PHILADELPHIA, PA – Edward T. Kang, Managing Member of Kang Haggerty LLC, will serve as a panelist for an upcoming Strafford BARBRI CLE webinar, “RICO Suits Against Personal Injury Lawyers: Mitigating New Risks from Standard Practices; Impact on Underlying Cases,” scheduled for October 28, 2026.

The 90-minute program will examine the growing use of civil RICO claims by insurers and corporate defendants against personal injury lawyers and related professionals. The panel will explore how practices traditionally viewed as commonplace within the plaintiffs’ bar are increasingly being scrutinized as potential evidence of alleged Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act violations.

During the webinar, presenters will discuss developing case law, ethical considerations involving relationships with medical providers and referral sources, litigation strategies for defending against RICO allegations, insurance coverage considerations, and the broader impact these cases may have on underlying personal injury litigation. The program will also address steps attorneys can take to reduce risk and strengthen their ability to respond to frivolous allegations.

While plainly irrelevant personal content can be excluded from review populations, firms should preserve the complete original forensic image and restrict access rather than delete data, maintaining evidentiary integrity while implementing clear policies for handling sensitive information.

For practitioners who bring civil RICO or antitrust claims under statutes that authorize nationwide service of process, the decision matters a great deal. Although the decision was unanimous as to the result and broad in its reasoning, the court declined to provide a precise test for what the Fifth Amendment now requires, leaving lower courts to resolve the boundaries as the law settles.

In Uber Technologies v. Simon & Simon, Judge Mark Kearney denied a motion to dismiss a RICO complaint filed by Uber and FedEx against the Philadelphia plaintiffs firm Simon & Simon, P.C. and a network of medical providers. The 54-page opinion charts how corporate defendants frame “systemic fraud” and what RICO plaintiffs must plead to survive a Rule 12 motion.

Metadata can reveal information about a document’s origin, authorship, transmission, modification, and use that may not be apparent from the document itself. This broader understanding of metadata illustrates why limiting requests to a handful of standard load-file fields may overlook metadata that is far more significant to the claims and defenses at issue.

In the June 11, 2026 edition of The Legal Intelligencer, Kelly Lavelle writes, “Metadata Attorneys Are Not Asking for (but Should Be).” Continue reading ›

For practitioners advising EB-5 investors, capital recovery is rarely as simple as filing a breach-of-contract claim against a regional center or a new commercial enterprise (NCE). EB-5 disputes sit at the intersection of federal immigration law, federal and state securities regulation, partnership and LLC governance, and, increasingly, fraud-based statutory regimes.

In the May 14, 2026 edition of The Legal Intelligencer, Edward Kang writes, “When the American Dream Stalls: Litigation Strategies for EB-5 Investors Seeking the Return of Their Capital.” Continue reading ›

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just disrupted that assumption. In Adventist Health System of West v. AbbVie, the court revived a qui tam action alleging systemic overcharges under 340B and, in doing so, made a critical point: the absence of a private right of action under 340B does not insulate manufacturers from liability under the False Claims Act (FCA).

In the April 16, 2026 edition of The Legal Intelligencer, Edward Kang writes, “No Private Right? No Problem: Ninth Circuit Lets 340B Pricing Claims Proceed Under the False Claims Act.” Continue reading ›
