Can an employer terminate an employee after a positive drug test if the result may have been caused by a prescribed medication?

Constangy Chief Legal Editor Robin Shea explores a recent court decision that raises important questions about disability accommodations, prescription medications, and workplace drug testing.

The decision highlights several important lessons for employers, including:
• handling positive drug test results involving lawful prescription medications
• the importance of supervisor training and HR involvement
• following established drug testing policies and procedures
• evaluating potential disability accommodation obligations
• coordinating with medical review officers before making employment decisions

The case serves as a reminder that employers should carefully assess whether a positive drug test may be connected to a protected medical condition before taking adverse action.

Are you prepared for the next phase of CMMC 2.0 compliance? As CMMC requirements continue rolling out across Department of War contracts, organizations face increasing regulatory scrutiny and potentially significant legal and financial consequences for noncompliance.

In Part 1 of a multi-part series, Constangy Cyber Team members Andrew Chase, John Keir, and Ryan Steidl explore what businesses need to know now. Key insights include:

• how CMMC 2.0 has shifted from self-attestation to independent assessments and certifications
• why the recent Hillmer indictment signals increased enforcement and potential personal liability for cybersecurity misrepresentations
• common compliance risks involving system scoping, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and third-party providers
• practical steps businesses should take now to reduce risk and prepare for future assessments

This bulletin highlights how cybersecurity compliance is increasingly becoming a legal, contractual, and operational imperative, not just a technical exercise.

The EEOC is seeking to rescind its decades-old guidance on voluntary affirmative action plans.

Constangy partner Cara Crotty explains what the proposed change could mean for employers and highlights several key considerations, including:

• why the rescission may have limited practical impact for many employers
• the circumstances under which voluntary affirmative action plans have historically been permitted
• the potential loss of an EEOC-endorsed affirmative defense
• what the proposal could mean for race- and sex-conscious decision-making
• steps employers should take to review existing voluntary affirmative action plans

While the proposal may not significantly alter most employers' current practices, it reflects the continued evolution of the federal government's approach to DEI-related initiatives.

What do the National Basketball Players Association’s latest agent regulation changes mean for agents, players, and the future of player representation?

In his recent article for Sports Litigation Alert, Constangy attorney Chris Deubert analyzes the September 2025 amendments to the NBPA’s agent regulations and the litigation that helped drive these changes. Key insights include:

• how litigation involving an NBA agent and player influenced the regulatory revisions
• why the NBPA strengthened restrictions on agent marketing activities and financial arrangements with players
• how the new rules are designed to enhance player protections and agent accountability
• what the amendments may mean for agents, players, and the broader sports representation industry
• how the revised regulations fit within the evolving legal and labor framework of professional sports

The article highlights the important role player unions play in protecting athlete interests while overseeing agent conduct.
