Companies Enacting 'Weinstein Clause' In Wake Of #MeToo Movement

In the #MeToo era, companies are starting to look at a firm’s history with sexual harassment before completing sales or mergers.

That's in addition to the other kinds of due diligence regarding financial records and other issues related to the business. It’s being called the "Weinstein Clause," after Harvey Weinstein.

Kim Spoerri, a partner in the mergers and acquisitions group at the New York law firm Cleary Gottlieb, joined The Show to talk about it.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
