What CLOs Want CIOs to Know About Digital Risk

Modern chief legal officers are responsible for navigating an intricate regulatory landscape, geopolitical uncertainties and rapid technological advancements, all while fielding a range of legal issues, including a growing volume of complex litigation and investigations and data challenges.

When Threats Become Opportunities: Assessing Risk to Derive Value from Contracts

Many businesses lack a clear set of defined guidelines for contracting teams and business leaders to follow during contract negotiations. This often results in organizations becoming obligated under contract terms that raise undue risk or are misaligned with the business’s needs. When this happens, the potential fallout can remain out of sight and out of mind for months or years. That is, until an event arises, such as a disruption in the supply chain, blocked strategic transaction, data breach or regulatory investigation, that exposes issues within the contract portfolio.

The Impact of the GENIUS Act on Businesses and Banks

The GENIUS Act, which was signed into law in July, aims to modernize financial systems with programmable, blockchain-based stablecoins. Supporters of the bill aim to preserve the strength of U.S. currency in the digital economy through regulated stablecoins that must be backed one to one by U.S. dollar. The Act is expected to transform broader financial infrastructure through empowering large companies to become pseudo-banks and pushing traditional banks to evolve their offerings to support small to medium-sized companies. There is opportunity to modernize payment systems and incentivize businesses and banks to improve competitive position on the blockchain.

Turning Whistleblower Risk into Compliance Readiness

Whistleblowers have become a highly effective trigger for regulatory scrutiny, and their role is growing.

Jurisdiction Without Borders: How Online Data Collection Can Lead to Litigation Anywhere

In May 2025, a major federal appellate court ruling redefined how courts analyze jurisdiction in the digital economy, giving businesses a new lens through which to view potential legal exposure across jurisdictions. The decision suggests that online tracking, data collection and embedded technologies, even without physical presence, may now be sufficient for courts to assert personal jurisdiction over out-of-state companies based solely on their digital activity.

Technology change management has become a vital — and increasingly difficult — element of managing cloud collaboration platforms.
