Lewis & Llewellyn Sponsors Opening of Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco

As you may have heard, the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (“ICA SF”) is moving from its current building in Dogpatch to a new space downtown, a stone’s throw from the headquarters of Lewis & Llewellyn.  We are proud to be sponsoring the opening of the ICA SF, especially because it is part of a broader movement to reenergize the financial district.

 

Like Lewis & Llewellyn, ICA SF was founded with the ideal of staying nimble.  For example, it offers free admission to all and embraces non-traditional exhibition formats.  ICA SF will open with three fall exhibitions: The Poetics of Dimensions curated by Larry Ossei-Mensah, Maryam Yousif: Riverbend, and Spotlight: Kathleen Ryan.  Details about the museum’s opening can be found here.

Litigation Tips

Northern District of California’s New Program on Protecting Corporate Whistleblowers

On March 14, 2024, the Northern District of California (NDCA) put into effect a pilot program that may allow corporate whistleblowers to avoid legal consequences.

 

The Whistleblower Pilot Program (WPP) offers non prosecution agreements (NPAs) to individuals whose information and voluntary cooperation can assist the government in identifying and prosecuting criminal conduct in various areas, including “intellectual property theft and related violations.”  Effective April 15, The U.S. Department of Justice announced a program that will extend NPAs to corporate executives as well.

 

The program was developed purposefully in the NDCA as Silicon Valley is home to technology companies and startups with an abundance of intellectual property.  It aims to address corporate misconduct by refraining from prosecuting individuals who voluntarily come forward to disclose criminal activity, even if they themselves are implicated.
