HSE data repeatedly show the same patterns. Slips and trips on level ground, manual handling strains, falls from height, and road traffic collisions account for most non-fatal injuries. Beacon Law Solicitors have highlighted that in the 2022-23 reporting year, slips and trips made up roughly a third of employer-reported injuries, with handling and lifting close behind. Those are not anecdotes - they reflect the systems that failed in the real world.

Cravath was one of the first longtime holdouts to cut bait and create a "salaried partner tier" (i.e., nonequity partners) back in November 2023.

Many of those developments will continue to affect SALT in 2026 as we see renewed challenges to Public Law 86-272, a federal law that prohibits states from imposing income taxes on out-of-state businesses that only solicit sales of tangible personal property in the state.

India's top court has ruled against Tiger Global in a tax case stemming from its Flipkart exit during Walmart's 2018 takeover, a decision that strengthens New Delhi's ability to challenge offshore treaty structures and could raise tax risk for global funds counting on predictable exits from one of the world's fastest-growing major markets. On Thursday, the Indian Supreme Court backed the tax authorities in a dispute over whether Tiger Global could use its Mauritius-based entities to claim protection under the India-Mauritius tax treaty
With the Supreme Court potentially poised to invalidate recent tariffs, organizations face a confusing scenario: the possibility of some $200B in refunds to be sought, the specter of tariff reinstatement through other means, and general ongoing unpredictability regarding costs and processes for global trade. Having clear visibility into contract terms - such as price adjustments and renegotiation provisions - is essential to navigating this volatility, while implementing favorable terms in supplier, customer, and partner agreements can help build resilience.

I want him to get the most robust defense that he possibly can get. I know he will, in the hands of the public defender's office, said Jackson. There's very little in the law that's indefensible.

Jackson said his line of work, which has included clients such as Karen Read, Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, is defending an idea.

A majority of justices say this 16-judge court likely has jurisdiction over lawsuits regarding thousands of National Institutes of Health federal research grants that the Trump administration has tried to terminate, as well as other fights concerning canceled grants. If the Supreme Court sticks by its current thinking in final rulings, the Court of Federal Claims could be handling fights over countless grants that the Trump administration and future higher ed-targeting presidencies may try to cancel in the future.

U.S. District Judge Megan Garnett pointed out that the government didn't rely on the journal's contents in order to get the search warrant that did allow a full examination of Mangione's backpack. But defense attorney Jacob Kaplan said the order of events was important:
