Regulation A: Small Businesses’ Search For “A Moderate Capital”, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Regulation A: Small Businesses’ Search For “A Moderate Capital”, Rutheford B. Campbell Jr.
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Small businesses are an important part of our national economy, accounting for as much as 40% of our total economic activity and providing society with important services and products.
Small businesses face daunting economic, structural, and legal impediments when they attempt to acquire external capital. The absence of financial inter-mediation services means that they are almost always on their own to find investors. Their small capital needs mean that their relative offering costs are often sky high. Federal and state securities rules significantly exacerbate these economic and structural disadvantages by imposing onerous and unwarranted conditions on their search for external …
Obligations Of Financial Advisers In Change-Of-Control Transactions: Fiduciary And Other Questions, Andrew F. Tuch
Obligations Of Financial Advisers In Change-Of-Control Transactions: Fiduciary And Other Questions, Andrew F. Tuch
Scholarship@WashULaw
Outside the United States, financial regulators have recently focused their attention on whether a financial adviser to a party in a change-of-control transaction (such as a takeover) is obliged to avoid being in positions of conflict with the interests of that party. Because financial advisers in these transactions are typically investment banks, the integrated structure of which may make conflicts of interest inevitable, such an obligation is likely to pose difficult challenges for the investment banking industry. The question is complicated by two apparently inconsistent standards being applied: the fiduciary obligation to avoid conflicts and the statutory obligation in many …
Investment Banking: Immediate Challenges And Future Directions, Andrew F. Tuch
Investment Banking: Immediate Challenges And Future Directions, Andrew F. Tuch
Scholarship@WashULaw
This article discusses the organizational nature of the integrated (or full-service) investment bank, the incidence of conflicts of interest in the financial services industry and the role and effectiveness of information barriers such as Chinese walls as an arrangement for managing conflicts. The paper also describes the growing importance to investment banks of proprietary trading and principal investing, the conflicts of interest that they can produce, and the recent responses of financial regulators to these developments.
The paper was presented at a discussion forum involving senior investment bankers, lawyers and scholars in August 2006, organized against the backdrop of litigation …
Contemporary Challenges In Takeovers: Avoiding Conflicts, Preserving Confidences And Taming The Commercial Imperative, Andrew F. Tuch
Contemporary Challenges In Takeovers: Avoiding Conflicts, Preserving Confidences And Taming The Commercial Imperative, Andrew F. Tuch
Scholarship@WashULaw
This article discusses contemporary legal, commercial, ethical and other issues that arise in the context of corporate takeover transactions. Due to their complexity and the numerous parties - including deal advisers - they involve, the loyalties of company directors and advisers are frequently tangled, creating legion opportunities for conflicted interests and breached confidences. At the same time, the high status of advising on takeovers and the financial lure they provide produce powerful incentives that inevitably inform the application of legal principles to these issues. The article adopts a hypothetical case study approach to focus on the challenges confronting these parties …
Internal Controls After Sarbanes-Oxley: Revisiting Corporate Law's "Duty Of Care As Responsibility For Systems", Donald C. Langevoort
Internal Controls After Sarbanes-Oxley: Revisiting Corporate Law's "Duty Of Care As Responsibility For Systems", Donald C. Langevoort
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Revisiting section 3.4.2 of Clark's Corporate Law ('Duty of Care as Responsibility for Systems") reminds us, however, that the internal controls story actually goes back many decades, and that many of the strategic issues that are at the heart of section 404 have long been contentious. My Article will briefly update Clark's account through the late 1980s and 1990s before returning to Sarbanes-Oxley and rulemaking thereunder by the SEC and the newly created Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"). My main point builds on one of Clark's but digs deeper. Internal controls requirements, whether federal or state, are incoherent unless …

Deductibility Of Treble Damages Paid For Breach Of National Health Service Corps Scholarship Contracts: The Misuse Of I.R.C. 265(A)(1) In Stroud V. United States And Of The Origin Of The Claim Test In Keane V. Commissioner, Richard C.E. Beck
Articles & Chapters
A deduction for treble damages paid for breach of the taxpayer's National Health Service Corps medical service obligation was erroneously denied under IRC 265(a)(1) in 'Stroud v. US', 906 F. Supp. 990 (1995). The provision does not apply because taxpayer's damages were not a cost of earning a tax-exempt scholarship which had been received many years earlier, but rather a deductible cost of buying out one employment obligation in order to earn taxable income in another. The history of IRC 265(a)(1) is analyzed and criticized. In 'Keane v. CIR', 75 TCM 2046 (1998), the taxpayer's deduction for current interest on …
Corporate Social Accountability Standards In The Global Supply Chain: Resistance, Reconsideration And Resolution In China, Li-Wen Lin
All Faculty Publications
This Article provides a view on corporate social accountability standards from a Chinese perspective, a slightly different angle from that of legal scholars in the United States. The legal literature in the United States typically only focuses on the importance and effectiveness of corporate social accountability standards to regulate the conduct of multinational companies in the era of globalization. However, the views of the outsourced companies in the developing countries on which the multinational companies impose the standards have seldom received attention. This Article tries to fill this void by examining the situation in China. As shown in this Article, …

Decentering The Firm: The Limited Liability Company And Low-Wage Immigrant Women Workers, Miriam A. Cherry
Decentering The Firm: The Limited Liability Company And Low-Wage Immigrant Women Workers, Miriam A. Cherry
Faculty Publications
(Excerpt)
Imagine the following scenario: a group of immigrant women clean houses and offices in the suburbs of a large northeastern city. These workers speak languages other than English. Therefore they depend on an intermediary, another immigrant who has been in the United States for a longer period of time, to solicit jobs, negotiate schedules, and communicate with customers. Although this “intermediary” does not actually perform any of the cleaning work, the intermediary’s “cut,” or share of the income generated, is substantial. The immigrant workers are typically paid a low wage, often averaging below the minimum wage set by the …
Direct Versus Derivative And The Law Of Limited Liability Companies, Daniel S. Kleinberger
Direct Versus Derivative And The Law Of Limited Liability Companies, Daniel S. Kleinberger
Faculty Scholarship
The hybrid nature of limited liability companies causes us to re-invent, or at least re-examine, many doctrinal wheels. This Article will reexamine one of the most practical of those wheels-the distinction between direct and derivative claims in the context of a closely-held limited liability company.
Case law concerning the direct/derivative distinction is still overwhelmingly from the law of corporations, although LLC cases are now being reported with some frequency. LLC cases routinely analogize to, or borrow from, the corporate law. This Article encompasses that law, analyzes LLC developments, and argues that courts should (i) avoid the "special injury" rule, (ii) …
Senior Corporate Officers And The Duty Of Candor: Do The Ceo And Dfo Have A Duty To Inform?, Z. Jill Barclift
Senior Corporate Officers And The Duty Of Candor: Do The Ceo And Dfo Have A Duty To Inform?, Z. Jill Barclift
Faculty Scholarship
This article focuses on the duty to inform as a framework to assess liability of senior officers of public companies who withhold information from directors. The broadening of the definition of the duty to inform that senior officers owe directors to include an underlying affirmative duty to provide information, even when director or shareholder action is not requested, offers an opportunity for greater monitoring of corporate governance by focusing on those often most culpable. Currently, the plain language of Delaware’s delegation of authority statute protects directors who reasonably rely in good faith on the reports of corporate officers. However, officers’ …
The Digital Vat (D-Vat), Richard Thompson Ainsworth
The Digital Vat (D-Vat), Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
The most sustained U.S. tax policy debate of the past 30 years concerns proposals to replace and/ or supplement the Federal Income Tax with a consumption tax. Public finance economists and legal tax policy scholars challenged and defended the current income tax system on grounds of fairness, efficiency, and simplicity.
This debate over revamping the national taxing scheme has not been argued purely in the academic forum. Concrete legislative proposals have been advanced for a national retail sales tax, a European-style Value Added Tax, as well as a whole host of what David Bradford calls "the two-tiered consumption taxes."

Regulating Directors' Duties With Civil Penalties: Taking A Leaf From Australia's Book, Pey Woan Lee
Regulating Directors' Duties With Civil Penalties: Taking A Leaf From Australia's Book, Pey Woan Lee
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article examines whether the use of the criminal penalty as a 'default' sanction for regulating directors' core duties in Singapore is excessive, and if so, whether civil pecuniary penalties ought to be introduced in the reform of the existing sanctions regime. These questions are addressed principally by reference to the Australian experience.
Do Reverse Payment Settlements Violate The Antitrust Laws, Christopher M. Holman
Do Reverse Payment Settlements Violate The Antitrust Laws, Christopher M. Holman
Faculty Works
The term "reverse payment" has been used as shorthand to characterize a variety of diverse agreements between patent owners and alleged infringers that involve a transfer of consideration from the patent owner to the alleged infringer. Reverse payment settlements are particularly associated with drug patent challenges mounted by generic drug companies under the Hatch-Waxman Act. Many, including the Federal Trade Commission, would characterize these agreements as antitrust violations. However, courts have generally declined to find these agreements in violation of the antitrust laws based solely on the presence of a reverse payment.
This article begins in Section II with an …
Restoring Trust In Corporate Directors: The Disney Standard And The ‘New’ Good Faith, Sarah Helene Duggin, Stephen M. Goldman
Restoring Trust In Corporate Directors: The Disney Standard And The ‘New’ Good Faith, Sarah Helene Duggin, Stephen M. Goldman
Scholarly Articles
The purpose of this Article is to explore the parameters and potential impact of the good faith standard articulated in Disney V and clarified in Stone. Part I begins with a brief review of the historical impact of the tension between entrepreneurial freedom and managerial accountability, and Part II explains why the Disney standard differs significantly from the traditional understanding of good faith as the absence of subjective bad faith. Part III points out that the court's use of the language of bad faith to articulate the new good faith may undercut the effectiveness of the standard. It urges further …
The Impact Of The War Over The Corporate Attorney-Client Privilege On The Business Of American Health Care, Sarah Helene Duggin
The Impact Of The War Over The Corporate Attorney-Client Privilege On The Business Of American Health Care, Sarah Helene Duggin
Scholarly Articles
The purpose of this article is to review the current dispute over the corporate attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine and to explore its impact on the provision of health care. The article's principal thesis is that a strong attorney-client privilege, along with robust work product protection, is critical to the business of health care, the quality of medical services, and the effective enforcement of federal and state health care laws. Part I begins with a brief account of the origins and scope of the conflict between federal law enforcement policies and the corporate attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine …
