An article published by The American Lawyer highlighted the arrival of Joshua Fox in Boston and Stephen Osborn in San Francisco as Members in Mintz’s Corporate group.

The article noted that “Osborn and Fox are the latest hires in Mintz’s growing corporate practice, which also had two notable hires in March. The Boston-based firm is enjoying record revenue and profit highs after four straight years of growth.”

Mintz Of Counsel Michelle Capezza authored an article published by Confero titled "Conduct a Self-Audit to Avert ERISA Plan Fiduciary Liability". 

In an article published by Law360, Mintz Member Stephen J. Akerly commented on the legal landscape five years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Alice v. CLS Bank, which ruled that four patents directed to a computerized trading platform were invalid. As a result, hundreds of patents on software and other computer-related inventions have been invalidated, and it is difficult to obtain those kinds of patents in the first place.

“In five years, I’ve seen what I would consider one of the most dramatic effects of any decision or change in legislation as it relates to the patent system,” Mr. Akerly said.

Mintz corporate attorney Ben Stone discussed his career path and more on the podcast From the Dorm Room to the Board Room, which provides insights, tips and inspiration for college students and young professionals. The podcast is hosted by award-winning author and professor Andy Molinsky and is produced by Brandeis University’s International Business School. In addition, a short summary of Ben’s interview was published by Forbes.

Articles published by Law360 and Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly report on a class action lawsuit filed by Mintz, together with the ACLU of Massachusetts and the ACLU of New Hampshire, challenging the government’s practice of denying due process to detained immigrants.

In Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, Member and Chair of Mintz’s Pro Bono Committee Susan Finegan and Member and Founding Chair of Mintz’s Immigration Practice Susan Cohen discuss the purpose of the lawsuit and the legal challenges facing detained immigrants in Massachusetts and beyond.
