The Up-C Revolution, Gregg D. Polsky, Adam H. Rosenzweig
The Up-C Revolution, Gregg D. Polsky, Adam H. Rosenzweig
Scholarly Works
Over the past few years, a revolutionary new tax structure, known as the Up-C, has become increasingly popular, particularly in instances where an LLC is being taken public. In such an Up-C IPO, a newly formed C corporation is placed on top of the existing LLC, which continues to operate the business. Shares of the C corporation are sold to new investors, and the proceeds are used by the C corporation to buy an interest in the LLC. Meanwhile, the legacy owners of the LLC (typically, founders and private investment funds) retain their interests in the LLC, while receiving exchange …
Center-Left Politics And Corporate Governance: What Is The 'Progressive' Agenda?, Christopher Bruner
Center-Left Politics And Corporate Governance: What Is The 'Progressive' Agenda?, Christopher Bruner
Scholarly Works
For as long as corporations have existed, debates have persisted among scholars, judges, and policymakers regarding how best to describe their form and function as a positive matter, and how best to organize relations among their various stakeholders as a normative matter. This is hardly surprising given the economic and political stakes involved with control over vast and growing "corporate" resources, and it has become commonplace to speak of various approaches to corporate law in decidedly political terms. In particular, on the fundamental normative issue of the aims to which corporate decision-making ought to be directed, shareholder-centric conceptions of the …
Does Shareholder Voting Matter? Evidence From The Takeover Market, Paul Mason, Usha Rodrigues, Mike Stegemoller, Steven Utke
Does Shareholder Voting Matter? Evidence From The Takeover Market, Paul Mason, Usha Rodrigues, Mike Stegemoller, Steven Utke
Scholarly Works
Voting rights are a basic shareholder-protection mechanism. Outside of the core voting requirements state law imposes (election of directors and votes on fundamental changes), federal law grants shareholders additional voting rights. But these rights introduce concomitant costs into corporate governance. Each grant of a voting right thus invites the question: is the benefit achieved worth the cost the vote imposes?
The question is not merely a theoretical one. Recently the SEC, concerned about Nasdaq’s potential weakening of shareholder voting protections, has lamented that little evidence exists on the value of the shareholder vote. This Article provides that evidence. It examines …
Corporate Governance Reform In Post-Crisis Financial Firms: Two Fundamental Tensions, Christopher Bruner
Corporate Governance Reform In Post-Crisis Financial Firms: Two Fundamental Tensions, Christopher Bruner
Scholarly Works
The manner in which financial firms are governed directly impacts the stability and sustainability of both the financial sector and the "real" economy, as the financial crisis and associated regulatory reform efforts have tragically demonstrated. However, two fundamental tensions continue to complicate efforts to reform corporate governance in post-crisis financial firms. The first relates to reliance on increased equity capital as a buffer against shocks and a means of limiting leverage. The tension here arises from the fact that no corporate constituency desires risk more than equity does, and that risk preference only tends to be stronger in banks, and …
Publicly Funded Private Security: A Critical Examination Of Georgia Law Pertaining To The Private Employment Of Off-Duty Police Officers, Ryan L. Giles
Georgia Law Review
Generally, employers of private security guards are
vicariously liable for the actions of their employees. This
incentivizes employers to protect against unnecessary risks
to the public and to internalize the social costs of their
business activities. In Georgia, however, this centuries-old
doctrine of respondeat superior does not apply when a
private business hires an off-duty police officer.
Several consequences arise from the current state of the
law: inconsistency in application, unfairness to victims
and imprudent taxpayer subsidization of private
businesses. This Note illustrates that the current law is
both unjust and unwise by contrasting business liability
for police torts with …

Restoring The Promise Of The Shareholder Derivative Suit, John Matheson
Restoring The Promise Of The Shareholder Derivative Suit, John Matheson
Georgia Law Review
The most fundamental and perplexing question in all of corporate law is how to ensure that the board of directors and corporate officers faithfully serve the interests of the corporation and its owners, the shareholders. A primary means of answering that challenge has been the implication and enforcement of directors' and officers' fiduciary duties to the corporation by means of the shareholder derivative action. Almost from its inception, however, the derivative suit has been subject to jaundiced treatment by companies, legislatures, and courts. The result is a costly, tortured derivative suit process unrelated to the merits of the underlying claims …
The Enduring Legacy Of Modern Efficient Market Theory After Halliburton V. John, Mark Klock
The Enduring Legacy Of Modern Efficient Market Theory After Halliburton V. John, Mark Klock
Georgia Law Review
In 1988 the U.S. Supreme Court approved the fraud on the market theory for securities trading in an efficient market thus enabling securities class action plaintiffs to establish their required reliance element of the case through a rebuttable presumption. Basic v. Levinson held that efficient markets incorporate publicly disseminated information and investors who purchased or sold securities in an efficient market therefore relied on any publicly disseminated misinformation. For more than a quarter century since Basic, the efficient market theory has sustained a barrage of assaults from commentators who object to the use of economic theory in legal decision making …
