In an insightful article published by FTAdviser, Partner Alfred L. Fatale III examines how SpaceX’s IPO has become a proving ground for corporate governance and shareholder rights following a policy shift at the SEC.

In examining the first major IPO to incorporate mandatory shareholder arbitration, Alfred highlights SpaceX’s novel combination of mandatory arbitration, exclusive forum selection, a class action waiver, and concentrated voting control, cautioning that investors who buy stock in the company should “understand precisely what they are buying and what remedies they may be signing away.”

Alfred urges investors and advisers to look beyond valuation and growth prospects and closely examine how a company resolves shareholder disputes and structures its governance before investing.

Partner Carol C. Villegas recently spoke with The National Law Journal to reflect on the lasting impact of the historic, unanimous jury verdict against Meta Platforms one year after the landmark decision.

As co-lead trial counsel, Carol discussed how the case, which held Meta liable under the California Invasion of Privacy Act for its role in the unauthorized collection and use of highly sensitive reproductive health data from the Flo Health app, has become a bellwether for privacy litigation. She reflects on the verdict's influence on consumer privacy, evolving corporate practices around sensitive health data, and the future of privacy litigation, including AI and children's privacy.

“Digital reproductive information does have strong privacy protection, and I think that the jury was able to look at all these very complicated issues and come to a very firm conclusion, holding Meta accountable for intercepting these very private communications. In the wake of it, you are seeing that a lot of companies, and even Meta, really changing their practices.”

If you used to the Flo Health app between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2019, you may be entitled to a payment from $59.5 million in settlements. To learn more about the settlements, eligibility, and how to file a claim, visit www.PeriodTrackerDataPrivacyLitigation.com.

Partner Domenico “Nico” Minerva and Associate Lisa M. Strejlau are the authors of “By the Numbers: Navigating the New SEC Landscape—What Institutional Investors Need to Know,” published in the Summer 2026 edition of NCPERS PERSist. Drawing on key fiscal year 2025 enforcement data, the article examines how declining SEC enforcement activity, evolving enforcement priorities, and increasingly limited shareholder engagement channels are reshaping the landscape for institutional investors. The article explores what these developments mean for investors seeking to fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities, protect portfolio value, and pursue shareholder remedies.

As SEC enforcement activity declines and shareholder engagement channels become more constrained, Nico and Lisa highlight that private securities litigation and Delaware fiduciary duty actions are the principal avenues for protecting portfolio value. They conclude: “The message is clear: investors cannot rely solely on the SEC for loss recovery or corporate deterrence. Proactive engagement with private litigation channels is now essential.”
