New York Law Journal | Analysis
By Barbara M. Goodstein | April 1, 2020
In a moment of true prescience in light of current circumstances, last year Congress amended the U.S. Bankruptcy Code by enacting the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019 (SBRA). The SBRA is the federal government's latest effort to make bankruptcy reorganization a more attractive option for small businesses, something particularly important given the potential crippling economic effects of the current pandemic. Barbara M. Goodstein discusses the Act in this edition of her Secured Transactions column.

By John C. Coffee Jr. | March 18, 2020
In his Corporate Securities column, John C. Coffee Jr. writes: Practitioners, listen up! You need to unlearn much of what you think you know about the law of insider trading. That law is changing—and quickly. In addition, new legislation has passed the House by an overwhelming margin and could conceivably pass the Senate this year.

By Philip M. Berkowitz | March 11, 2020
In this Employment Issues column, Philip M. Berkowitz discusses joint employer status and a number of recent changes on the issue, the upshot of which may be to reduce the number of federal employment related lawsuits and draw more of these claims into state courts, where the laws may be more favorably disposed toward employees, contractors, consultants, and similar workers.

By William F. Johnson | March 4, 2020
Recent court cases and a DOJ whistleblower's memo have strongly suggested that prosecutors may be purposefully and wrongfully using the MLAT (mutual legal assistance treaty) request as a pretextual means of extending the statute of limitations rather than to obtain necessary evidence. In his Corporate Crime column, William F. Johnson explores the historical allegations of such misconduct, the potential for it to occur in the future, and what defense attorneys can do to protect their clients from it.

By Corinne Ball | February 26, 2020
In her Distress Mergers and Acquisitions column, Corinne Ball discusses a recent decision in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit held that the lien of a debtor-in-possession lender in a Chapter 11 proceeding has priority over valid reclamation claims held by a trade supplier.
New York Law Journal | Analysis
By Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen | February 19, 2020
The appropriate tax treatment is not clear where a taxpayer makes a payment not in respect of a guarantee of another person's debt obligation, but, rather, by reason of a guarantee of performance of some other sort of contractual obligation of another person. In their Taxation column, Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen discuss a recent Fifth Circuit decision affirming a district court decision, in which a deduction was disallowed for an expenditure that was at least arguably of this nature.

By Joseph M. McLaughlin and Shannon K. McGovern | February 11, 2020
The Delaware Court of Chancery recently addressed a nearly unprecedented issue: the discovery and privilege implications of a special litigation committee's decision to hand over control of a company claim to a stockholder derivative plaintiff who initiated the claim and survived a motion to dismiss. As Joseph M. McLaughlin and Shannon K. McGovern discuss in this edition of their Corporate Litigation column, the framework established by the court to provide the plaintiff with the benefit of the SLC's work has expansive disclosure aspects and important boundaries to be understood by practitioners.

By Barbara M. Goodstein | February 5, 2020
In mid-2018, the American Law Institute and National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws adopted amendments to the Official Text of UCC §§9-406 and 9-408 that would make those sections inapplicable to a security interest in a general partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company. Barbara M. Goodstein discusses those amendments in this edition of her Secured Transactions column.

By David A. Katz and Laura A. McIntosh | January 22, 2020
In their Corporate Governance column, David A. Katz and Laura A. McIntosh discuss a governance initiative that, if successful, ultimately could have two significant effects on the ESG disclosure landscape: It may help generate a consensus as to common disclosure standards and, more importantly, it may increase the relevance of ESG disclosures to investors by heightening the quality, consistency, and impact of the information provided.
