Learn about the hot Internet of Things law topics you need to know in our increasingly connected world. This program is free to ABA members and is part of the ABA Free CLE series.
We live in a connected world, where billions of vehicles, buildings, process control devices, wearables, medical devices, drones, consumer/business products, mobile phones, tablets, and other "smart" objects are wirelessly connecting to and communicating with each other. Forecasted by Gartner, Inc. to reach 20.4 billion connected things by 2020, with trillions of dollars in spending, this so-called "Internet of Things" or IoT is raising unprecedented legal and liability issues and becoming one of the hottest new law practice areas.
This fast-paced and stimulating panel will provide appetizer-size coverage of hot IoT law topics everyone needs to know, regardless of practice area:
- Beyond the buzzwords: what is IoT, what's driving it, and who regulates it
- Ripped from the headlines: lessons learned from recent IoT missteps
- IoT on trial: mass torts, class actions, and theories of liability
- Securing the insecure: IoT's Achilles' heel
- Practical steps to minimize risks
Partner Cheryl Falvey is a panelist for this webinar.

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.
