PFAS Air Emissions Restrictions
When evaluating legal risk relating to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), most businesses typically consider wastewater, groundwater, or soil impacts, not air emissions. However, state and federal regulatory agencies have increasingly considered whether PFAS in air emissions affect the environment, paving the path for future emission controls.
This article outlines the legal and policy developments at the state and federal level that relate to PFAS in air emissions to help businesses mitigate risk and anticipate changes that may impact their operations.

AIFMD II Leverage Limits and Single Borrower Exposure Restriction
AIFMD II[1]introduces substantial changes to the EU-wide regulatory framework for alternative investment fund managers (“AIFMs”) that was established under AIFMD. The changes cover a wide range of areas but will have a particularly significant impact on funds that originate loans. Among the new rules on loan origination activities are leverage limits and single borrower exposure limits which are particularly relevant for the use of back-leverage by private credit funds operating in the EU. These new rules will also be relevant for AIFMs in the UK managing credit funds located in the EU.

Are you ready for Martyn’s Law?
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025 and is expected to be implemented within the next 24 months. There will be no legal requirement to comply until the legislation comes into force, and the Home Office will publish statutory guidance on compliance during the 24-month implementation period. The Act will strengthen the security of many publicly accessible premises (with a focus on retail, hospitality, entertainment and leisure venues). Those in control of relevant premises will be required to take steps to reduce the risk of physical harm to individuals in the event of a terrorist attack.
