Register

As part of PLI’s Internet of Things 2020: Everything in Connected NY event, Cheri Falvey will be presenting on "IoT Litigation – Identifying and Mitigating Risk" at 4:15 pm.


IoT devices are amazing. They inspire us, entertain us, educate us, even feed and convey us. When they fail, they not only confound us, they often violate our privacy because they under-protect our information, and, sometimes, they physically harm us or damage our property. What are the legal theories available to aggrieved plaintiffs? What will be the impact of the California Security of Connected Devices law, and similar bills pending in other states on IoT litigation, including class action litigation. Are there pro-active protective strategies available to vendors? What practical means mitigate the risk including indemnification, insurance, establishing privity of contract, and creating enforceable agreements with a binding arbitration clause.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
