Chinese tech juggernaut Huawei has turned to two U.S. law firms with ties to the Trump administration, Jones Day and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, in the federal lawsuit filed in Texas against the government and several Trump cabinet members. The company named six cabinet secretaries and the General Services Administration as defendants in its 55-page complaint in federal court in Sherman, Texas. The suit challenges the constitutionality of a section of the 2018 law funding the Defense Department and precluding U.S. government agencies from purchasing good and services from Huawei. The company also retained Siebman Forrest, Burg & Smith as local counsel. The law firm has offices in Sherman and four other Texas cities. Huawei is seeking a declaratory judgment that Section 889 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act deprives the company of its due process rights and runs astray of several other constitutional provisions. “In short, section 889 … [Read more...] about Texas Hosts Huawei Challenge to US Defense Law With Jones Day, Morgan Lewis Teams

Former Olympic wrestler, coach Pat Lovell dies at 81

A date for his memorial hasn’t yet been set. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Joy; son, Bobby; and two daughters, Sarah and Allison, the latter of whom is a swim coach at … [Read more...] about Former Olympic wrestler, coach Pat Lovell dies at 81
Why You Should Take a Vacation From Your Phone. And Why You Probably Won’t.
On a three-week family vacation to Greece and Croatia, Andrew Giacomini left his phone in his room to disconnect from his litigation practice. Although Giacomini, the managing partner at Hanson Bridgett in San Francisco, checked emails, his colleagues probably didn’t know—because Giacomini never responded. He billed zero hours during his 21-day trip and focused on recharging. “I have the philosophy: Balanced lawyers give balanced advice,” Giacomini said. “You’re not going to be offering the best advice to your clients with burned-out lawyers.” Giacomini’s strategy is part of wider recognition within the legal profession that true downtime for lawyers is crucial. With mental health problems and addiction percentages higher among lawyers compared with other professions, some firms are acknowledging that lawyers truly need to detach from the office to recharge. “If you’re continuing to do work, the opportunity to de-stress … [Read more...] about Why You Should Take a Vacation From Your Phone.
