Thank you to all who took part in The Paul, Weiss Center to Combat Hate Deposition Skills Workshop! Associates conducted mock depositions based on a real Paul, Weiss anti-hate case file, replicating a deposition environment with a court reporter, videographer and professional actors playing the deponents. Participants received invaluable guidance and individualized feedback from the firm’s partners, counsel and an external coach with decades of trial advocacy experience. It was inspiring to witness our associates’ growth, particularly in the anti-hate matter context. In addition to these matters being extremely rewarding and impactful, they provide associates with lead roles in depositions and other key “stand-up” litigation opportunities.

The Council of the European Union recently adopted the Forced Labour Regulation, which will prohibit products made with forced labor from being imported into, sold within and exported from the EU. Once it enters into force following its publication in the Official Journal of the EU, companies will have three years to ensure their products and supply chains are compliant. Noncompliant products will be blocked from entering the EU, while those already within the EU will have to be withdrawn, donated, recycled, or otherwise disposed of.
