K&L Gates Releases Post-Chevron Toolkit

Global law firm K&L Gates LLP has developed a post-Chevron toolkit in response to the US Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in June eliminating the requirement that courts defer to federal agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutes. The toolkit was designed to help clients understand, anticipate, and navigate the full impact of the decision and serves as a basic primer on the ramifications of Loper Bright on the regulated community.

The toolkit includes an introduction to the “administrative state” and how Loper Bright fits into it, a one-pager on the Loper Bright decision and what it means, FAQs on what has (and has not) changed because of Loper Bright, a step-by-step checklist to the questions companies should ask when reviewing regulations, and a plain English glossary of frequently used terms and phrases.

“With the overturning of Chevron and the changing priorities of an incoming administration, our clients are operating in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment,” said Washington, D.C., partner Varu Chilakamarri, former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the US Department of Justice. “Our toolkit enables industry leaders and others to understand this administrative landscape and to spot issues for strategic partnerships with us.”

With a significant team of bipartisan lawyers and policy professionals who have more than 500 years of combined government experience, members of K&L Gates’ Public Policy and Law practice work with clients through the entire policy life cycle—from legislation and regulation to litigation and dispute resolution. The group is one of the largest public policy practices of any global integrated law firm.
