The June 2026 release of Practical Guidance introduces one of the year's most comprehensive collections of new workflow resources. Across corporate, litigation, employment, real estate, construction, and regulatory practice areas, this month's updates focus on helping attorneys move efficiently from research to execution through expanded task maps, jurisdiction-specific guidance, practical templates, and expert-authored practice notes.
Task maps continue to be a major area of growth, with new step-by-step workflows added across securities offerings, labor and employment, construction, real estate, finance, internal investigations, and trusts and estates. The release also expands state-specific coverage through new litigation content, family law guidance, insurance resources, and real estate materials, giving practitioners practical support tailored to individual jurisdictions.
One of the defining themes of the June release is the continued expansion of Task Maps. These workflow-oriented resources now extend into several additional practice areas, giving attorneys structured guidance through common legal tasks while connecting each step to related Practical Guidance resources.
Capital Markets & Corporate Governance introduces new task maps covering securities offerings, due diligence, private placement memoranda, comfort letter review, and SEC reporting obligations for Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K. Labor & Employment expands with workflows addressing OSHA investigations and every stage of responding to EEOC discrimination charges. New task maps also appear in Construction, Real Estate, Securities Litigation/Enforcement & White Collar, Finance, and Trusts & Estates.
Taken together, these additions continue Practical Guidance's emphasis on helping attorneys organize legal work into practical, repeatable workflows supported by related practice notes, templates, and checklists.
Corporate and transactional practitioners will find new resources throughout several practice areas.
Business Entities adds corporate governance templates for multiple jurisdictions together with a new practice note addressing fiduciary duties of boards of directors. Capital Markets & Corporate Governance expands securities offering resources with new task maps, market trends addressing artificial intelligence disclosures, a CFTC regulatory record retention schedule, and client alert digests discussing proposed SEC reporting reforms.
Corporate and M&A continues expanding its collection of market-informed drafting resources with enhanced purchase agreement templates, confidentiality agreements, a joint venture agreement, new Market Trends covering indemnification, survival, and limitations provisions, and additional tax reorganization guidance. Commercial Transactions contributes new litigation-focused state Q&As and tortious interference claim checklists, extending practical litigation support alongside transactional content.
Construction receives one of the largest updates in the June release. New practice notes examine mechanic's liens, supply chain volatility, modular construction, and retainage administration, accompanied by Tennessee lien templates, supply chain contract clauses, Alabama data center guidance, and new mechanic's lien task maps covering New York, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio. The practice area also previews several additional resources planned for future publication, including construction litigation materials and expanded data center guidance.
Civil Litigation expands its jurisdictional footprint with the launch of Delaware pretrial civil procedure content, bringing the practice area to 31 state jurisdictions plus federal coverage.
Real Estate similarly broadens its practical guidance with new materials covering commercial-to-residential conversions, title disputes, commercial purchase and sale task maps across multiple jurisdictions, data center regulation, and additional transactional templates.
Labor & Employment continues expanding practical workflow resources with OSHA and EEOC task maps together with a Remote Workplace Investigations Checklist developed collaboratively across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The appendix also previews additional employment resources expected in future releases, including guidance on AI in employment litigation, workplace policies, leave laws, and drug and alcohol testing provisions.
Family Law adds child custody practice notes covering six jurisdictions together with new procedural checklists. Insurance introduces an Artificial Intelligence Insurance Legal and Regulatory Developments Tracker, expanded Duty to Defend and Duty to Indemnify Q&As, and new workers' compensation guidance addressing remote work and workplace marijuana issues.
Securities Litigation/Enforcement & White Collar expands internal investigation resources with new witness interview materials, Upjohn guidance, insider trading workflows, SEC enforcement checklists, and additional white collar defense content.
The June release extends beyond the featured practice areas with substantial additions throughout. Federal Government introduces new public-sector resource kits and investigation materials. Finance expands with lending, securitization, and financing commitment resources. Healthcare adds guidance on health equity, telehealth, and healthcare governance. In-House Advisor introduces an AI Technology Evaluation Checklist, Life Sciences adds new FDA-related guidance, Tax receives an extensive collection of practice notes and templates, and Trusts & Estates continues expanding probate, estate administration, and trust planning resources with numerous new templates, clauses, and task maps.
The Practical Guidance June 2026 Updates continue to build on the platform's practical approach to legal work. Expanded task maps, broader jurisdictional coverage, and new drafting resources across corporate, litigation, regulatory, employment, construction, and real estate practice areas provide attorneys with additional support for everyday legal workflows.
