYmKyy2yp
A reminder that this admin is a package deal. Regulatory "tailoring," but also a bunch of new crypto, stablecoin, and ILC charters

Samsung India isn't allowing easy cancellation of Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-orders. There's no cancellation button on the order page. Pretty sure this amounts to "unfair trade practice" under the Consumer Protection Act, especially since the product hasn't shipped yet @SamsungIndia

Anyone going to tell him they all did this? “What's ironic, is that there has been no bigger thief of American's public identity information en masse or creators' works than by Anthropic (search for the lawsuits).”
Yet more SB 684-1123 projects starting entitlement in Sacramento. In this case, it's being uses to do the exact sort of thing intended by SB 9. Why did it work? Doesn't have the SB 9 owner-occupancy poison pill. https://t.co/mXfsiuKvEJ

The mass majority of physicians who are doing independent work think they should be an S-corp. The mass majority of physicians who are doing independent work should not be S-corps. #TaxTwitter
"What compliance requirements do articles cover for GDPR?" Same question. Three completely different answers depending on who's asking. An investor, an innovation leader, and a researcher walk into GDPR compliance. None of them see the same thing. Swipe for all three lenses. https://t.co/hh9Yl86EuO
