Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC   If you’ve ever opened a storage closet and found a sad little box of old hard drives staring back at you, you already know the feeling: “I think these were wiped… but if someone plugged them in, what would they see?” Modern guidance is pretty blunt: as long as the hardware physically exists, the data on it can often still be recovered with the right tools. Universities like Johns Hopkins explicitly warn that simply deleting or reformatting information on most storage media is often not enough, because that data is “easily recovered.”…

While company holiday parties present valuable opportunities to boost morale, express appreciation, and strengthen workplace culture, without careful planning, these events can expose organizations to unnecessary risks, including legal liability, safety incidents, and feelings of exclusion among employees. The good news is, taking the time now to plan an appropriate, inclusive and socially aware Company get-together will keep Scrooge far away. Here is…

Written By: Lizabeth Levinson Brittney Powell Fox Rothschild   A growing number of companies – following the lead of Costco – are filing protective lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) to preserve their right to refunds if the Supreme Court strikes down the Trump administration’s emergency-based tariffs. If your company paid tariffs enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) in 2025, you should consider immediate, practical steps to protect your position. Fox Rothschild’s International Trade team is filing suit on behalf of a coalition of plaintiffs. Email Lizbeth Levinson at llevinson@foxrothschild.com or your primary contact at the…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC   When your company retires old laptops, servers, or hard drives, there’s always a basic question in the background: How do you prove the data is really gone? You might wipe drives or send equipment to a recycler. But if an auditor, regulator, or cyber insurer asks a year from now, “Show us what happened to these devices,” verbal assurances won’t cut it. You need something you can actually put on the table. That’s where an ITAD certificate of destruction comes in. It’s a straightforward document that connects specific devices to a specific destruction…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC.   If you manage retiring laptops, servers, backup tapes, or the odd box of legacy media, you already know the uncomfortable truth: “delete” isn’t destruction. Drives fail, tapes age, and fleets get refreshed-but the data inside them doesn’t vanish on its own. At CLR Solutions, we help organizations choose the right end-of-life method for each device, balancing security, cost, and sustainability. One option that still matters in 2025 is degaussing-the use of a powerful magnetic field to scramble data on magnetic media so it can never be reconstructed. This post explains what degaussing is, how it works,…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC Every business and individual today depends on data. It’s in your emails, your financial records, your health information, and your client files. But what happens when the devices holding that data – hard drives, servers, laptops, phones – reach the end of their life? Simply deleting files isn’t enough. Without proper handling, sensitive information can still be pulled back with basic recovery tools, leaving you exposed to data breaches, identity theft, and regulatory fines. That’s where data destruction comes in. At CLR Solutions, we specialize in secure, certified destruction methods that make sure your…

Nachman, Phulwani, Zimovcak (NPZ) Law Group, P.C.   On September 19, 2025, President Trump signed a Presidential Proclamation requiring a $100,000 payment for certain H-1B petitions.

Written By: John Kaveney Partner, Healthcare and Litigation Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis LLP   On October 1, 2025, the U.S. federal government entered a partial shutdown after Congress failed to pass either a full-year appropriations package or a continuing resolution. Among the many ripples from this lapse in funding is a sudden rollback of the expanded telehealth flexibilities under Medicare that providers and beneficiaries have now utilized for many years. While Medicare is classified as a mandatory program, and thus core functions of Medicare remain funded during a shutdown, the temporary telehealth authorities were subject to explicit legislative extension…

Written By: Andrew F. Beck Gibbons P.C.   Does an employee logging into the computer of an employee away from the office, at the request of said employee, to access a document and email it to the employee away from the office constitute criminal behavior under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. §1030 (CFAA), a federal statute that imposes criminal penalties and provides for a civil cause of action against individuals who obtain information from a computer by intentionally accessing the computer without authorization or by exceeding authorized access? Also at issue is whether passwords constitute trade secrets…

Written By: Chris Regan Founder CLR Solutions LLC   Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of clean power, but like any technology, it has a lifespan. Panels typically last 25-30 years, though many are replaced sooner for upgrades to higher wattage density models or due to property renovations, roof work, or relocation. Even after two decades, a panel can still produce roughly 80% of its original rated power-meaning they often retain real value at the time of removal. The challenge? When it’s time to remove or replace panels, improper handling can waste valuable resources, create environmental hazards, and…
