☆ US court orders law firm Covington to name some clients for SEC probe
  + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( Andrew Goudsward | Law Firm Clifford Chance Posts Increased Revenue | Stalled Profits | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
A spokesperson for Covington said the firm will "review the decision carefully and consider any next steps in consultation with our affected clients." Any final outcome could make it easier for the government to get information on law firm clients in the future, and law firms warn it could chill cooperation between the private sector and authorities investigating cyberattacks. The SEC had sought the names of all the nearly 300 companies affected, but Covington resisted identifying any clients. The agency said it needed the names to probe for securities law violations associated with the attack, arguing that Covington’s law firm status did not shield it from cooperating. Covington told the court a law firm’s clients are part of a “zone of privacy” protected by the U.S. Constitution and legal ethics rules.

☆ Meet Sandra Douglass Morgan, the only Black female president in the NFL: ‘This job is much bigger than me’

Growing up in Las Vegas, Sandra Douglass Morgan never dreamed about making history — she just wanted to make herself, and her parents, proud. But Douglass Morgan didn't need to eavesdrop to understand that she and her family would be treated unfairly because of the color of their skin. Douglass Morgan, now 44, made a promise to herself: No matter what she did, she would champion equity and respect. Months later — and after the abrupt departure of two presidents — Davis approached Douglass Morgan about the job. Douglass Morgan sought the counsel of friends and family, including her husband, Don Morgan, who played four years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals.

☆ ABA Passes Resolution Opposing Suspicious-Transaction Reporting Rule for Lawyers
  + stars: | 2023-02-07 | by ( Dylan Tokar | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +5 min
The association also is considering changes to its professional conduct rules around the vetting of clients. The ABA’s rules for professional conduct are typically used as a basis for the rules enforced by state courts, which serve as primary regulators of the legal trade. Under current rules, lawyers have an ethical obligation to keep confidential all information relating to the representation of their clients. Requiring lawyers to report suspicious transactions by their clients also could undermine attorney-client privilege, the group argued in their resolution. Those committees are expected to file a resolution at the annual meeting of the ABA’s policy arm later this year.
☆ SEC Seeks Names of Public Companies Affected by Email Hack on Law Firm

WASHINGTON—Regulators asked a federal court to require Covington & Burling LLP to hand over information about a 2020 breach of the law firm’s email systems that could have been used to facilitate illicit trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission said in its request for a court order that Covington was hacked in November 2020 by a group known as Hafnium responsible for a number of attacks on Microsoft Corp. software. Microsoft has said that group is a state-sponsored Chinese outfit that targeted vulnerabilities in versions of Exchange Server, an email and calendar application, that run on computer systems in physical offices.

Providing ExemptionsAnother key issue addressed by FinCEN’s rule relates to which companies will have to submit beneficial ownership information. Lawmakers reasoned that ownership information for such companies already would be readily available, but the large carve-outs have sparked questions from some quarters. They will be given 30 days to report beneficial ownership information. The road aheadFinCEN’s work establishing the beneficial ownership database is far from done. The beneficial ownership law requires companies to certify their reports are accurate and imposes penalties for people who willfully provide false information.
