Description

The victims of the catastrophic Surfside, Florida building collapse reached a $1 billion settlement this week with a slew of defendants, resolving what could have been a messy, emotionally charged dispute with unusual swiftness that left the judge overseeing the litigation speechless. On this week’s episode of Pro Say, Law360 senior reporter Carolina Bolado drops by to fill us in on the details of the extraordinary resolution and what happens next. Also this week, in light of the baby formula shortage that has swept across the country, we catch up on Abbott’s attempt to reopen its formula production plant and other moves the federal government is making to get shelves re-stocked. We also dive into a spot of intrigue out of London this week, as an English court rebuked a former Dechert lawyer who leaked damning information to the government and press about a mining company’s alleged corrupt activities. Finally, we end with a fun First Amendment story about a craft brewery’s right to put a tiny penis on its label.
