The legislation mandates full rebate pass-through, requires flat, fair-market-value service fees instead of price-linked compensation, and expands federal oversight of PBM arrangements. It also imposes robust new reporting and disclosure obligations, giving regulators, plan sponsors, and stakeholders greater visibility into drug pricing and PBM revenue streams. Readers will gain a clear understanding of how these changes impact pharmaceutical manufacturers, including implications for market access strategies, government price reporting, and upcoming regulatory developments.</description><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{2D83C355-7CC0-4886-A075-EFAB12AF76E4}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/04/sec-enforcement-fy2025-results-signal-shift-in-priorities-in-direct-critique-of-prior-administration</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>SEC Enforcement FY2025 Results Signal Shift in Priorities in Direct Critique of Prior Administration</title><description /><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{222D4300-B031-4207-8FB4-E94EA66EF1C4}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/04/chambers-2026-global-practice-guide-for-cybersecurity</link><category>Publications</category><title>Chambers 2026 Global Practice Guide for Cybersecurity</title><description /><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{454AD7BB-85C1-42DB-A4B9-05C7C7788B51}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/04/uk-quarterly-employment-update-april-2026</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>UK Quarterly Employment Update (April 2026)</title><description /><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{29DB0EEA-E799-4C9F-83C2-EE1DF206D9C1}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/04/five-key-takeaways-from-2025-us-sanctions-enforcement</link><category>Publications</category><title>Five Key Takeaways from 2025 U.S. Sanctions Enforcement</title><description>This article examines key enforcement trends from the U.S. Department of the Treasury&amp;rsquo;s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in 2025 and what they signal for sanctions compliance.

What was once treated as a niche concern, or a reactive exercise, is now in-creasingly viewed as a standing crisis management practice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This shift reflects a broader change in activism itself. Activists are more prevalent, and the pressure they exert is not limited to the merits of their thesis. A cam-paign can consume board and management time, often when the company is least well-positioned to absorb the distraction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Preparedness now means ensuring the company is well-positioned strategically, operationally, financially, and tactically to engage on the merits without being pushed into decisions solely dictated by the activist's leverage.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{4B05D6ED-856A-425B-973A-7700BE9835F8}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/03/the-end-of-ppm-1-and-the-emergence-of-a-more-durable-model-for-investors</link><category>Publications</category><title>The End of PPM 1.0: And the Emergence of a More Durable Model for Investors</title><description>Shifting market conditions have reshaped the physician practice management (PPM) model for healthcare investors. In this article, Katherine Gibson, David Klein, MD, and Paulina Toutounji of Marwood Group, together with Sidley's Chad Ehrenkranz, examine how rising interest rates, reimbursement pressure, and regulatory scrutiny have exposed structural weaknesses in traditional PPM strategies and outline the transition to a more resilient framework.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first generation of PPM relied on rapid consolidation, leverage, and multiple expansion, but proved vulnerable to operational, financial, and physician alignment challenges&amp;mdash;many of which were amplified during and after COVID-19. In response, a &amp;ldquo;PPM 2.0&amp;rdquo; model is emerging, focused on integration, reimbursement strategy, and long-term physician engagement. As regulatory oversight intensifies and capital markets evolve, the authors highlight how durable value creation will depend on disciplined growth, operational sophistication, and alignment across stakeholders.&lt;br /&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{02C5B41E-AC61-4A51-87FD-F1404BFC7E52}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/events/2026/03/2026-global-leadership-reception-cybersecurity-privacy-and-national-security</link><category>Events</category><title>2026 Global Leadership Reception: Cybersecurity, Privacy, and National Security</title><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{B4E76C43-77EF-4B0A-826C-97C9DA3D3D5F}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/events/2026/03/sidley-partner-jess-cheng-to-speak-about-digital-assets-at-the-banking-institute</link><category>Events</category><title>Sidley Partner Jess Cheng to Speak About Digital Assets at The Banking Institute</title><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{A0D7C348-3531-4AA5-9051-82FFDB99C407}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/events/2026/02/adam-raviv-to-speak-at-outlook-for-automotive-industry-webcast</link><category>Events</category><title>Adam Raviv to Speak at Outlook for Automotive Industry Webcast</title><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{B1B1974B-0D3C-46DB-8F2B-430D7BFD65EA}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/03/anderson-v-intel-us-supreme-court-grants-certiorari-implications-for-erisa-excessive-fee-litigation</link><category>Publications</category><title>Anderson v.

The authors analyze the growing circuit split over whether plaintiffs must identify a &amp;ldquo;meaningful benchmark&amp;rdquo; to support allegations of imprudent investment decisions. They also explore how the Court&amp;rsquo;s ruling may clarify the role of comparator evidence, the treatment of alternative investment strategies, and the broader trajectory of ERISA litigation following recent Supreme Court decisions.

With spring and baseball opening day approaching, the panel heads to Birmingham, Alabama, a city and state without a major league baseball team, for its March hearing session. This month, the panel will consider four new MDL petitions, a slight decline from the five petitions it considered in January. This installment also examines recent developments in panel practice, specifically rule reform. Following the adoption of Rule 16.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, effective December 1, 2025, the panel has implemented several amendments to its own rules of procedure, which took effect February 19, 2026.</description><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{450A59A3-50D4-4CF3-B7D3-45062C9BE737}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/03/financial-covenants-in-private-credit-transactions</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>Financial Covenants in Private Credit Transactions</title><description /><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{D78C6E72-A992-4E7D-A1F7-BC268E37E8E6}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/03/sec-releases-landmark-interpretation-on-application-of-us-securities-laws-to-crypto-assets</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>SEC Releases Landmark Interpretation on Application of U.S. Securities Laws to Crypto Assets, in Coordination With CFTC</title><description /><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{A594B360-AF62-4CE4-94B0-32314D790056}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/03/fifth-circuit-holds-us-ftcs-inhouse-adjudication-of-deceptive-advertising-claim-unconstitutional</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>Fifth Circuit Holds U.S. FTC’s In-House Adjudication of Deceptive Advertising Claim Unconstitutional Under &lt;i&gt;Jarkesy&lt;/i&gt;</title><description /><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{5E2B0D2A-AEDC-400E-8F95-CC89C06252B1}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/03/march-antitrust-and-competition-bulletin</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>March Antitrust and Competition Bulletin: Top-of-Mind Global Antitrust Issues</title><description /><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{3DFD4939-541B-4CBC-87A7-8590E43AA0AF}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/03/securities-fraud-liability-ill-defined-seven-years-post-lorenzo</link><category>Publications</category><title>Securities Fraud Liability Ill-Defined Seven Years Post-Lorenzo</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Seven years after the Supreme Court&amp;rsquo;s decision in Lorenzo v. SEC, the scope of securities fraud scheme liability remains unsettled. The ruling expanded potential liability beyond those who &amp;ldquo;make&amp;rdquo; false statements to include individuals who disseminate or otherwise participate in fraudulent conduct. In its wake, plaintiffs have increasingly used scheme liability under Rule 10b-5(a) and (c) to pursue claims against a broader group of actors, particularly where traditional misrepresentation claims may be weaker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While courts generally agree on the basic elements of a scheme claim &amp;mdash;deceptive conduct, scienter, investor-focused fraud, and causation&amp;mdash; they continue to struggle with defining what qualifies as a &amp;ldquo;deceptive act.&amp;rdquo; Key questions remain unresolved, including whether misstatements alone are sufficient, what additional conduct crosses the line into fraud, and whether inaction can trigger liability. As courts reach differing conclusions, the boundaries of scheme liability remain ill-defined, and further litigation is likely to shape, and potentially expand, its scope.&lt;/p&gt;

However, in the past two years, Texas has emerged not only as a significant privacy regulator but also as an aggressive enforcer of its laws.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Texas has passed a comprehensive series of laws relating to consumer and children&amp;rsquo;s data privacy, artificial intelligence and data brokers, among other things. And the state&amp;rsquo;s attorney general has secured multibillion-dollar settlements against major technology companies for alleged violations of state laws. While the federal government and many other states have taken a light-touch approach to privacy and AI, Texas has been out front.&lt;/p&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{DA5468F3-BA87-44F6-BB29-6C79D1EFBECB}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/03/market-access-another-favorable-medical-products-advisory-opinion-from-hhs</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>#Market Access: Another Favorable Medical Products Advisory Opinion from HHS-OIG Signals New Flexibilities</title><description /><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{6D046351-6A59-4EF5-B6D7-2D35A0224B8A}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/events/2026/03/ian-mcginley-to-speak-at-the-dc-blockchain-summit</link><category>Events</category><title>Ian McGinley to Speak at the DC Blockchain Summit</title><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{13C6DA98-87C0-4F4C-94F2-00DF47645E6D}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/newsupdates/2026/03/us-treasury-and-irs-release-first-proposed-regulations-implementing-trump-accounts</link><category>Sidley Updates</category><title>U.S. Treasury and IRS Release First Proposed Regulations Implementing Trump Accounts</title><description /><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{3A0F2F75-EF78-4353-B70B-3D1A223E3F55}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/03/sidley-discusses-delaware-supreme-court-decision-upholding-section-144-safe-harbor-amendments</link><category>Publications</category><title>Sidley Discusses Delaware Supreme Court Decision Upholding Section 144 Safe Harbor Amendments</title><description>The Delaware Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of significant amendments to Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law enacted through Senate Bill 21. The decision confirms that corporations and their advisers may rely on the statute&amp;rsquo;s new safe harbor frameworks when structuring transactions involving interested fiduciaries. This article examines the court&amp;rsquo;s reasoning, including its treatment of the Court of Chancery&amp;rsquo;s equitable jurisdiction and the statute&amp;rsquo;s retroactive application. It also highlights key implications for boards and dealmakers navigating interested-fiduciary transactions under Delaware law.</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2026 05:00:00 Z</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">{C6B6F3CA-D76F-431C-A7D0-07421071E169}</guid><link>https://www.sidley.com/en/insights/publications/2026/03/thomas-r-califano-featured-in-center-for-bankruptcy-studies-alumni-spotlight</link><category>Publications</category><title>Thomas R. Califano Featured in Center for Bankruptcy Studies’ Alumni Spotlight</title><description>The St. John&amp;rsquo;s University School of Law Center for Bankruptcy Studies featured a Q&amp;amp;A with Tom Califano, a partner in Sidley&amp;rsquo;s New York office, in their March Bankruptcy Alumni Spotlight. The Center for Bankruptcy Studies is home to all of the Law School&amp;rsquo;s bankruptcy initiatives, including the nation&amp;rsquo;s leading Bankruptcy LL.M. program, the &lt;em&gt;American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review&lt;/em&gt;, the Bankruptcy Law Society, and the Bankruptcy Fellowship Program.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When asked about which part of restructuring work he finds most rewarding, Tom said, &amp;ldquo;fixing problems that have a human impact.&amp;rdquo; He explained that, with regard to healthcare matters, &amp;ldquo;you&amp;rsquo;re trying to keep the facilities open, sustain a business, and preserve jobs. It goes beyond dollars, cents, and creditors and impacts actual lives.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tom represents large private and public companies in distress, buyers of distressed companies, and significant creditor constituencies. His practice focuses on company and buy-side representations across various industries, including healthcare, energy, and financial services. &lt;br /&gt;
