A New Associate’S Field Guide To Partner Compensation, Joseph A. Schremmer
A New Associate’S Field Guide To Partner Compensation, Joseph A. Schremmer
Faculty Scholarship
This article surveys three broad models of income and expense allocation regarding law firm compensation for partners: the true partnership model; the modified partnership model; and the eat-what-you-kill model. The goal is for young lawyers to understand the fundamental differences among these compensation models even as there are myriad ways to allocate income and expenses.
Regulating Offshore Finance, William J. Moon
Regulating Offshore Finance, William J. Moon
Faculty Scholarship
From the Panama Papers to the Paradise Papers, massive document leaks in recent years have exposed trillions of dollars hidden in small offshore jurisdictions. Attracting foreign capital with low tax rates and environments of secrecy, a growing number of offshore jurisdictions have emerged as major financial havens hosting thousands of hedge funds, trusts, banks, and insurance companies.
While the prevailing account has examined offshore financial havens as “tax havens” that facilitate the evasion or avoidance of domestic tax, this Article uncovers how offshore jurisdictions enable corporations to evade domestic regulatory law. Specifically, recent U.S. Supreme Court cases restricting the geographic …
Dark Trading At The Midpoint: Does Sec Enforcement Policy Encourage Direct Feed Arbitrage?, Robert P. Bartlett Iii, Justin Mccrary
Dark Trading At The Midpoint: Does Sec Enforcement Policy Encourage Direct Feed Arbitrage?, Robert P. Bartlett Iii, Justin Mccrary
Faculty Scholarship
Prevailing research in market microstructure posits that liquidity providers bypass queue lines on exchanges by offering liquidity in dark venues with de minimis sub-penny price improvement, thus exploiting an exception to the penny quote rule. We show that (a) the SEC enforces the quote rule to prevent sub-penny queuejumping in dark pools unless trades are “pegged” to the NBBO midpoint and (b) the documented increase in dark trading due to investor queue-jumping stems from increased midpoint trading. Although encouraging pegged midpoint orders can subject traders to direct feed arbitrage, we estimate that less than 2% of shares traded per year …
Private Equity's Governance Advantage: A Requiem, Elisabeth De Fontenay
Private Equity's Governance Advantage: A Requiem, Elisabeth De Fontenay
Faculty Scholarship
Private equity’s original purpose was to optimize companies’ governance and operations. Reuniting ownership and control in corporate America, the leveraged buyout (or the mere threat thereof) undoubtedly helped reform management practices in a broad swath of U.S. companies. Due to mounting competitive pressures, however, private equity is finding relatively fewer underperforming companies to fix. This is particularly true of U.S. public companies, which are continuously dogged by activist hedge funds and other empowered shareholders looking for any sign of slack.
In response, private equity is shifting its center of gravity away from governance reform, towards a dizzying array of new …
The Compliance Process, Veronica Root
The Compliance Process, Veronica Root
Faculty Scholarship
Even as regulators and prosecutors proclaim the importance of effective compliance programs, failures persist. Organizations fail to ensure that they and their agents comply with legal and regulatory requirements, industry practices, and their own internal policies and norms. From the companies that provide our news, to the financial institutions that serve as our bankers, to the corporations that make our cars, compliance programs fail to prevent misconduct each and every day. The causes of these compliance failures are multifaceted and include general enforcement deficiencies, difficulties associated with overseeing compliance programs within complex organizations, and failures to establish a culture of …
Successor Ceos, Yaron Nili
Successor Ceos, Yaron Nili
Faculty Scholarship
Recent years have seen a push towards separating the roles of CEO and chairperson of the board. While many companies still maintain a combined CEO-chair role, investors consistently express their concern that the dual CEO-chair position jeopardizes the independence and effectiveness of the board. Yet, while investors and academic research have focused on one channel for achieving such separation—through the appointment of an independent director as chair—a second has been left relatively unexplored. In fact, in many cases, as this Article documents, the separation of CEO-chair has occurred through the second channel: the current CEO-chair steps down as CEO while …
The Outsized Influence Of The Fcpa?, Veronica Root Martinez
The Outsized Influence Of The Fcpa?, Veronica Root Martinez
Faculty Scholarship
The current power and influence of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) is really quite remarkable when one considers the statute was largely ignored for its first twenty-five years of existence. This statute, meant to reign in corruption by United States companies doing business abroad; has generated billions of dollars in revenue for the United States government; prompted the development of law firm practice groups and law school courses; become the subject of numerous scholarly articles; and has, arguably, made anti-bribery efforts the highest of priorities for multinational corporations engaged in robust compliance efforts. Corporations, scholars, and the public would …
The Enduring Distinction Between Business Entities And Security Interests, Ofer Eldar, Andrew Verstein
The Enduring Distinction Between Business Entities And Security Interests, Ofer Eldar, Andrew Verstein
Faculty Scholarship
What are business entities for? What are security interests for? The prevailing answer in legal scholarship is that both bodies of law exist to partition assets for the benefit of designated creditors. But if both bodies of law partition assets, then what distinguishes them? In fact, these bodies of law appear to be converging as increasing flexibility irons out any differences. Indeed, many legal products, such as securitization vehicles, insurance products known as captive insurance, and mutual funds, employ entities to create distinct asset pools. Moreover, recent legal innovations, such as “protected cells,” which were created to facilitate such products, …
