We’re pleased to share that the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit recently issued its decision in Schaffner v. Monsanto Corp., holding that the Pennsylvania state-law claims alleging that Monsanto failed to warn a consumer of the alleged cancer-risks of glyphosate-based products were expressly preempted by the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Monsanto and other manufacturers of glyphosate-based products have faced many costly lawsuits alleging failure-to-warn and similar claims. The Third Circuit’s decision creates a clear split between the Third Circuit and the Ninth and Eleventh Circuits on FIFRA preemption for glyphosate product labeling—which the EPA has concluded, after extensive study, should not contain a cancer warning. Steptoe represented CropLife America, the leading industry trade association for pesticide manufacturers, as amicus curiae in support of Monsanto in the Third Circuit. CropLife America’s amicus briefs were authored by partner Shannen Coffin and counsel Mark Savignac. Read more on our website: https://lnkd.in/eMZYdRUn

We’re delighted to share that Steptoe pro bono partner Paul S. Lee was featured in Law.com’s ‘How I Made Partner’ series. In the article, Paul discusses his career and path to partnership, commitment to pro bono, and navigating life within the law firm environment. When asked about career planning and navigating inside a law firm, Paul said: “…[S]elf-promotion only gets you so far in life—your work and value have to stand up for themselves. And in addition, you need champions standing in your corner, willing to go to bat for you. Those relationships are not created through quick networking sessions or even through institutional programs. We have to invest deeply in those mentoring relationships over long periods of time for them to have true worth.” Visit Law.com to read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gwjnp-Rz #SteptoeServes

Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry (MD+DI) conducted a Q&A with Anne-Gabrielle HAIE in an article titled, “How to Meet Compliance Requirements for the AI Act.” The article discusses commonly asked questions regarding the EU AI Act and how companies can prepare for compliance. Speaking to MD+DI about the EU AI Act Haie said: that "While the adoption of the EU AI Act has generated significant interest worldwide and across sectors, I believe that there is still a lack of awareness about its far-reaching impacts. This is not a regulation that only targets tech companies. It will affect all industry sectors and all entities across the AI value chain.” Read the full article in Medical Device and Diagnostic Industry: https://lnkd.in/eZmQ5BXv.
