Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The End of ESG Collusion? A Conversation on the Vanguard Case
Q: What is the status of the ongoing actions against BlackRock and State Street?
Discovery is ongoing, with the expectation of accessing Vanguard's documents to inform the case; trials are projected for 2028, and authorities intend to pursue evidence vigorously to determine the extent of collusion and market impact.
The End of ESG Collusion? A Conversation on the Vanguard Case
Q: What were the key terms of the settlement and why are they significant?
The settlement requires Vanguard to remain a passive investor, drop from certain ESG alliances, stop advocating for carbon-related actions, and cooperate with the case, as well as pay civil penalties; it also involves disclosing communications that show coordination among asset managers, and it marks a shift in voting dynamics away from a duopoly of proxy advisers.
The End of ESG Collusion? A Conversation on the Vanguard Case
Q: Can you give us some background on how asset managers influence companies and why states would examine this area?
Asset managers use a combination of informal engagement and voting power to push management toward certain ESG and climate-related objectives, sometimes coordinating through industry groups; the lawsuit argues this coordination has anti-competitive effects and harms consumers, justifying state enforcement and potential remedies.
What are the Challenges That Immigration Policy Poses for Businesses?
Q: Looking back to the 1986 reform and discussions with lawmakers, what has changed in the policy landscape that makes reform both necessary and difficult today?
Panelists note that enforcement patterns have shifted, that past compromises rarely materialize into sustained practice, and that the complexity of I-9, e-Verify, and H-1B enforcement requires a balanced approach focusing on fraud, safe harbor for compliant employers, and stable, long-term policy signals for businesses.
What are the Challenges That Immigration Policy Poses for Businesses?
Q: Why do you think mandatory e-Verify with broad preemption of state verification laws would be advisable, given the history of state pilots and federal enforcement?
The panelists argue that nationwide mandatory e-Verify would equalize the playing field, reduce incentives to hire undocumented workers, and provide a consistent set of protections for American workers; preemption helps avoid a patchwork of state laws that create confusion and competitive distortions.
