This is no surprise, given how popular social media platforms have become; for example, Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, TikTok, WeChat, WhatsApp and YouTube have each surpassed one billion active monthly users, while other platforms such as Discord, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, Twitch and X (formerly Twitter) attract hundreds of millions of users each month. Brands need to be where their customers are, and those customers are on social media. The statistics are eye-popping[1]: Over five billion people, representing nearly 64% of the world’s population, use social media, with the average user accessing up to seven different platforms each month; Consumers spend on average two hours and 25 minutes a day on social media platforms; Over 98% of the Fortune 500 have an active social media presence; 77% of companies look to social media to reach customers; 76% of social media users have purchased a product or service after encountering it on a social media platformMoreover, generative AI and other emerging technologies are transforming how brands create and share content on social media. Nearly 40% of all social media marketing content is now produced with AI tools—a figure projected to reach just under 50% by 2026.[2]   Already, more than 70% of social media marketers have integrated AI into their strategies, leveraging it to accelerate content creation, personalize engagement, and experiment with new formats such as virtual influencers, conversational agents, and real-time adaptive campaigns.[3] And a large majority of such marketers are often finding AI-generated content to outperform non-AI content.[4]However, alongside the tremendous marketing potential of social media and generative AI comes a fast-evolving array of legal, business, and reputational risks. As brands increasingly embrace user-generated content, AI-driven content creation, influencer marketing, and social commerce, they face complex new challenges under copyright, defamation, contract, privacy, advertising, consumer protections laws, and AI-specific laws and regulations, both in the United States and abroad. This program will help you stay ahead of the curve by offering practical guidance for identifying, managing, and mitigating the growing legal hurdles relevant to today’s use of social media and AI in engaging customers and potential customers, promoting products and services, and raising brand awareness.

The Withdrawn Guidance proposed significant changes to the law related to spin-offs and reorganizations, provided strict and procedural requirements, and changed long-standing PLR positions. While the Withdrawn Guidance was a welcome development, it is uncertain how the IRS will administer the PLR program moving forward.For tax practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of planning and executing these important business transactions, PLI is delighted to present this program in which leading experts, including bankers and lawyers will review this guidance and discuss the implications for spin-offs that are currently being planned, and future transactions.  Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 450549 450549 257 G5177 0:00:00 https://www.pli.edu/programs/estate-planning-institute/chb/415302?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Estate planning Tax PLI’s 56th Annual Estate Planning Institute is considered essential legal training by those engaged in sophisticated estate and tax planning practice. Our faculty, led by Program Chair, Bernard A.

Compliance and ethics (“C&E”) programs are a necessary tool for managing the substantial risks that can be posed by employee and third-party misconduct, as well as assisting organizations in mitigating the harm from violations when they do occur. Companies with robust C&E programs minimize the likelihood of devastating criminal and regulatory actions — and also reap the rewards of employee loyalty and customer and shareholder trust.   At this unique Workshop, compliance officers and in-house and law firm attorneys working in the compliance field will learn about best C&E practices from the exceptional team of Rebecca Walker of Kaplan & Walker and Julian J. Moore of A&O Shearman. These remarkable Co-Chairs will be joined by a distinguished faculty drawn from prominent corporate organizations, influential law firms, and academia to provide you with the tools you need to enhance your program, protect your company and further your professional development.  Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 412846 412846 257 G3222 0:00:00 https://www.pli.edu/programs/fundamentals-of-patent-litigation/chb/442975?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Intellectual property Patents Litigation Patent litigation Technology The Supreme Court, the Federal Circuit, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) are constantly reshaping patent law, and the AI revolution is rapidly having an impact on every aspect of the practice of law.

As more states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws, the field continues to grow more complex and challenging. The advent of easy-to-use AI services and applications has further accelerated this trend. PLI’s acclaimed annual Advanced Data Privacy program will address the hottest trends, latest case law, and most importantly, strategy decisions that companies and their counsel need to know for 2026 to succeed in litigation – or avoid it entirely.This program will provide a detailed forensic tutorial – essential for litigators who want to practice in the field; and will cover major new case law developments and litigation trends from the past year in the law of data privacy, cybersecurity breach, class certification in data privacy, cybersecurity and TCPA class action suits and changes in strategic thinking over how to manage simultaneous putative class action suits and mass arbitrations; the unique litigation and class certification issues that arise when shareholders and institutional investors file suit; and an in-house counsel panel that will cover defending a company by partnering with outside counsel.Presented by some of the most creative and experienced plaintiffs’ counsel, defense litigators, and federal court judges, this program will feature a technology tutorial designed to identify the latest threats and challenges, an exhaustive year-in-review update on the latest cases, circuit splits and trends, plaintiffs’ perspectives on new frontiers in privacy/cybersecurity litigation, antitrust and securities fraud litigation, judicial and in-house panels to provide insights, perspectives and practice tips, and discussions of the latest class certification, motion practice and settlement trends, privilege issues, and techniques for valuing different types of cases.

The international tax rules affect not only large U.S. and non-U.S. based multinationals, but also mid-sized and smaller organizations and investors, financing transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and other commercial activity.  At this year’s program, we will assemble some of the world’s leading experts and senior government officials to discuss the complex rules of U.S. international taxation in light of recent legislative, regulatory, and other developments, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), Pillar Two and other OECD efforts. We will focus upon both operational and transactional implications of the changed rules and environment and describe the application of the rules to both U.S. and non-U.S. based organizations and investors.

But ultimately, the product’s value hinges on whether claims are paid and how efficiently those claims are resolved. We are pleased to once again offer this program to educate lawyers and M&A professionals on the scope of RWI and TRI products and their strategic applications in corporate transactions. This half-day event will cover: An overview of RWI and its strategic use in M&A and transactions The RWI claims process and insights from claims brought under RWI policies The current state of RWI claims, including common breaches and how insurers are responding Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 415294 415294 257 G4850 0:00:00 https://www.pli.edu/programs/ethics-for-government-lawyers/chb/442741?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Ethics and professional responsibility Government lawyers Public interest law and pro bono This interactive program will provide a unique opportunity to learn about the application of professional conduct rules to government lawyers.

Haggerty and Robin Panovka together with an exceptional faculty for our annual Real Estate M&A and REIT Transactions 2026 program.     Throughout 2025, professionals specializing in REITs encountered dynamic market conditions which shaped and challenged the legal landscape of high-stakes real estate M&A, ranging from the impact of interest rates, geo-political changes, tariffs, AI, data centers, energy consumption, changing office requirements, online commerce, autonomous cars and drones.  In addition, the debate over governance issues and changes in the SEC and IRS regulatory frameworks all contributed to a complex but vibrant deal environment.      Along with knowledge of both technical and practical matters, both flexibility and creativity are required to thrive in the field of M&A and REITs.  This year’s program will take an in-depth look at industry trends while reviewing current practice strategies to help you navigate the complex structures and legal framework for successful transaction and REIT governance.  Practising Law Institute 1177 Avenue of the Americas New York NY 10036 USA (800)260-4PLI info@pli.edu 442175 442175 257 G3205 0:00:00 https://www.pli.edu/programs/fundamentals-of-privacy-law/chb/415508?tCode=WTC5_RSS01 Cybersecurity and data protection Information privacy (Cybersecurity and data protection) It used to be that only “death and taxes” were inevitable, but for attorneys these days, add to that list, “Privacy.” This program will give general practitioners, litigators, corporate counsel, and transactional attorneys a solid grounding in how privacy rules intersect with other practice areas.

But misappropriation and claims of misappropriation can derail an organization’s business strategies—on both sides of the “v.” They can even lead to criminal exposure and liability for acts in the U.S. and abroad. Judgments on the scores of millions of dollars and even more are becoming increasingly common. So are appeals, reversals, and retrials. Obtaining value from trade secrets requires sharing them—always with employees, increasingly with customers or suppliers or collaborators who may become potential competitors, and often across borders. New technologies including generative and agentic AI can create trade secrets or destroy their value. The creators of AI platforms and datasets have their own trade secrets to protect. Some techniques for protecting trade secrets, especially noncompete agreements, are under growing substantial ongoing debate domestically. New techniques for managing and obtaining value from trade secrets are being developed globally.

Practitioners and industry participants are left to guess at what the new regulatory landscape means in terms of practical compliance considerations, and our program is designed to shed light on this important topic.The volume of private litigation, particularly focused on deposit account issues, credit reporting, debt collection, and data privacy and security also remains high, with evolving changes based on recent jurisprudence, including from the Supreme Court. And there are several cases that the Supreme Court is poised to decide that may have significant implications for consumer finance law, and this program will discuss the fallout from those decisions.This popular 1.5-day event brings together faculty representing a wide range of perspectives ranging from federal and state regulatory and enforcement agency representatives to experienced plaintiffs', defense, in house counsel and consumer advocates who will bring you up to speed on what they are focusing on now and the areas in which the risk of private litigation, including mass arbitrations, and class actions, remains high. They will focus on how the complex network of federal and state laws applies to the broad range of consumer financial services, including credit products, deposit accounts, payments, and consumer reporting and consumer data. Join us and our esteemed faculty for an insightful review of the most current financial services issues.This event is the second of three complementary events PLI is offering in 2025, all of which are suitable for attendees at all levels. Consumer Financial Services Fundamentals 2025 provides an introduction to the series and is currently available on demand at www.pli.edu, and Consumer Financial Services 2025: Highlights will take place via Live Webcast on December 9, 2025. We hope you will attend all three!

So, too, are frequent claims involving disabilities and failure to accommodate. This program brings together a representative of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, prominent practitioners from the employee rights and management bars, psychologists, and a former federal magistrate judge to address the creation and litigation of today’s employment law claims. They will identify key legal issues and ways in which psychological factors influence the employees, managers and employers engaged in conflict. Speakers will transcend jargon, identify practical ways of working together, and describe effective strategies to avoid, pursue and resolve litigation.  Additionally, this program will focus on the current status of DEI and elimination of bias programs in the legal profession. Given the stress inherent in many legal practices, this program will focus on the challenges facing attorneys who are neurodivergent or experiencing secondary trauma or a mental disability and the resources available to them.   Employment lawyers often work with mental health professionals, sometimes aligned and at other times adverse. Our legal and psychiatric experts will also consider the ethical and professional responsibilities of attorneys and mental health professionals (forensic and treating) when they are involved in employment litigation.

This legal complexity applies more than ever to the interaction between AI and legal obligations related to privacy, security, and global data flows. Businesses cannot effectively compete in today’s marketplace without leveraging AI. Yet, new legislative proposals seek to rein in perceived AI risks via new privacy laws. Are new privacy laws the right approach? Should we look to enact new specialized AI laws? And what steps can companies take now to mitigate the broader legal and societal risks posed by AI? What role can algorithmic impact assessments, transparency in algorithmic decision-making, stakeholder involvement, algorithmic destruction, and other programmatic frameworks play in the ultimate solution?  In the last few years, we have seen a surge of legislative proposals, regulatory frameworks, and reform initiatives as policymakers around the world grapple with how to regulate AI. The European Union remains in the lead, again, with the Artificial Intelligence Act, which, taken together with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), currently offers the most robust legal framework to balance AI and privacy thus far. The AI Act creates three categories of risk (unacceptable, high, and limited), which it uses to either ban or restrict proportionate to the risk category. GDPR provides individuals with a right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, obtain human intervention, and contest that decision. Finally, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives consumers the right to opt-out of automated decision making, to learn about the algorithmic logic, and know about the likely outcome.In the midst of this transformational landscape, and to complicate an already complex area, companies are dealing with a spike in AI-aided cybersecurity disruptions, deep fakes, and sophisticated ransomware attacks. Those concerns are more pronounced in an increasingly volatile political and economic environment.This program – now in its tenth year – brings together individuals charged with formulating their organization’s global AI and data privacy governance strategy. It is for those of you who must implement responsible AI frameworks, in the context of prolific global privacy laws, to determine the right approach for your organization. What are the practical implications of your chosen approach? What are the risks? And how do you exploit the opportunities with generative AI to you advantage? This program is for privacy and data governance practitioners within every organization – legal, compliance, IT security, and audit – hoping to gain insights and practical information about the ongoing conversation surrounding the global regulatory landscape on data in an AI world.

Bad data cripples AI. The business of data presents new legal risks and opportunities. As companies harness the power of data, they must rethink traditional approaches to managing and safeguarding data, recognizing the unique legal and operational challenges it presents. AI and data vendors introduce additional layers of complexity, especially as we enter the next phase of Generative AI—where data is used to fine-tune Large Language Models for solving company-specific challenges, and AI itself is leveraged to address data-related issues. Understanding how data flows, its use cases, how it is licensed and commercialized and the associated legal risks and business opportunities is now mission critical.Through a real-world case study, this program will guide you through the full data lifecycle, unpack key legal considerations in AI and data governance, and provide practical strategies for mitigating risk and maximizing value.

State legislatures and Washington, D.C. are increasingly limiting their use. Some, like Minnesota in 2023, have banned noncompetes entirely, while others, like Washington have tightened restrictions on not just noncompetes, but on a broad range of restrictive covenants. And, while the federal government recently attempted multiple forays into this historically state law issue, those efforts have largely stalled, though they will continue with aggressive individual lawsuits.Imagine that one of your client’s key employees just left for a competitor in violation of a noncompete. Or your client is that competitor and has received a cease and desist letter demanding that it fire the employee. Or your client is that employee. Or maybe it’s not just one key employee, but a group of employees in a mass lift-out. What do you do?Noncompete agreements and similar restrictive covenants are critical tools for protecting trade secrets, customer relationships, and other recognized legitimate business interests. But the legal landscape varies dramatically from state to state, ranging from bans in California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma to strong, pro-enforcement policies in Florida. And, while public sentiment, evolving state legislation, potential federal initiatives, and trends in judicial review and enforcement are increasingly restricting the use of these agreements, the risks posed by employees who are not subject to restrictive covenants continue to grow.How can your clients stay ahead of evolving restrictions and continue to protect themselves?

We’ll cover the challenges blockchains pose to laws and regulations premised on pre-existing “networks” that are governed and regulated by a central authority. Such networks — defined broadly as any group of interconnected people or things — include, but are not limited to, legal-political jurisdictions like a democratic republic, as well as our current “traditional” financial system (aka “TradFi”). Unlike decentralized, transparent, immutable and permissionless blockchain networks, the central governments that gatekeep access to TradFi networks have explicitly conditioned the permission to access those networks (and interact with other users of those networks) on their continued ability to coerce transparency from actors in those networks. This coerced transparency is in turn premised on the need to deter and ferret out potential criminal wrongdoing. It is achieved through individual compliance with mandatory disclosures about certain classes of transactions, the relinquishing of any right to anonymity and other privacy rights that bolster personal security, the acceptance of routine intrusions on the scope of one’s economic agency and autonomy, and even the abdication of certain fundamental constitutional rights (including the right to free speech, among others) — even in the absence of any actual wrongdoing.  Many have alleged that centralized control over TradFi networks in the US have been “weaponized” to debank and demonetize disfavored but ultimately still legal commercial interests — especially Web3 (or “crypto”) businesses, but also cannabis businesses and adult content producers. This weaponization is often carried out by repeating false and exaggerated narratives about the facilitation or co-incidence of illegal trafficking in dangerous drugs, child sex trafficking, terrorist finance and money laundering to vilify blockchain networks. These narratives can obscure the benefits of blockchain networks to individual freedom and self-governing societies when compared to the trade-offs of accepting governance by trusted central authorities. We’ll discuss both the efforts to weaponize central control of the TradFi networks, and the veracity of the narratives they leverage.Finally, we will discuss the incredible potential of Web3 to vastly expand the scope of commercial and non-commercial agreements, transform the governance of human interactions and relationships, and revolutionize criminal justice reform and law enforcement. Join us for this fast-paced multidisciplinary exploration of (i) the boundaries of federal law enforcement authority, individual liberty, privacy, bodily autonomy, economic agency, property rights, and the freedom of contract under current U.S. federal and state laws, and (ii) how those boundaries will be expanded and reshaped by the types of interpersonal interactions, commercial transactions, and social organization that Web3 now enables.
