Say On Pay And The Sec Disclosure Rules: Expressive Law And Ceo Compensation , Sandeep Gopalan Mar 2012

Say On Pay And The Sec Disclosure Rules: Expressive Law And Ceo Compensation , Sandeep Gopalan

Pepperdine Law Review

The debate over the lack of correlation between CEO compensation and performance has caused a divide amongst corporate law scholars. Proponents of intervention have predictably welcomed the legislative activity and have called for more. This article argues that the legislative and regulatory interventions by the state are in furtherance of the expressive functions of the law, and that even in the absence of sanctions such expressive laws can have an affect on behavior. It argues that while legislative and regulatory actions can express certain norms, they are ultimately unlikely to be of much help in behavior modification unless accompanied by …


Ten Essential Elements Of An Effective Dispute Resolution Program , Stephen F. Gates Feb 2012

Ten Essential Elements Of An Effective Dispute Resolution Program , Stephen F. Gates

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

For an organization with a significant number of outstanding lawsuits and pre-litigation claims, it is important to have a comprehensive and disciplined program of managing disputes to produce optimal outcomes with consistency, effectiveness and cost efficiency. Based on my experience at large, complex industrial companies with well over 2,000 litigation matters outstanding at any time, the effective management of the dispute portfolio requires that each matter be managed effectively and that more matters be resolved each year than the number of new matters that arise. The focus of this article is corporate law departments, but the concepts are applicable to …


Negotiating A Deal In Korea: Reflections Of A Battle-Scarred Veteran, Michael E. Zacharia Feb 2012

Negotiating A Deal In Korea: Reflections Of A Battle-Scarred Veteran, Michael E. Zacharia

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

In 1996, for an international widget company focused on selling to the Japanese tourist and looking to expand its business, Korea was the Promised Land. Korea had a widget business well in excess of (U.S.) $500 million, and was the second most popular Japanese tourist destination. No foreign companies were in the market, and my client BWC (a world-renowned widget company), sought to change that. They did, for a while. This paper analyzes select aspects of the twelve months of Round One negotiations that led to the triumphant signing of a Joint Venture Agreement with SY, a leading Korean widget …


The Strategic Relationship Between Ethics And Dispute Resolution: What Every Ceo Should Know, Mary L. Walker, R. Philip Deavel Feb 2012

The Strategic Relationship Between Ethics And Dispute Resolution: What Every Ceo Should Know, Mary L. Walker, R. Philip Deavel

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

This article advocates that there is a dynamic relationship between a values-based ethics program and a commitment to dispute resolution that can revolutionize the way we think about both. The United States Air Force is a global organization with many relationships, including those with other governments, other federal agencies, corporate contractors and its members and employees. Hence, these concepts are not academic to us-they are the lifeblood that allows us to successfully accomplish our mission. But they also have implications for our corporate partners. Why would we have an interest in how private corporations approach the subjects of ethics and …


Why We Still Litigate, Phillip M. Armstrong Feb 2012

Why We Still Litigate, Phillip M. Armstrong

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The benefits of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR"), particularly mediation, are well documented and often touted. Some of these benefits are: cost savings, confidentiality, preservation of business relationships, finality, better outcomes, and more control. The list goes on, and rightfully so. The Comell/PERC study and the more recent BTI study, among others, have made it clear that corporate America has embraced ADR, particularly mediation, as a preferred means of resolving many disputes. As a long-time member of an in-house law department, I have watched our own management of commercial litigation and claims evolve from a typical "winner takes all" approach to …

Taking Healthcare's Pulse: Legal Issues Involved In Healthcare Business Transactions, Renee A. Pistone Jan 2012

Taking Healthcare's Pulse: Legal Issues Involved In Healthcare Business Transactions, Renee A. Pistone

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

There are many federal regulations to consider when a healthcare lawyer creates and evaluates a particular healthcare business transaction. The healthcare market is highly competitive with the formation of healthcare business transactions on the rise. Hospitals and physicians seek dynamic and cost effective ways to deliver healthcare and partnerships are being formed between physicians and hospitals. These partnerships add to the marked increase in healthcare business transactions along with the progressed development of the physician hospital organization (“PHO”). Attorneys who execute healthcare business transactions on behalf of clients have to follow the federal laws. Part I sets forth potential ethics …
