A 2015 McKinsey study found that companies reported higher profits when they had more women in leadership roles and on boards of directors, compared to companies with lower numbers of women in those positions.
Home-sharing services such as Airbnb and HomeAway have quickly become a popular part of the “sharing economy.”
As companies such as Google, Volvo and Tesla begin to ramp up their production of self-driving vehicles, the legal community braces for an influx of litigation concerning a variety of issues, including data privacy and copyright disputes.
Another case can be added to the growing list of decisions addressing computer hacking and coverage under an “Executive Protection” policy’s “Crime Coverage” section.
By virtue of their design, size, and flying capabilities, drones pose a unique threat to privacy that no other method of surveillance has ever been able to achieve. Such concerns are now being considered by the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, which, if held in the appellant’s favor, will dramatically alter the landscape as to who regulates drones and to what extent on key liability issues for this brand new technology.
