In Law360 Article, Helen Gugel and Patrick O'Connell Analyze What Comes Next for Digital Asset Regulation After the Clarity Act's Senate Defeat
September 30, 2026
In a new article in Law360, litigation & enforcement partner and co-leader of the digital assets, crypto and blockchain task force Helen Gugel and litigation & enforcement associate Patrick O'Connell examine the implications of the U.S. Senate's September 15 vote to block the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and what the bill's failure meansfor the regulatory landscape ahead of the November midterm elections.
The article analyzes why the bill stalled--including disputes over ethics provisions for government officials holding digital assets, concerns from community banks about stablecoin deposit competition, and pushback from a bipartisan group of 18 state attorneys general--and assesses the pathways that could deliver regulatory clarity in the absence of legislation.
Among the near-term developments they highlight are SEC-proposed rules for token-based capital raises and CFTC Chairman Michael Selig's stated intent to codify digital asset rules through the agency's existing authority.
As Helen and Patrick note, the Senate's rejection "is not a rejection of digital assets" but rather reflects the reality that "the legal frameworks for digital asset regulation will come through other avenues."
They counsel companies in the digital asset space to anticipate formal agency rulemaking and to continue monitoring the evolving patchwork of agency guidance that governs the market today.

Newmark Arranges Sale of Quadro Collection at Miami Design District
September 30, 2026
Newmark announces the Company has arranged the sale of Quadro Collection at Miami Design District, a 26,494-square-foot retail condominium located at the base of the 12-story, 198-unit Quadro residential tower at 3900 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, Florida.
Newmark President and Head of Retail Capital Markets Conor Lalor, Senior ManagingDirector Eric Williams, Director James Sharpe V and Associate Director Andrei Larion represented the undisclosed seller in the transaction.
Completed in 2020, Quadro Collection comprises ground-floor retail space within one of Miami's most dynamic mixed-use corridors. The property was approximately 91% leased at the time of sale to a curated roster of design, wellness, fitness and service-oriented tenants, including Waterworks, Circa Lighting, Interlude Home, The Shade Store, 7th Avenue, La Casa Continua, Acai Express, SOLT Wellness & MedSpa and Ontario Optics.
"Quadro Collection presented investors with the opportunity to acquire an irreplaceable retail asset in a premier urban location that continues to benefit from exceptional population growth, residential densification and retailer demand," said Williams. "The property's combination of in-place income, below-market rents and long-term rent growth potential generated significant interest from a deep pool of private and institutional investors."
Positioned at the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 39th Street, the property benefits from exceptional regional accessibility and visibility within the rapidly evolving Biscayne Corridor. The asset is located immediately adjacent to the world-renowned Miami Design District and is surrounded by a dense concentration of luxury retail, residential, hospitality and office uses.
The surrounding trade area continues to experience substantial growth, supported by approximately 215,000 residents within a three-mile radius, more than 25 million square feet of office space and over 150,000 daytime employees. More than 11,000 luxury residential units are either planned or under construction within 1.5 miles of the property, further strengthening long-term retail demand fundamentals.

Milliman and Monitaur team up to offer comprehensive AI governance solution
The global risk and actuarial firm selects Monitaur's AI platform for its Strategic Alliances and Ecosystems Program
-
SEATTLE and BOSTON, September 30, 2026--Milliman, one of the world's largest independent risk, actuarial, and technology consulting firms, and Monitaur, the AI assurance platform for enterprises that have to prove their AI works, today announced a collaboration under Milliman's StrategicAlliance and Ecosystem Program to offer a comprehensive AI governance solution . Milliman consultants supporting clients with AI deployments can build upon the Monitaur platform, and Monitaur's customers can have their most consequential AI systems independently reviewed by a Milliman expert, inside the software they already run their program in.
Few enterprises can prove their AI works in production
This gap shows up across every regulated industry. A Schellman survey of 525 organizations found 74% believe they would pass an AI compliance audit, while only 27% describe their AI governance program as mature. In insurance, Grant Thornton found just 24% of executives are very confident they could pass an independent AI governance review within 90 days - and 61% have AI policies but lack the infrastructure to prove or test them. Meanwhile, boards are asking enterprises to prove their AI works, with enterprises left to define the standard, produce the evidence, and defend both.
Expert AI governance advice now becomes operational
The Milliman/Monitaur collaboration focus es on two key themes - building and assuring AI governance. For organizations struggling to define their corporate strategy and posture regarding AI risk, Milliman can layer their expertise on top of Monitaur's platform to deliver an AI governance program that can be quickly operationalized. For organizations seeking independent reviews and opinions about critical AI applications, Monitaur's software facilitates a streamlined objective review by a qualified Milliman expert.
Why Milliman chose Monitaur to join its Alliances and Ecosystems Program
Enterprises are no longer governing one model at a time. Most now run hundreds of AI systems in production. Monitaur already operates inside some of the largest and most complex financial services companies in the world. Since Monitaur had been addressing AI governance in insurance before most of the category existed, it had an inherent depth and scale advantage. Milliman wanted a solution that was a fit for complex industries and organized in a fashion that could support enterprise -wide governance at scale.
Monitaur has also been recognized as a Visionary in the inaugural 20 26 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrante for AI Governance Platforms and as both a Strong Performer and the category's only Customer Favorite in The Forrester Wave e: AI Governance Solutions, Q3 20 25.
Milliman quote
Clients we work with are under real pressure to adopt AI, and that opportunity only holds up if the risk strategy underneath it is thoughtful and actually operational," said Peggy Brinkmann, principal at Milliman. "AI risk is among the most complex challenges our clients face. Monitaur has proven its software drives measurable risk mitigations of models and AI at scale. It offers an ideal platform to both complement and extend our expertise ."
Monitaur quote
"AI governance cannot operate independently of a company's broader risk appetite and its established risk practices - and for most enterprises, the firm that already helps them set that appetite is Milliman," said Anthony Habayeb, co-founder and CEO of Monitaur. "Milliman has consistently demonstrated leadership advising companies through the most complex emerging risks. This relationship pairs our obsession with the specific risks of AI with the broader risk expertise of a firm regulators and boards have t rusted since 1947. For our customers, it means the independent expert opinion they have been asking for is now something they can get repeatedly, inside the platform they already run."

Bretislav Simral receives Legal Intrapreneur award at the FT Innovative Lawyer Awards Europe 2026
Dentons ranked among the top 7 innovative law firms in Europe
September 30, 2026
Bretislav Simral, Europe Innovation and Intelligence Director at Dentons, was awarded Legal Intrapreneur at the FT Innovative Lawyer Awards Europe 2026. The accolade recognizes his pivotal role in leading Dentons' artificial intelligence strategy across Europe and Central Asia, as well as developing the Firm's proprietary AI tools such asDAISY and Legal Radar.
"I am truly grateful for this award," said Bretislav Simral. "Of course, innovation never happens in isolation - it requires diverse ideas, skills and perspectives. We have incredible talent across the firm, and I am passionate about bringing people together in the spirit of co-creation. A special thanks to our Innovation and Intelligence team, IT team, lawyers, and countless others who have contributed to the success of our innovation strategy."
Overall, Dentons was ranked among the top 7 innovative law firms in Europe, reflecting the Firm's advanced use of AI and technology and its ability to bring creative solutions to clients' business challenges.
Dentons was highly commended for the development of Legal Radar, an AI tool which allows Dentons lawyers to generate an instant legal health check on any company. Based on deep research on company news, market developments and sector trends, it identifies risks and opportunities for the company and matches those with Dentons services that can help - providing lawyers with a powerful client conversation starter and business development tool.
Dentons was also commended for its AI empowerment strategy, a cultural transformation program to help embed AI into daily work. The integrated strategy includes training, best practice sharing, as well hackathons, where lawyers are invited to submit ideas on potential AI applications, and then the Innovation and Intelligence develops a rapid prototype overnight and presents it to the group the following day. Through this approach, the firm increased the number of AI interactions across Europe from 23,500 in June 2025 to 455,000 in August 2026.
Wendela Raas, Europe Chief Executive Officer at Dentons, commented, "We are immensely proud of Bretislav and the entire Europe Innovation and Intelligence team. Not only did Breta receive the well-deserved Legal Intrapreneur award, but his team was also behind two of the other highlighted projects - Legal Radar and our AI empowerment strategy. Through their leadership, and with the support and engagement of our colleagues across Europe, we are truly delivering on our vision to build the law firm of the future."
Beyond the use of technology, Dentons was recognised for its innovative legal advice. The UK Planning and Public Law team was highly commended for advising the UK Government on the making of a Special Development Order (SDO) granting planning permission for the Universal Studios theme park near Bedford, which will be the UK's first major entertainment resort complex. The SDO was laid before Parliament in December 2025 and enacted in January 2026 - unlocking one of the UK's most significant inward investment opportunities. The work has established a precedent for the use of SDOs to facilitate nationally significant commercial investment.

American Airlines reaffirms commitment to Feeding America as a Mission Partner during Hunger Action Month
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Today American Airlines announced a renewed partnership with Feeding America(R), the nation's largest hunger-relief organization. As a Mission Partner, American will continue its commitment to helping end hunger, ensuring everyone across the country has access to the food they need to thrive.
Together, the organizations have expanded access to food and essential resourcesby supporting the Feeding America network of 250+ food banks, 20+ statewide food bank associations, 10+ regional co-ops and 60,000+ agency partners, food pantries and meal programs, reaching millions of people facing hunger each year.
American also supports Feeding America through donated AAdvantage(R) miles, helping network members travel to further their mission while serving communities experiencing food insecurity.
The work continued this September with Hunger Action Month(R), an annual national campaign that raises awareness of food insecurity and calls individuals, organizations and communities to take action to help end hunger in America.
"We're grateful for partners like American Airlines who understand that ending hunger is a collective effort, especially at a time when so many communities are feeling stretched and uncertain," said Interim Vice President of Corporate and Foundation Partnerships at Feeding America Elizabeth Pettengill. "Through their continued support, American helps us reach more neighbors facing hunger across the country, moving us closer to a future where everyone has access to the food they need to thrive."
Later this year, American and Feeding America will continue their partnership with the seventh annual Thanksgiving Mobile Market, which brings together volunteers to help distribute food items across Dallas-Fort Worth ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
"We're proud to continue our partnership with Feeding America and help advance its mission to end hunger in America," said American's Director of Partnerships and Community Griffin Gonzalez. "Over the years, what began as a single volunteer packing event has grown into a longstanding partnership focused on supporting communities facing hunger. We look forward to expanding that impact in the years ahead."
This Hunger Action Month, AAdvantage(R) members can support organizations like Feeding America by donating miles through the Miles for Social Good program.
Donating is simple. AAdvantage(R) members can log in to their account, navigate to the Donate page and select the number of AAdvantage(R) miles they wish to contribute.* Members can select as few as 1,000 miles to help support those who need it most.
Not an AAdvantage(R) member? Joining is easy and free at aa.com/aadvantage.
*Minimum donation is 1,000 miles, except for members who have an available balance of less than 1,000 miles, who may donate their entire balance. Donations are not tax deductible. Processing can take up to 48 hours. American Airlines reserves the right to determine the final use of miles within the guidelines of the Miles for Social Good, Miles for Global Health and Well-Being, Miles for Heroes and Miles for Our Planet programs.
