Good to talk to Dr Tarun Gupta in our latest CMO report

The Joint Spring Meeting of the GPSolo, Law Practice and Young Lawyers Divisions of the American Bar Association is perhaps the most collaborative and truly welcoming conference I’ve ever attended. #welcomehome #professionalism #lawyerlife

**Huge congrats to the amazing Shilpa Bhandarkar at Linklaters for election to the partnership. This is a massive win for ALL the legal innovation rockstars! ** Not only does this shatter the stereotype, but it proves that the expertise of non-dealmaking professionals is essential for innovation to thrive! For me, these are folks who don't just follow precedents, they CREATE unimaginable opportunities and carve unique paths with their knowledge and out-of-the-box thinking. Here's hoping more firms see the value and follow suit! We need more partners who bring not just rainmaking skills, but the brainpower and fresh ideas to truly excel! #nontransactionalpower #lawyerlife #equality #innovation

On being the D.E.I. (Diligence, Excellence & Imagination) hire with a spin and I am sold. John Leguizamo did an amazing job at explaining representation at this years Emmy's presentation and what it means to us, what it has evolved into and how we can further grow the representation within our fields. I have seen his "Latin History For Morons" show live and it was great too. He is a great example of resilience throughout his career and how to shift from what an industry thinks you "should" be or look like or sound like or what you "should" do into what your true calling and passion is. His insight, inspires me. Por ahora quiero ser el mejor ejemplo para las Latinas en cada industria que represento. https://lnkd.in/gvFqpGcF

So we finally have some regulation of the cask world! And it is from a REAL LIFE authority with teeth - the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). In short the ASA has issued an enforcement notice to whisky cask investment companies, demanding greater transparency in their advertising. This directive, effective from January 2, 2024, aims to ensure that consumers are not misled and are fully informed about the risks and details of such investments. The notice requires that advertisements must clearly disclose the risks involved in investing, including the potential for fluctuating values and the fact that returns are not guaranteed. It also mandates that ads must contain “material information” necessary for consumers to make informed decisions. This includes the unregulated status of whisky cask investments, the variability of investment values, and applicable fees and conditions. Where I think this gets very interesting is how this intersects with companies telling customers the actual nature of their ownership (i.e. securities rather than casks) as it could very easily be brought into this guidance. But I think there is more to come on this matter soon... https://lnkd.in/dNTRFraZ
