    Corporate Governance Update: A Formative Period for AI Regulation

    By David A. Katz and Laura A. McIntosh | January 24, 2024

    With the issuance in October 2023 of a wide-ranging executive order on artificial intelligence, the Biden administration took its most significant action to date toward oversight of the development and use of AI technologies.

    When Do Omissions Create Private Liability? The Supreme Court Ponders

    By John Coffee | January 17, 2024

    On Jan. 16, 2024, the Supreme Court heard 'MacQuarie Infrastructure Corp. v. Moab Partners L.P.', which will presumably resolve a circuit split. The question before the court is whether the Second Circuit erred in holding "that a failure to make a disclosure required under Item 303 of SEC Regulation S-K can support a private claim under §10(b) of the Exchange Act, even in the absence of an otherwise misleading statement."

    Judgment Lienholders Versus UCC Lienholders: Who Wins When It Comes to Cash?

    By Barbara M. Goodstein and John M. Conlon | December 6, 2023

    Judgment creditors frequently encounter difficulties enforcing their judgments against debtors, particularly those in distressed circumstances. A recent decision by the Court of Appeals of Ohio in 'Wulco v. The O'Gara Group & Monroe Capital Partners Fund' involved a battle between a judgment creditor and a UCC secured creditor, each seeking to obtain funds in a debtor's bank account. The court examined not only the relative rights of the creditors as to those funds, but also whether a court clerk to whom the funds were transferred (as part of garnishment proceedings) could be a "transferee" under Section 9-332 of the Uniform Commercial Code, thereby stripping away any prior security interest.

    The Calculus of Default, Cure and Reinstatement of a Loan in Chapter 11 Gains Clarity in New York

    By Corinne Ball | October 25, 2023

    Distress investors ought to take heed from the analysis set forth in 'In re Golden Seahorse.'

    'Hyatt Hotels': Are Omissions From Gross Income an Accounting Method?

    By David E. Kahen and Elliot Pisem | October 18, 2023

    'Hyatt Hotels v.
