Toward Consistent Fiduciary Duties For Publicly Traded Entities, Sandra K. Miller, Karie Davis-Nozemack
Toward Consistent Fiduciary Duties For Publicly Traded Entities, Sandra K. Miller, Karie Davis-Nozemack
Florida Law Review
After the 2008 recession, it is difficult to imagine that the public is investing billions of dollars in publicly traded entities with little regulation of board conflicts and no fiduciary duty protections. Yet, that is precisely the case for more than $284 billion of investments. Investors have flocked to publicly traded limited partnerships (LPs) and limited liability companies (LLCs), collectively known as master limited partnerships (MLPs), because many are high-performing energy companies with a tax preference. MLP market capitalization, while only $14 billion in 2000, topped $284 billion as of February 2016, and more initial public offerings are on the …

Who Speaks The Culture Of The Corporation?, Gwendolyn Gordon
Who Speaks The Culture Of The Corporation?, Gwendolyn Gordon
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
Recent cases – Burwell v Hobby Lobby Stores and Citizens United chief among them – evince a new understanding of the nature of the corporation and its place in society. Whether a corporation has rights – such as those of religious exercise – is not, however, just a question of legal interpretation. To answer this question requires a theory of group or cultural identity, that is, a theory of how a group may have “culture” separate and apart from those of the individuals that comprise it. And such a theory must address how to understand the meaning of culture when …
Equity In Llc Law?, Mohsen Manesh
Equity In Llc Law?, Mohsen Manesh
Florida State University Law Review
To what extent does equity play a role in LLC law? To what extent do courts retain the judicial discretion “to do right and justice” in circumstances in which the LLC statute and the applicable LLC agreement do not otherwise offer an adequate remedy to an aggrieved LLC member or manager? Until recently, the answer to these questions was quite clear: Equity is subordinate to the freedom of contract and the express terms of the agreement governing an LLC. But the Delaware Chancery Court’s decision in In re Carlisle Etcetera has upended this basic precept of LLC law and practice. …
Why The Burden Of Proving Causation Should Shift To The Defendant Under The New Federal Trade Secrets Act, Robert A. Kearney
Why The Burden Of Proving Causation Should Shift To The Defendant Under The New Federal Trade Secrets Act, Robert A. Kearney
UC Law Business Journal
For years courts in trade secret misappropriation cases have filled up a graveyard with claims that did not account for every possible alternative cause of the Plaintiff’s losses. The result is perverse: the more disruptive the Defendant’s misappropriation, the less likely the Plaintiff will be able to show the jury a clear picture of what happened and prove “but for” causation. But the new federal law frees courts from those cases and from the state misappropriation statutes that produced them. What is needed now is a shift in thinking, and a shift in a burden.
Complying With The Federal Trade Commission’S Disclosure Requirements: What Companies Need To Know When Using Social-Media Platforms As Marketing And Advertising Spaces, Aimee Khuong
UC Law Business Journal
Social-media platforms have become huge marketing and advertising spaces for both well established and start-up companies. In the 1990s, the Internet became a means for companies to communicate with customers and to promote their products and services. Throughout the past decade, the Internet has become a powerful platform that has changed the way companies do business and communicate with their customers. The growth of digital marketing through the Internet resulted in new forms of marketing and advertising space. Nowadays, any business can reach a large market with a very small investment, and anybody that can read and write has the …
Yours, Mine And Ours: A Proposal To Bring Certainty To The Use Of Personal Goodwill In The Sale Of Assets Of A C Corporation, Teri L. K. Shugart
Yours, Mine And Ours: A Proposal To Bring Certainty To The Use Of Personal Goodwill In The Sale Of Assets Of A C Corporation, Teri L. K. Shugart
UC Law Business Journal
Use of a personal goodwill allocation in the sale of assets is the current darling of the tax wonk world, made popular again by the recent case of Bross Trucking v. Commissioner. The ability to allocate some of a corporate seller’s purchase price in a sale of assets to an individual shareholder rather than to the corporation saves that individual shareholder from being subject to the double taxation of a C corporation.
Despite its ability to save on taxes, company advisors are reluctant to allocate part of a purchase price to personal goodwill because of the uncertainty surrounding how to …
The Taxation Of Thieves And Their Victims: Everyone Loses But Uncle Sam, Christine Manolakas
The Taxation Of Thieves And Their Victims: Everyone Loses But Uncle Sam, Christine Manolakas
UC Law Business Journal
The taxation of thieves and their victims must be studied as a whole. Both perpetrators and victims of crime must navigate the complexities of the federal tax laws. Not surprisingly, the decision to tax illegal income resulted in unreported income by criminals and prosecution of criminals by the Treasury Department. The perpetrators of crime must defend a second criminal prosecution, which requires a careful examination of the U.S. Constitution, provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and administrative practices of the Internal Revenue Service. The victims of crime are often in conflict with the Treasury Department as to the inclusion and …
Zappers - Technological Tax Fraud In New Hampshire, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Zappers - Technological Tax Fraud In New Hampshire, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
No other State is as vulnerable to Zappers as is the State of New Hampshire. Zappers and related software programming, Phantom-ware, facilitate an old tax fraud – skimming cash receipts. In this instance skimming is performed with modern electronic cash registers (ECRs). Zappers are a global revenue problem, but to the best of this author’s knowledge they have not been uncovered in New Hampshire. Seen from a global perspective however, it seems unlikely that they are not here.
New Hampshire’s fiscal vulnerability to Zappers comes from its heavy reliance on precisely the industry segment that has been found to be …

The Modern Corporation Statement On Company Law, Lynn A. Stout, Sergio Alberto Gramitto Ricci
Faculty Works
Corporations play a central role in modern economies. Certain beliefs about corporations and corporate law are widely held and relied upon by business experts, the financial press, and economists who study the firm. Unfortunately, some of these widely-held beliefs are mistaken. This has led to numerous common errors in the way corporate law concepts are understood and applied. The authors of this Summary are experts versed in a variety of national legal systems, including those of the U.S. and U.K. as well as the E.U. We provide this simple Summary of certain fundamentals of corporate law, applicable in almost all …
Sales Suppression: The International Dimension, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Sales Suppression: The International Dimension, Richard Thompson Ainsworth
Faculty Scholarship
Sales transaction taxes are highly susceptible to technology fraud, which is an inevitable result of today’s widespread reliance on technology to document taxed transactions. Technology can be (and is) manipulated to defeat the collection of these taxes. Both the U.S. retail sales tax (RST) and the European value added tax (VAT) are vulnerable to technology-based fraud. This Article concerns sales suppression — intentionally not recording sales — in the RST, and at the final stage of the VAT, the retail stage, when tax is collected from final consumers.
The modern electronic cash register (ECR)/point of sale (POS) system is vulnerable …
Using Proactive Legal Strategies For Corporate Environmental Sustainability, Gerlinde Berger-Walliser, Paul Shrivastava, Adam Sulkowski
Using Proactive Legal Strategies For Corporate Environmental Sustainability, Gerlinde Berger-Walliser, Paul Shrivastava, Adam Sulkowski
Michigan Journal of Environmental & Administrative Law
We argue that proactive law can help organizations be more sustainable. Toward that end, this Article first summarizes proactive law literature as it pertains to corporate sustainability. Next, it examines a series of cases on the pivotal nexus between proactive law and corporate sustainability. It then advances novel propositions that connect proactive law to central organizational design elements. The discussion traces further implications and suggests fruitful avenues for research and ways of using proactive law for firms to become more sustainable.
Multinational Firms And Tax Havens, Anna Gumpert, James R. Hines Jr., Monika Schnitzer
Multinational Firms And Tax Havens, Anna Gumpert, James R. Hines Jr., Monika Schnitzer
Articles
Multinational firms with operations in high-tax countries can benefit the most from reallocating taxable income to tax havens, though this is sufficiently difficult and costly that only 20.4% of German multinational firms have any tax haven affiliates. Among German manufacturing firms, a 1 percentage point higher foreign tax rate is associated with a 2.3% greater likelihood of owning a tax haven affiliate. This is consistent with tax avoidance incentives and contrasts with earlier evidence for U.S. firms. The relationship is less strong for firms in service industries, possibly reflecting the difficulty of reallocating taxable service income.
The Islamic Law Perspective Of Precautionary Principle On Transboundary Movement Of Living Modified Organisms (Lmos), Sri Wartini
The Islamic Law Perspective Of Precautionary Principle On Transboundary Movement Of Living Modified Organisms (Lmos), Sri Wartini
Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan
The aim of the research is to examine the Islamic law perspective of precautionary principle on transboundary movement of living modified organisms (hereinafter LMOs) based on maslahah mursalah (public interest) and sadd al-dhara’i (blocking the means). The international trade of LMOs may affect the human health and environment in the importing states. Most of the importing states are Muslim states. Thus, it is important to examine the transboundary movement of LMOs from the Islamic law perspective. In order to elaborate on the issue, the reseach addresses the following questions: First, how is the relationship between man and nature (khalīfahand nature)? …

Disaggregating Corpus Christi: The Illiberal Implications Of Hobby Lobby's Right To Free Exercise, Katharine Jackson
Disaggregating Corpus Christi: The Illiberal Implications Of Hobby Lobby's Right To Free Exercise, Katharine Jackson
Katharine Jackson
This paper first examines and critiques the group rights to religious exercise derived from the three ontologies of the corporation suggested by different legal conceptions of corporate personhood often invoked by Courts. Finding the implicated groups rights inimical to individual religious freedom, the paper then presents an argument as to why a discourse of intra-corporate toleration and voluntariness does a better job at protecting religious liberty.

Small Business Policy Index Traction And Movement In Rankings Of States Update: 2000 To 2016, Pradip K. Shukla, Monica P. Shukla
Business Faculty Articles and Research
Given the volatile economic climate faced in the United States and globally since 2015, there is a desire by politicians in 2016 to increase state economic and business growth. As small businesses are the main driver of business growth in state economies, focus is placed upon the policy environment of a state to encourage state level growth in entrepreneurial activities aimed at small business creation and survival.
The Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council an advocacy and research organization dedicated to protecting small business and promoting entrepreneurship has annually prepared a “Small Business Policy Index” that ranks states according to some …
In Search Of Legal Foundation For Indonesian Family Firms, Yetty Komalasari Dewi
In Search Of Legal Foundation For Indonesian Family Firms, Yetty Komalasari Dewi
Indonesia Law Review
One of the factors that affect Indonesia’s economic growth is the existence of business firms. Most business firms in Indonesia are in the form of family-owned firm, and they are considered to constitute the backbone of the economic development. Family firms represent the most enduring business model in the world. The continuing success of family firms through the generations relies on ensuring the next generation. However, the issue of family firms is rarely discussed in particular from the perspective of corporate law. In fact, from legal perspectives, there are some issues dealing with this type of firm, among other, the …

Regulating Culture: Improving Corporate Governance With Anti-Arbitration Provisions For Whistleblowers, Nizan Geslevich Packin, Ben Edwards
Regulating Culture: Improving Corporate Governance With Anti-Arbitration Provisions For Whistleblowers, Nizan Geslevich Packin, Ben Edwards
William & Mary Law Review Online
A focus on corporate culture, especially at financial institutions, has emerged as a regulatory, public, and media priority in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. With Dodd-Frank, Congress embraced whistleblower statutes as a key instrument to improve corporate culture and governance, and to extirpate undesired and unethical business practices. Despite the clear policy goals, Dodd- Frank’s unclear statutory text has created interpretative controversies. Although Dodd-Frank adds anti-arbitration provisions to preexisting whistleblower statutes, it does not include a dedicated, standalone anti-arbitration provision for Dodd-Frank’s new whistleblower cause of action. This Article argues that courts should not allow employers to use …
