WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

BIDEN TIME - In yesterday’s Law.com Trendspotter column, we looked at what a Biden presidency could mean for dealmakers.

As Patrick Smith reports, several industry experts and law firm leaders said they expect work to increase in tax, regulatory and enforcement, state attorneys general and white-collar practices. Meanwhile, a few observers noted they do still have fairly high hopes for M&A activity—at least in the short term—if Biden’s proposed tax changes spur deals to get done under the wire and a more vigorous response to the pandemic leads to an economic rebound.
