In her Distress Mergers and Acquisitions column, Corinne Ball discusses a decision that confirms the importance of intercreditor agreements as determinative of rights as among the creditors subject to the contract. This decision gives weight to the view that the bankruptcy court is not an appropriate forum for what is strictly an intercreditor dispute.

Kahen and Elliot Pisem discuss the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, particularly focusing on the loosening of limitations on the use of net operating loss carryovers and carrybacks by corporate and non-corporate taxpayers and of "excess business losses" by non-corporate taxpayers, including shareholders in S corporations and owners of equity interests in entities treated as partnerships for tax purposes.

The SBRA is the federal government's latest effort to make bankruptcy reorganization a more attractive option for small businesses, something particularly important given the potential crippling economic effects of the current pandemic. Barbara M. Goodstein discusses the Act in this edition of her Secured Transactions column.

By Philip M. Berkowitz | March 11, 2020
In this Employment Issues column, Philip M. Berkowitz discusses joint employer status and a number of recent changes on the issue, the upshot of which may be to reduce the number of federal employment related lawsuits and draw more of these claims into state courts, where the laws may be more favorably disposed toward employees, contractors, consultants, and similar workers.

By William F. Johnson | March 4, 2020

In his Corporate Crime column, William F. Johnson explores the historical allegations of such misconduct, the potential for it to occur in the future, and what defense attorneys can do to protect their clients from it.
