Jackson Walker announced the addition of Larry Glasgow and Richard Waggoner to the Corporate and Securities practice in Dallas.

In a release, the firm said Glasgow and Waggoner each bring to the firm more than 30 years of experience in sophisticated transactions involving mergers and acquisitions and private equity.

“We are thrilled to welcome Larry and Richard to our Corporate and Securities practice,” said Wade Cooper, the firm’s managing partner. “Their experience handling complex corporate matters of all sizes – but more important, their commitment to client service and value – are a great fit for our firm.”

“Larry’s and Richard’s experience coast-to-coast and internationally in a wide range of industries melds well with our practice,” said Dallas partner Richard F. Dahlson, who manages the Corporate and Securities practice group at Jackson Walker. “Larry’s extensive understanding of deal points has helped mold the M&A practice and will provide a tangible benefit for our clients engaged in mergers and acquisitions. Richard is a global corporate law resource who has a well-earned reputation for getting deals done.”

The firm said Glasgow is an M&A attorney who represents acquirers and sellers in transactions ranging in size from mid-market to in excess of $1 billion. He represents clients in the healthcare, energy, banking, trucking, entertainment, hospitality, and technology industries.

“Without a doubt, joining Jackson Walker is a great decision for my clients and for myself,” Glasgow said. “I look forward to not only benefitting from but contributing to the valuable resources of Jackson Walker’s Chambers-ranked Corporate group to better serve clients.”

The firm said he co-founded the American Bar Association’s M&A Deal Points Studies and the M&A Market Trends Subcommittee. He also co-founded and annually co-chairs the University of Texas School of Law’s Mergers and Acquisitions Institute, which brings together practitioners and experts to evaluate current M&A trends, opportunities, and concerns facing the finance, accounting, and legal industries.

The firm said Glasgow has been consistently recognized by The Best Lawyers in America for M&A and corporate law. He has also been listed among the top rated lawyers in M&A and healthcare by The American Lawyer and Corporate Counsel as well as for international M&A by Who’s Who Legal.

Richard L. Waggoner is an M&A lawyer who counsels sophisticated investors and issuers on private equity transactions, governance, contracts, and general corporate legal needs, the firm said. He also regularly counsels boards of directors and board committees on matters of corporate governance. Over the years, he has advised clients on distressed acquisition opportunities, creation of expansion capital, and strategies to deal with the growing reluctance of banks to fund large and highly leveraged deals.

Since 2016, Richard has been recognized among The Best Lawyers in America for Corporate Law, and has also been listed in Thomson Reuters’ “Texas Super Lawyers” list for M&A.

“I pride myself on getting deals done as efficiently as possible,” Waggoner said. “Joining Texas powerhouse Jackson Walker enables me to offer tremendous value to my clients around the world. Jackson Walker has nationally recognized subject matter experts in all areas. My clients are very excited about this move.”

Glasgow and Waggoner join Dallas real estate partners Cynthia Brotman Nelson, George C. Dunlap, Jr., Kevin L. Kelley, and Scott Tuthill as the most recent partner additions at Jackson Walker.

“The move to Jackson Walker has been a great one for me and my clients,” said Kelley, who joined the firm after serving as chair of the real estate practice at his previous firm. “In my short time here, I’ve already seen firsthand how Jackson Walker emphasizes client service and efficiency.”

Global Investigations Review (GIR) honored Sidley Austin’s Washington, D.C. partner Karen A. Popp with its inaugural “Award for Services to Diversity.”

Popp was lauded for her “great commitment to improving women’s positions in the workplace,” both within Sidley and in the wider white collar defense and investigations world. GIR commended Popp for her leadership in developing Sidley’s firmwide women’s program, forming the D.C. office’s Diversity Committee for racial, ethnic and LGBT communities, and serving as the first Chair of Sidley’s D.C. Women’s Committee.

She was also cited for serving on Sidley’s task forces on Diversity and Women, formed by the Executive Committee. Popp was praised for co-founding the Women in White Collar Defense Association, which she launched along with Beth Wilkinson in 1999 shortly after leaving government and noticing the distinct lack of female practitioners on panels or among the attendees at the American Bar Institute’s Annual National Institute on White Collar Crime.

GIR credited Popp’s vision and “impressive leadership and interpersonal skills” with the “extraordinary growth” of the organization which has grown to 30 chapters with more than 1,400 members across the world in less than 20 years.

At Sidley, Popp is the global co-leader of the firm’s White Collar: Government Litigation & Investigations group. She has a practice representing companies and individuals in high-profile matters with legal, political and public relations components, such as corporate criminal defense, internal investigations, SEC Enforcement, Congressional investigations, OIG and State Attorney General actions, corporate compliance, and litigation.

Under California’s groundbreaking privacy law, general counsel face stringent compliance requirements for managing the personal data of consumers, including personal data shared with third parties, points out the Association of Corporate Counsel.

The issue can be far-reaching, considering that 60 percent of a company’s personal data resides with third parties, the ACC says on its website.

“Companies must take stock of what personal data their company has, where it resides, how long it’s retained, and third parties with whom they share their data. Third-party diligence is explicit or implied in the CCPA, the GDPR, Colorado’s Privacy Legislation, 23 NYCRR 500, and many others,” the organization warns.

The ACC has posted a white paper titled “Third-Party Data Compliance” to review seven important considerations for every general counsel. The paper can be downloaded at no charge.

The ACC  provides its Vendor Risk Service, the world’s only third-party diligence process designed specifically to help corporate legal teams rapidly assess third parties and meet compliance requirements.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Democrats, though narrowly outnumbered in the Senate, are embarking on a Hail Mary campaign to block President Trump’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Reporter Sarah D. Wire explains: “Flipping a moderate Republican is probably their only hope. And that only works if they can keep Democrats who represent red states that Trump won from breaking ranks.”

Democrats are planning to stress Trump’s repeated promises to only appoint justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.

Wire quotes Brian Fallon, Hillary Clinton’s former press secretary, who now runs the liberal advocacy group Demand Justice: “While these litmus-test-style commitments may have been politically sensible for Donald Trump at the time when he was running in the campaign in 2016, we believe they will come back to haunt his nominee in this summer’s confirmation battle.”

Energy giant Halliburton failed to act as two Muslim workers in North Texas were regularly harassed about their religion by supervisors and co-workers, the federal government alleges in a lawsuit.

Bloomberg Law reports the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleges Hassan Snoubar and Mir Ali were harassed and otherwise discriminated against because of their national origin. Snoubar is from Syria, and Ali is from India. Both worked for Halliburton Energy Services Inc. as operator assistants, the EEOC says.

Reporter Patrick Dorrian  writes: “The lawsuit continues the agency’s crackdown on employer practices or other workplace behaviors that target workers who are Muslim or Sikh, or of Arab, Middle Eastern, or South Asian descent. Eliminating such discrimination is one of the federal job rights watchdog’s top enforcement priorities.”

The International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC) recently submitted to the Law Commission of Ontario (LCO) recommendations for reform to the Ontario Class Proceedings Act (CPA) that could eventually affect class action legislation in Ontario and other Canadian provinces.

The IADC began the initiative in 2014 by forming its Canadian Class Actions Task Force to study and develop positions on key issues that the Ontario government asked the LCO to consider. The LCO has described the project as the most comprehensive assessment of the CPA in more than 25 years.

In a release, the organization said the Task Force is made up of IADC members who are lawyers with class action experience in Canada, the United States and Australia. The Task Force also includes representation from Lawyers for Civil Justice, DRI – The Voice of the Defense Bar and the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel, all of which have members who represent and serve as in-house attorneys with companies exposed to class actions in Ontario. All of these organizations, along with the Canadian Defence Lawyers and the Product Liability Advisory Council, supported the Task Force’s submission to the LCO.

The release continues:

“The IADC is committed to improving civil justice, and to positive reform of the civil justice system. This includes ensuring fairness in the judicial process and a proper balance between plaintiffs and defendants in litigation procedures in the United States, Canada and other countries as well,” said Gordon McKee, an IADC board member, chair of the Canadian Class Actions Task Force, and a partner at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP in Toronto. “When the Law Commission of Ontario requested stakeholder input as part of itsreview of class action procedures, the IADC committed to responding on behalf of its members who represent corporate defense interests.”

IADC members include lawyers with large and small law firms, senior counsel in corporate law departments, and corporate and insurance executives. A significant number of IADC members are Canadian, and many other IADC members represent multinational companies with subsidiaries that do business in Canada and/or that have been defendants in class actions in Ontario and other parts of Canada.

“Our corporate defense perception is that class action procedures in Ontario currently are unbalanced and unduly tilted in favor of plaintiffs, and a more level procedural playing field between plaintiffs and defendants is required to achieve fairness and judicial economy,” said Peter J. Pliszka, also a member of the IADC and its Canadian Class Actions Task Force, as well as a partner with Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP in Toronto.“We want to help ensure access to just outcomes that are not driven by matters extraneous to the merits of a case.”

McKee added that, for example, the current regime in Ontario can create undue pressure on companies to settle class actions for extraneous reasons such as the high cost of defense, potential impact on shareholder value or business transactions, and negative publicity surrounding a claim regardless of its lack of merit.

The IADC’s Canadian Class Actions Task Forcerecommendations for more fair and efficient class proceedings in Ontario include:

– Adding a merits analysis prior to or at certification, and giving the court more ability to critically review evidence, to weed out class actions with little or no merit, and to narrow overly broad class actions at an early stage;

– Requiring the court to consider coordinated case management and discovery as an alternative to a class action where there are a small number of cases, to allow more timely and proportionate resolution of the claims of the putative class members;

– Allowing plaintiffs and defendants equal opportunities to appeal certification decisions, and discouraging wasted resources and costs caused by material changes to the class claims/issues/definition on appeal;

– Codifying transparency and other requirements for third-party litigation funding to prevent unfairness to the parties or the class members and to remove incentives to fund claims with little or no merit; and

– Adopting provisions to address overlapping class proceedings in multiple provinces, including requiring a certification judge to consider whether he or she should defer to an overlapping class action in another jurisdiction.

After considering input from the IADC and other submissions, the LCO says it plans to issue a final report to the Ontario government at the end of this year or in early 2019. It is expected that the LCO’s report will also be carefully considered by governments in other Canadian provinces.

A lack of precision in responding to an offer can lead to confusion as to whether or not a contract has been formed, warns an article published by Burns & Levinson on JDSupra.com.

The article discusses  APB Realty, Inc. v. Geogia-Pacific LLC, a case involving a contract negotiation for the purchase of 88 rail cars. During the negotiation, Georgia-Pacific offered two options to APB, the buyer. After APB said it was leaning toward one of the options, Georgia-Pacific’s broker told APB that his client had accepted a higher offer.

APB sued for breach of contract.

The article says that “the First Circuit held that because APB might be able to prove that a contract between it and Georgia-Pacific was formed, it would be improper to throw out the lawsuit on a motion to dismiss. Thus, while APB is a long way from winning its suit, at least it is in the fight.”

A podcast posted by Pepper Hamilton discusses the definition of fixed-price contracts and cases in which the audit provision in the contract has been unsuccessfully used to assert claims for reimbursement and False Claims Act liability.

“Fixed-price contracts are well-known among contractors,” the firm says on its website. “These agreements seem simple — they do not allow the contract price to be modified after the award unless the parties expressly agree. But is it really that simple? In reality, there is very little case law guiding the practical approach to these types of contracts.”

In the podcast, Marion Hack, a partner in Pepper’s Construction Practice Group, discusses these types of contracts.

Keila Ravelo, a former partner at Hunton & Williams and Willkie Farr & Gallagher, was disbarred in New York for approving payments of nearly $8 million to her ex-convict husband’s companies in exchange for “little or no services,” Bloomberg Law reports.

Ravelo’s disbarment was retroactive as of her November 2017 guilty plea to federal wire fraud and tax evasion charges.

Ravelo was accused in 2014 of conspiring to defraud Hunton, Willkie, and MasterCard by submitting false invoices for several million dollars to two litigation support vendors she and her husband controlled, a court found.

Sentencing is scheduled for September. A plea agreement calls for imprisonment for 48-72 months.

A former partner at a major U.S. law firm who spent two decades as a fugitive while avoiding charges that he ran a fraudulent investment scheme has pleaded guilty to carrying out a different scam while living in Massachusetts under an alias, according to Reuters.

Scott Wolas, 69, pleaded guilty in Boston federal court to defrauding 20 investors in two real estate projects out of $1.7 million while he was using someone else’s identity, Nate Raymond reports.

In the 1990s, Wolas was a litigator in the New York office of Hunton & Williams. Authorities said he fled about the time of a 1997 indictment in New York and turned up in Florida where he became a securities broker while using a college roommate’s name. When he was facing charges in Florida, he moved to Massachusetts, where he used various names while working as a real estate agent.

Bloomberg is reporting that Wynn Resorts Ltd., whose founder stepped down earlier this year over allegations of sexual harassment, said General Counsel Kim Sinatra left her position, marking another high-profile change at the casino company.

Reporters Rob Golum and Scott Moritz write: “Her departure follows other top-level moves at the Las Vegas-based company since the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Steve Wynn in February. Six board members announced they were leaving; three new ones were added, all of them women. Meanwhile, the new CEO, Matt Maddox, has been trying to distance the company from the regime of his predecessor, even going so far as to drop the Wynn name from the new casino the company is building near Boston.”

Sinatra has been general counsel at Wynn since 2004.

Because law firms are such desirable targets for hackers, firms have had to find solutions for keeping the intruders at bay. They can use internal systems managed by employees of the firm, or they can go to a cloud-based solution, such as software-as-a-service (SaaS).

Writing for Above the Law, Scheef & Stone partner Tom Kulik points out that SaaS platforms can help offset the cost by offloading technical and security expertise to the SaaS provider. But the standard contract terms offered by these providers do not weigh in favor of the law firm.

In the article, Kulik discusses some points to consider when a firm is considering entering into a contract for SaaS.

More and more cases are being submitted to arbitration as a result of pre-dispute contractual clauses, point out John P. DiBlasi and Jacqueline I. Silvey in an article for National Arbitration and Mediation.

“In other words, at the time of entering into the contract, it is wise to make sure the contract contains a clause that provides for arbitration in the event of a future dispute,” they write. “These clauses are found in all types of agreements and in a myriad of contract forms involving construction, consumer financing, employment, insurance, rendering of professional services, sale of goods, and others.”

The article covers the basics of the arbitration clause and the administration of the process in a dispute.
