Reese Witherspoon’s Clothing Company Receives Backlash for Changing Rules in Teacher Appreciation Dress Giveaway for Covid-19
In 2017, California-based clothing company, Sunny Co. Clothing, posted a photo to its Instagram account displaying a model wearing Sunny Co. Clothing’s “Pamela” red, full-piece bathing suit. The caption stated that every person who reposts the image tagging Sunny Co. Clothing “will receive a FREE Pamela Sunny Suit.” Sunny Co. Clothing failed to set a maximum on the number of swimsuits available for the promotion. The post quickly went viral and Sunny Co. Clothing found itself in the undesirable position of not being able to fulfil its promotional obligations as it simply did not have enough swimsuits to meet the demand. Sunny Co. Clothing publicly learned the importance of having complete and conspicuously disclosed contest rules for social media giveaways. Reese Witherspoon’s fashion label, Draper James, is now learning the same lesson several years later. Read More ›

COVID 19: Quarantine-Caused Vacancy Could Jeopardize Your Property Insurance Coverage
Every landlord carries property insurance protecting against damage sustained by real property. But current stay-at-home orders may permit insurers to disclaim coverage by relying on typical exclusions for vacant property. This client alert authored by Jeremy King identifies a potential pitfall in coverage contained in almost all property insurance forms and suggests that landlords act now to make sure that stay-at-home orders do not result in limitations on coverage available for future losses.

One such relief provision that was discussed in an earlier client alert is the COVID‑19 hardship distribution, which allows employees to withdraw up to $100,000 on a tax-favored basis from an eligible retirement account for expenses and losses resulting from COVID‑19.
