How the Regulatory State May Change in the Aftermath of the SCOTUS Chevron Ruling

The Sidley Podcast

The Supreme Court has discarded the Chevron doctrine. In a decision overturning a four-decades-long precedent, the high court now says courts will no longer so easily defer to federal agency interpretations of the statutes they implement. The demise of so-called “Chevron deference” could upend the regulation of nearly all aspects of American commerce, opening the floodgates for litigation, with existing laws and future rulemaking up for grabs. And it will task agencies, corporations, environmental groups, and Congress with defining a new normal for administrative law. How will this affect regulated industries, and how should corporations respond?

Join The Sidley Podcast host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm’s thought leaders on these issues — Kwaku Akowuah and David Carpenter. Kwaku is a co-leader of Sidley’s Supreme Court and Appellate practice. David is head of Sidley’s West Coast Appellate practice and co-chair of the firm’s Regulatory Litigation group. Together, they discuss the Supreme Court’s decision in two cases involving the Chevron doctrine, how it may affect the regulatory landscape, and what companies should know about the ruling.
