Watson and Northstar Commercial Partners file a federal lawsuit against former employee over alleged false claims in Amazon deal. It’s a story that rivals the show “Succession,” but for Colorado-based real estate investor and developer Brian Watson, it’s a very real nightmare involving behemoth Amazon and the strong arms of the FBI and Department of Justice.

This past year the Supreme Court tackled and trimmed the power of many federal administrative agencies. It ruled on the 40-year-old doctrine of deference to agencies (Chevron), on expanding the time period for challenging final agency rules (Corner Post), and on the constitutional limits of agency use of administrative law judges (Jarkesy). Finally, the Court suggested that it might strike an EPA rule based solely on its lack of application to all states regulated by the “good neighbor” statutory policy (Ohio v. EPA). What should a lawyer practicing in federal courts take away from this increased judicial scrutiny of agency power? How might this battle impact lawyers dealing primarily with state-regulatory agencies? The panel will discuss both intellectual and practical implications of the Court’s 2023 Term decisions and pending cases in the 2024 Term. Panelists: Howard Kenison, Sanne Knudsen, Kannon Shanmugam, and @ethanshenkman-attorney See this panel and many more at the 32nd Fall Conference, Oct. 23-25, 2024, in Seattle.
