It’s pretty scary when the President and his advisors declare they intend to put you out of business. However, the Perkins Coie marketing and PR teams have risen to the challenge by launching a new website, leveraging paid Google ads, and connecting with their large organic social media following.

"The Fifth Circuit merits panel has vacated the Fifth Circuit motion panel's stay of the District Court's preliminary injunction" is a sentence I just wrote in an email on Boxing Day.
The Corporate Transparency Act case trundles on. While the en banc petition on the motions panel’s stay was pending, the brand new merits panel of the Fifth Circuit reinstates the stay itself. So all you compliance people at companies can chill.
