Maranda E. Fritz and Eli B. Richlin of Thompson Hine write: Recent proceedings demonstrate that, where the SEC is involved, discovery stays can be entirely one-sided, preventing only the defendant from gathering further information while the SEC continues to compile evidence that is then used in the pending civil and/or criminal actions. This changes the calculus for defense counsel and their clients when considering whether to oppose the government's motion for a stay of discovery.

Vazquez of Thompson Hine in New York write: It is clear that Lafler claims are a fixture of Sixth Amendment litigation, but uncertainty abounds about both the substantive and procedural aspects of those claims, including the core question of what constitutes "ineffective assistance of counsel" at the plea negotiation stage of a criminal case.

Maranda E. Fritz, a partner at Hinshaw & Culbertson, and Khardeen I. Shillingford, an associate with the firm, write: In the midst of representation of a white collar client, there inevitably comes the moment when we discuss with the client the fact that a conviction would remain on the client's record for life. The permanence of that result has been a deciding factor for many clients who declined to resolve a criminal case, even when presented with an offer of a misdemeanor, but some rarely used paths to expungement actually exist.
