Lara Shortz’s article, “Top 6 Legal Trends Facing Hoteliers in 2017,” was published in Hotel News Now on January 20, 2017.

From the article…

“It is safe to say that President Donald Trump has more knowledge of the hotel business and a greater stake in the hospitality industry than any president in United States history. This first-hand hotel experience, coupled with his pro-business rhetoric, anti-regulatory cabinet, a Republican Congress and a slew of upcoming appointments, likely means that 2017 will bring a substantial easing of the regulatory burden presently affecting hoteliers at the federal level.

But this comes with a big caveat. Activist state and local governments will likely want to fill in any perceived regulatory or enforcement vacuum with their own rules and create an increasingly patchwork set of regulations with which hoteliers must contend.”

Nicole Zayac’s and David Hauge’s article, “Uniformity Vs. Autonomy In Insurance Regulation: Part 1,” was published in Law360 on February 8, 2017.

From the article…

“In recent years, the pressure for uniformity of insurance regulation among the states has intensified, resulting in the weakening of Congress’s “hands off” tradition with respect to insurance regulation. Notably, the past few years have seen several insurance-related, legislative actions carried out on a federal level. In addition, there are increasing international pressures towards uniformity with respect to certain aspects of regulation in the United States.

At the same time, there have been innovations and growing political forces supporting the retention of state autonomy in insurance regulation. Both historic influences and new developments created a counter pressure to maintain the current system.”
