The California ISO has unveiled a 20-year plan to transform the state's electricity grid, aiming to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2045. This ambitious project involves connecting 165 gigawatts of new renewable energy sources, including offshore wind, solar, and energy storage. As California electrifies transportation and industry, peak electricity demand is expected to rise significantly, necessitating extensive grid upgrades estimated to cost between $45 billion and $63 billion. The CAISO intends to meet with stakeholders this year to make this vision a reality, moving us closer to a sustainable, zero-carbon future.

Fostering diversity and supporting the next generation of legal professionals is a core part of our DEI efforts. Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting the annual summer luncheon for the UC Davis School of Law King Hall Outreach Program (KHOP). We welcomed Joe Schneider, Director of Admission and Outreach at the University of California, Davis - School of Law, and a record 31 students, many of whom were experiencing a law firm environment for the first time. A shout-out to Tyson Hubbard, our Mentoring and Professional Success Partner, for kicking off the event with an overview of Downey Brand and the legal profession, Stephen Meyer for sharing insights on the firm’s pro bono program, and associate Stella Rugama and our class of summer associates for their insightful Q&A. We had a wonderful time hosting this great group of students and getting to know them better. And who doesn’t like ice cream? We concluded the event with a tour of our newly remodeled office and ice cream in celebration of National Ice Cream Day. We are proud to support KHOP and look forward to our continued partnership.

In his newest #TrustonTrial post, trust and estate attorney Sean McKissick discusses a recent appellate decision in Trotter v. Van Dyck. In this case, the appellant's counsel took the true gymnast’s path of artistry and attempted to argue for the validity of an unsigned trust amendment based on a series of emails. Despite his creativity, the court ruled that California law does not allow for any form of electronic signatures on testamentary documents—a decision raising a larger question about electronic signatures and trust amendments. Check out the blog and read Sean's latest post here: https://bit.ly/4f6zjVd #DowneyBrand #DocumentExecution #ElectronicSignature #TrustAmendment
