By Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen | April 18, 2018
In their Taxation column, Elliot Pisem and David E. Kahen: The change made by the TCJA to §118 has obviously narrowed the scope of the exclusion from income for non-shareholder capital contributions to corporations.

Corporate Securities columnist John C. Coffee Jr. writes: Once upon a time, courts might wink and nod at “merger objection” cases and cooperate in their settlement. But with these cases now approaching 50 percent of all securities class actions, this “business-as-usual” approach cannot (and should not) continue. As a result, this may be the best of times for the established plaintiff's bar in securities class actions and the worst of times for the others.

Secured Transactions columnist Barbara M. Goodstein writes: I'm happy that tax issues usually don't play a major role in most plain vanilla syndicated secured lending facilities.
