Mintz Member Jennifer B. Rubin was quoted extensively in an article published by Law360’s Employment Authority detailing what employers should know about trying to manage partially vaccinated workforces following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s recent guidance suggesting that most fully vaccinated individuals may discontinue certain safety measures, such as masking and social distancing. Throughout the article, Ms. Rubin offered considerations for employers verifying vaccination status including utilizing trained professionals, planning for proof of vaccination in lieu of CDC cards, and mitigating the high risk of bullying created by dividing the workplace into two populations.

Mintz Associate, Tim McKeon, wrote an article for the American Bankruptcy Institute about the decision of the the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit squarely rejecting the view that “triangular setoffs” fall within the protective circle of § 553 of the Bankruptcy Code.

In an article published by Managing IP, Mintz Member Marguerite McConihe was quoted on the Department of Justice’s recent decision to move a 2020 letter to the competition section of its website and what it may signal for standard essential patent policy under the Biden administration. Ms. McConihe stated that it’s too soon to tell whether the move is a clear sign of where the Biden administration is going and added that the pending appointment of the Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust will be a better indicator of the administration’s position.
