REAL TALK The Robins Kaplan Business Law Update
The Real Talk: Business Law Update is a newsletter designed to educate women in the legal and business communities about current events and pertinent topics affecting them on a daily basis, as well as to highlight the work of female business executives and attorneys.
Vol. 2 No. 1
Winter 2019
Welcome to the winter installment of Real Talk: The Robins Kaplan Business Law Update, a newsletter created by professional women for professional women. In this issue, we continue our interview series spotlighting the work, lives, career paths, and challenges facing high-level female executives today. We recently sat down with Lucy Fato, the Executive Vice President and General Counsel of American International Group, Inc., for a discussion of her philosophy on the importance of relationship-building to success, her career track, and the strength that comes from AIG’s diverse leadership structure. We next review a series of issues bearing on the intersection of technology, law, and business: how do robo-advisors measure up to their human counterparts in meeting their fiduciary obligations to clients; how can Tweeting about your company get you into trouble with the SEC; and how can you best be prepared to deal with social-media evidence in litigation?
Happy reading from the Robins Kaplan Women of Business Litigation!

Have you ever considered investing your money with a robot? A new category of investment advisers known as robo-advisors are automated, low-cost services that provide investment advice via web or mobile platforms. Unlike traditional investment advisors who provide value through human judgment, robo-advisors rely on computer algorithms to create diversified investment portfolios.
In general, the comprehensive and widely-used FRE 902 allows certain self-authenticating evidence to be admitted without extrinsic evidence of authenticity. Litigators rely on this rule for certain documents, such as public records, newspapers, and other uncontroversial documents.
On August 7, 2018, Tesla CEO Elon Musk used his personal Twitter account (@elonmusk) to propose a buyout of the company for $420 a share, stating that funding was secured. The price was perceived by most to be a marijuana reference. Nonetheless, Tesla shares ended the day with an 11% gain.
