Nabbed Two Big Wins for Motorola in Billion-Dollar Suits Over Cell Phone Safety

Secured two big wins for Motorola Mobility in two long-running litigations challenging the safety of cellular phones, for which Am Law recognized lead attorney Terry Dee as Litigator of the Week. Seeking billions of dollars in damages, plaintiffs sued Motorola and more than 20 other defendants, alleging that cell phone use causes brain cancer. In April 2023, the Western District of Louisiana held that federal preemption barred much of plaintiffs’ claims. Less than a week later, a D.C. Superior Court excluded all plaintiffs’ general-causation experts, impacting more than 80 pending cases. Together, these two decisions are a severe blow to the plaintiffs’ efforts to challenge the safety of products that drive the US$400+B global cellular telephone market....Read more

Debanking Developments: U.S. Senator Introduces Debanking Bill

Winston’s Financial Services Industry Group is closely monitoring debanking regulations and advising global financial institutions on customer onboarding and due diligence.

In this alert, Jack Knight, Carl Fornaris, Patrick Doerr, and Arman Aboutorabi examine Senator Thom Tillis’s (R-NC) proposed Ensuring Fair Access to Banking Act. Although the bill is nominally designed to “limit the circumstances under which a Federal financial regulator may require a financial institution to terminate a specific account,” it in fact proposes much more.

Senator Thom Tillis’s discussion draft of the Ensuring Fair Access to Banking Act would create a single federal “fair access” standard prohibiting “debanking” except in defined circumstances, grant enforcement authority to federal and state regulators, and preempt state fair-access laws. These changes could impact account-opening, maintenance, and exit decisions and increase litigation exposure. Read the full alert for key implications, open questions, and practical steps institutions can take now.
