Certain California businesses handling high revenue or large volumes of sensitive personal data will soon be required to conduct and document annual cybersecurity audits across 18 technical and organizational areas. Audits can be performed by independent internal or external auditors, with prior audits eligible for reuse if they meet new standards. The California Privacy Protection Agency unanimously approved these new requirements in July 2025, and they are pending final review. Peter Blenkinsop, Reed Abrahamson, Doriann H. Cain, Simonne Brousseau and Charles Westerhaus explain how businesses should prepare for substantial compliance obligations under the updated California Consumer Privacy Act regulations.
Minnesota’s updated trusts and estates law allows settlors to use dynasty trusts to control family wealth long-term and maximize federal transfer tax exemptions, joining most other states in this approach. The new law also clarifies that any power to amend a trust must be explicitly granted in the trust instrument, rather than relying on a power of attorney. Dan Donovan, Elle Ottaviani and Alex Keil explain the ins and outs of the new law.
ERISA contains an exclusive civil enforcement provision that sets forth the only claims and forms of relief available to ERISA plaintiffs. One of those claims is under ERISA § 502(a)(3), which authorizes a claim for appropriate “equitable relief” to remedy a violation of ERISA or an ERISA plan. ERISA does not define “equitable relief,” and that phrase can have different meanings depending on the context. In this "Spotlight on Benefits" blog post, Rick Pearl, Stephanie Gutwein, Paige Haller and Molly Nelson-Regan discuss the nature of equitable relief under ERISA and another circuit court decision rejecting surcharge as an available equitable remedy.
