By John C. Coffee Jr. | January 15, 2020
In this edition of his Corporate Securities column, John C. Coffee Jr. examines law firm merger trends, particularly how the old order is changing; the forces that appear to be driving law firm mergers; why some firms have remained aloof and distant from this process; and the hidden impact on equality within the firm.

By Angela Turturro | December 18, 2019
In their Taxation column, Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen discuss a recent Tax Court memorandum decision, in which a payment in the nature of a finder's fee was made by a target entity in an acquisition, in circumstances that suggested that the payor was designated with a view to achieving a favorable tax result. The desired deduction was disallowed, and an accuracy-related penalty was sustained.

By John C. Coffee Jr. | November 20, 2019
Mutual funds have become significant investors in IPO financings, typically seeking two types of provisions: (1) redemption rights that allow them to escape (possibly if the IPO is delayed), and (2) a pricing "ratchet" that entitles them to additional shares in the event that the IPO prices below the valuation reflected in the final private-equity round. With WeWork's recent spectacularly failed IPO as an example, John C. Coffee Jr. discusses ratchet provisions in this month's edition of his Corporate Securities column.

By Philip M. Berkowitz | November 13, 2019
2019 has been a year of increased regulatory scrutiny of banks' and other financial institutions' whistleblower investigation protocols and codes of conduct. Two recent enforcement actions present extraordinary cautionary tales. As Philip M. Berkowitz discusses in his Employment Issues column, each of these matters involved individuals with high level compliance responsibilities, who apparently made very bad decisions, which resulted in enormous monetary and reputational damage to their employers as well as themselves.

By David A. Katz and Laura A. McIntosh | October 30, 2019
The slight but noticeable growth of the nascent movement against the use of environmental, social, and political factors in corporate decision-making is an early warning signal to CEOs and directors that a challenge in coming years will be to manage divisive political issues without alienating large groups of stakeholders. In their Corporate Governance column, David A. Katz and Laura A. McIntosh write that this is likely to be an increasingly difficult task.

By Corinne Ball | October 23, 2019
In her Distress Mergers and Acquisitions column, Corinne Ball discusses a decision that addressed the scope of the channeling injunction contained in W.R. Grace's plan of reorganization, and specifically, whether the channeling injunction enjoins a state-court lawsuit against one of W.R. Grace's insurers. Importantly, it also addresses a bankruptcy court's jurisdiction, a rationale that would extend beyond asbestos provisions and reach channeling injunctions used in other circumstances.

By Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen | October 16, 2019
In their Taxation column, Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen address two recent items of Treasury and IRS guidance relating to market-induced changes and their potential tax impact on owners of financial instruments, non-debt contracts and cryptocurrency: the change from the commonly used LIBOR rate to other reference rates in debt instruments and non-debt contracts, and "hard forks" in cryptocurrency where new units of cryptocurrency are received.
