Hutcheon, a partner with Norris McLaughlin & Marcus in Bridgewater, was appointed one of three observers to the American Bar Association Business Law Section’s Beneficial Ownership Task Force, which was created to develop the ABA’s position on disclosure of beneficial ownerships of business entities. Since 9/11, federal and state laws have been proposed and some adopted requiring disclosure of the persons who beneficially own businesses, and the task force is to examine the issue of making ownership information more available to law enforcement and national security personnel, while preserving as much privacy as possible.
