Author: Kevin A. Foreman
Marisa A. Trasatti (Partner) and Kevin A. Foreman (Associate), Baltimore, MD, co-authored “The Travel Industry on Trial: The ‘State of the Art’ of Human Trafficking Awareness and the Impact of Third-Party Civil Cases” for the Spring 2021 edition of the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel’s newsletter, Insights. Marisa and Kevin discuss evolving trends in human trafficking awareness as traffickers continue to target unwitting travel industry professionals. The article addresses how state and federal claims use “state of the art” considerations to determine what a defendant “knew or should have known” and explains human trafficking’s relation to crypto-transactions and cyber measures as well as the rise of trafficking litigation.
