Are states powerless when federal agents unjustifiably use lethal force and the DOJ declines to act?

In a recent Law360 article, Sheila Tendy examines why the Supremacy Clause does not provide blanket immunity from state homicide laws. When federal prosecutors decline to act, states retain their core authority to enforce criminal law within their borders.

Not-for-profits and religious organizations operate under a different level of scrutiny, and the margin for error is often smaller.

Tendy Law acts as Outside General Counsel to not-for-profit and religious organizations, guiding leadership through governance obligations and oversight by the New York State Attorney General’s Charities Bureau.

We also advise global not-for-profits on cross-border operations, country risk, and regulatory complexity, helping boards anticipate challenges before they draw attention from regulators.

🔹 Mission-driven work still requires disciplined legal structure.

Business counsel isn’t about answering legal questions as they arise.

It’s about understanding how a business actually operates, and guiding decisions before risk materializes.

Tendy Law provides sophisticated Outside General Counsel services to corporations and financial institutions that need experienced legal judgment without maintaining a full-time legal department.

We advise leadership teams on governance, operational risk, compliance, transactions, litigation exposure, and internal decision-making, bringing continuity, perspective, and accountability to every legal issue a business faces.

🔹 When legal counsel understands the business, strategy becomes sharper—and mistakes become rarer.

When scrutiny increases, independence matters.

We act as Independent Counsel and a Monitor to help clients navigate complex investigations, internal misconduct, and compliance obligations. Independent oversight can be the difference between prolonged exposure and restored institutional trust. We play a critical role in helping clients demonstrate credibility to prosecutors and regulators during investigations, compliance reviews, or after a troubling occurrence.

🔹 Independence isn’t symbolic. It’s strategic.
