Debtor Strategies for Avoiding Unfavorable Tax

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:04:08 GMT

The treatment of loans to a debtor’s former employees can result in unforeseen and unfavorable tax consequences. An unwary trustee or administrator of a plan of reorganization (each, a “Responsible Individual”) who employs the wrong approach can expose the estate to unanticipated payroll tax liability. Moreover, if the Responsible Individual fails to reserve sufficient funds for payment of such payroll tax liability, he may be forced to pay such liability out of his own pocket. As a result, it is critical that a Responsible Individual be familiar with the issues and employ the strategies discussed herein.

(New York, July 16, 2008) – Oscar Pistorius has announced today that he has sent a letter to the International Association of Athletics Federations ("IAAF") warning them that their recent statements to the press pressuring the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee ("SASCOC") not to select Pistorius as a member of the South African 2008, 4 x 400m relay team that is slated to participate in the Beijing Olympics next month is a violation of the recent unanimous ruling of the Court of Arbitration for Sport ("CAS"). This decision confirmed that Mr. Pistorius is fully eligible to participate in all able bodied events sanctioned by the IAAF as well as the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Mr. Pistorius has advised the IAAF that he will defend his right to compete without interference against able-bodied athletes, through new legal action, if the IAAF does not cease violating the CAS decision.

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Represents NFLPA and NBPA in Landmark Ruling

Tue, 25 May 2010 10:35:32 GMT

(New York, May 24, 2010) — In one of the most important sports law cases in decades, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against the National Football League (NFL) in its bid to be viewed as a single enterprise immune from antitrust scrutiny.

In reversing an appellate court’s prior ruling, the Court found that the 32 NFL teams do not act as a “single entity” such that they are completely exempt from Section 1 of the Sherman Act. Specifically, in a 9-0 decision, the Court held that NFL teams do not possess the “complete unity of interest” necessary for an exemption. Instead, each team is a separately-owned business entity competing vigorously against the others, both on the field and off.

The case was brought by American Needle, an apparel maker from Illinois, that lost its contract with the league when the NFL entered into an exclusive 10-year, $250 million deal with Reebok in late 2000 to produce league-branded merchandise. American Needle’s suit claimed that the teams of the NFL colluded to limit competition in violation of the antitrust laws.

The NFL Players Association and NBA Players Association, both represented by Dewey & LeBoeuf, joined with the players unions from all of the major professional sports to file a first-of-its-kind joint amicus brief opposing the NFL’s position in the matter.

The Dewey & LeBoeuf team was led by Partners Jeffrey Kessler and David Feher, who co-chair the firm’s Sports Litigation Practice, as well as Partner David Turetsky. Counsel Robin Moore played a significant role in the briefing process.

The ruling came in the case American Needle Inc. v. National Football League. Although the case arose from an apparel license, the decision has a broad impact on the business of the NFL as a whole, ranging from the price of tickets to free agency.

Rino Caiazzo Joins Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf as Partner and Head of the Italian Antitrust Practice

Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:55:35 GMT

Five lawyers join the firm

(Rome, July 14, 2010) – Dewey & LeBoeuf is pleased to announce that Rino Caiazzo has joined the firm as a partner in the Rome office and will lead its newly formed Italian Antitrust Practice Group.

Mr. Caiazzo has an extensive background in competition, energy, telecommunications, corporate and M&A, EU and finance law. He was Vice Chairman of the Committee for Competition and International Trade for the International Bar Association (IBA) and Honorary Chairman of the LSE Italian Alumni Association. He is currently Honorary Legal Adviser to the UK Ambassador to Italy.

Mr. Caiazzo teaches competition law at the Roma Tre University and he is a lecturer of Competition and Market Regulations for the Masters Program at Tor Vergata University in Rome. He is the author of several publications on antitrust law, a topic on which he is a frequent speaker at both Italian and international seminars.

Formerly at the law firm of Ughi e Nunziante, Mr. Caiazzo will be joined by his team in the Rome office, including Associates Kathleen Stagi, Daniele Pilla, Francesca Costantini, and Enrico Di Tomaso.

"We are very excited that Rino will be joining our growing Italian practice," said Steven H. Davis, chairman of Dewey & LeBoeuf. "His extensive experience in antitrust and competition law will help strengthen our global reach and serve our clients on a broader basis."

With this addition, the number of lawyers at Dewey & LeBoeuf in Italy increases to 127 professionals, including 30 partners and four of counsel.

Following the recent arrivals of Partners Angelo Zambelli (employment law) and Lorenzo Parola (energy law), Rino Caiazzo’s addition reflects the current expansion strategy of the partners to offer clients a full service firm capable of integrating services throughout its practice areas.

Dewey LeBoeuf Files Amicus Brief in Support of the DOJ

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:59:55 GMT

(NEW YORK – October 5, 2010) – Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP filed a brief on behalf of the Government of Mexico in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals supporting the U.S. Department of Justice in the case United States of America v. State of Arizona, No. 10-16645 (2010), which seeks to affirm the District of Arizona’s preliminary injunction of controversial provisions of Arizona’s recent immigration statute, Arizona Senate Bill 1070, 49th Leg., 2nd Reg. Sess., Ch. 113 (Az. 2010), as amended, known as SB 1070. The provisions in questions are sections 2(B), 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070.

The law, which has been widely criticized by civil rights groups and others since its inception, was enacted by Arizona, allegedly in response to its dissatisfaction with the lack of comprehensive federal legislation and action regarding immigration reform. Arizona mentions the Border States, in particular, as those most affected. In the view of many, SB 1070 addresses these issues in a dangerous and unconstitutional manner including rendering failure to carry immigration papers a separate state criminal offense under section 3. In addition, sections 2(B) and 6 of SB 1070 compel local police, under the standards of reasonable suspicion and probable cause, without appropriate and clear safeguards against racial-ethnic profiling, to investigate, detain and arrest, without a warrant, anyone suspected of being unlawfully present in the United States. Section 5 creates a crime for unauthorized immigrants to solicit, apply for, or perform work. Arizona has chosen not to avail itself of existing delegated authority from the federal government, with federal oversight and approval, to use current law to constitutionally assist in immigration enforcement.

On July 28, 2010, one day before it would have gone into effect, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton granted the U.S.’s request for a preliminary injunction of sections 2(B), 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070 on the grounds that such sections were likely preempted by federal law, and thereby prevented them from taking effect until the dispute regarding SB 1070’s constitutionality is resolved. The next day, the State of Arizona and Governor Brewer filed an expedited appeal at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In their brief, they argued that the District Court erred in finding that the U.S. was likely to prove that the relevant sections were unconstitutional on their face. In its response, the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the U.S. Congress has enacted a comprehensive framework to govern immigration matters, and that Arizona’s attempt to establish an independent state enforcement scheme outside federal control is unconstitutional.

In support of the United States, the Government of Mexico has taken the position as amicus curiae that the District Court correctly enjoined sections 2(B), 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070. It also underscored its duty to protect its national interest and to ensure that Mexican ethnic and national origin are not used as criteria for discriminatory treatment. Mexico also noted the adverse impact which SB 1070 could have on U.S.–Mexico bilateral relations if the statute’s controversial provisions were not enjoined and eventually declared invalid by the Court.

The Governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru filed motions to join Mexico’s brief and have been added as amici to this case supporting Mexico’s arguments.

Dewey and LeBoeuf is representing the Government of Mexico, as well as the Governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru in this matter on a pro bono basis. The co-authors of the brief are Partner Henry Solano, and Associates Carla Gorniak and Christopher R. Clark. Additionally, Associates Virginia Medina and Lucericia Messiah, and Paralegal Lucy Stonehill assisted with the research and preparation of the brief.

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Strengthens Antitrust Practice with Addition of Roxann E. Henry

Fri, 04 Mar 2011 09:55:47 GMT

(WASHINGTON, DC – March 4, 2011) – Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is pleased to announce that Roxann E. Henry has joined the firm’s Antitrust Practice Group as a partner in the Washington, DC office. She was most recently at the Howrey firm.

"We are delighted to have Roxann joining us," said Partner A. Paul Victor, co-chair of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s Antitrust Practice Group. "She is an outstanding and versatile antitrust lawyer and enjoys an excellent domestic and international reputation in the global antitrust community. She will help us immensely build our antitrust practice, especially in our Washington, D.C. office. I very much look forward to working with her in these endeavors."

"We have been looking for an antitrust star to deepen and enhance our already strong Washington, DC and global antitrust practice," said Dewey & LeBoeuf Global Litigation Chair Jeffrey Kessler. "Roxann is the perfect candidate to do this and we could not be more excited by her decision to join us."

Ms. Henry has extensive experience in all aspects of antitrust, from criminal defense and treble damage litigation to merger and non-merger investigations. She regularly represents clients in antitrust grand jury investigations, including international cartel matters, and has particular expertise coordinating defenses worldwide. Ms. Henry has served as lead counsel in various complex civil commercial disputes, including antitrust, RICO, contract and tort claims. She regularly handles merger antitrust clearances, including Nestlé’s $40 billion sale of Alcon stock to Novartis. She also secured the first court victory in over a decade against a Federal Trade Commission non-healthcare merger challenge. Her breadth of experience encompasses the Federal Trade Commission, every regional office of the Antitrust Division of the US Department of Justice, state attorneys general and a variety of foreign authorities, including the EC and Canadian Competition Bureau.

Ms. Henry is currently the International Officer of the Antitrust Section of the American Bar Association, and was previously the Secretary and Communications Officer and Co-Chair of the Spring Meeting Program. She holds a J.D. from Rutgers University School of Law and an A.B. from Vassar College.

Ms. Henry’s move to Dewey & LeBoeuf reunites her with several former colleagues. In January, Henry Bunsow, former vice-chair of Howrey, Denise De Mory and Brian Smith joined the firm’s Intellectual Property Litigation Practice as partners in the San Francisco office, and in October 2010 Partner Joseph Lavelle, also formerly of Howrey, joined the Washington, DC office.

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:38:26 GMT

(WASHINGTON, DC – March 21, 2011) – Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is pleased to announce that Marc Schildkraut has joined the firm’s Antitrust Practice Group as a partner in the Washington, DC office. His arrival follows that of antitrust Partners Roxann Henry, M.J. Moltenbrey and Jacqueline I. Grise and Of Counsel Mark Schechter, who have joined the firm in Washington, DC during March 2011. All were previously with the Howrey firm.

Jeffrey Kessler, Dewey & LeBoeuf Global Litigation Chairman said, "Marc’s arrival in our Washington antitrust practice brings further key skills to a team which has been significantly strengthened in the past two weeks. With Marc, Roxann, M.J., Jacqueline and Mark working alongside our existing global antitrust team, we are able to offer our clients what is undoubtedly one of the strongest practices in the market."

Mr. Schildkraut has extensive experience with merger and antitrust litigation and investigations. He frequently represents clients through Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proceedings and has secured antitrust approval for every merger case he has worked on as lead attorney. Highlights of his career to date include advising Texaco on its merger with Chevron, representing McDonnell Douglas on its merger with Boeing and representing Western Petroleum in FTC v. Paul Foster, Western Refining and Giant Industries.

Mr. Schildkraut was formerly the Assistant Director at the FTC’s Bureau of Competition. In that position, he scrutinized hundreds of major mergers, and was selected for the FTC’s top litigator award.

Roxann Henry commented, "I’m delighted that Marc is joining us at Dewey & LeBoeuf. In my long experience of working with him, he has consistently provided the right guidance to secure his client’s objectives. He brings vast experience, including not only his work at the FTC and in the energy, pharma and high tech areas, but also his history of insightful problem solving."

A. Paul Victor, co-chair of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s Antitrust Practice Group added, "We have added significant resources to our global Antitrust Practice Group. In 2010 we made key hires in Italy and Germany, and we have now complemented that growth with some of the leading US antitrust lawyers."

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Expands International Arbitration Practice with Addition of Pieter Bekker

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:30:15 GMT

(NEW YORK, March 30, 2011) – Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is pleased to announce that Dr. Pieter Bekker has joined the firm’s International Arbitration and Cross-Border Dispute Resolution Practice Group. He joins from Crowell & Moring where he was Head of Public International Law.

Dr. Bekker’s arrival follows that of Partner James Carter who joined the firm’s International Arbitration Practice in January 2011 from Sullivan & Cromwell where he was co-coordinator of their International Arbitration practice.

"We’re delighted to have Pieter join the firm," said Dr. Derek Smith, co-chair of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s International Arbitration and Cross-Border Dispute Resolution Practice Group. "His arrival, along with the recent addition of Jim Carter, adds significant depth and experience to our firm’s arbitration and public international law capabilities and solidifies our place among the top echelon firms in these areas."

A Dutch native, Dr. Bekker focuses his practice on international dispute avoidance and resolution, with particular experience in arbitration and litigation matters, and counseling on public international law, in which he holds a doctorate. In international arbitration matters, he draws upon a particularly rich background, having been educated and having practiced, in both Europe and the United States, in Civil law, Common law, and public international law. He also advises private and public sector clients on a wide range of issues relating to private and public international law, including issues of immunity, enforcement, investment, the law of the sea, treaty law, and state responsibility. He regularly represents sovereign parties, including states, state-owned entities, and international organizations, before both domestic and international courts and tribunals. He currently represents the International Fund for Agricultural Development in a case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which he served as a staff lawyer earlier in his career.

Following a short transition period as Senior Counsel in the New York office, Dr. Bekker will relocate from the firm’s New York office to join the firm’s local partnership in Europe. Commenting on his move, he said, "Dewey & LeBoeuf is one of the world’s preeminent law firms with an expansive global platform stretching across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas. This, coupled with the firm’s multi-sector expertise, particularly in the oil and gas sector, creates a very attractive opportunity."

Dr. Bekker has experience with a variety of arbitration procedures, including those of the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and its Additional Facility, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (he is listed on its Panel of International Arbitrators), the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, and arbitrations based on the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). Dr. Bekker teaches international investment arbitration at Columbia Law School.

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Secures Win for Medtronic Inc. in Patent Infringement Suit

Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:47:16 GMT

(WASHINGTON, DC – September 28, 2011) – Dewey & LeBoeuf recently secured a significant victory for Medtronic Inc. and its subsidiary Warsaw Orthopedic in a patent infringement trial against rival NuVasive Inc.

On Tuesday, September 20, a San Diego federal district court jury awarded $101.2 million in damages to Warsaw, after finding that NuVasive infringed three Warsaw patents covering spinal implants used in back surgery. The verdict is the fourth-largest jury award in 2011 for a patent infringement case.

This result comes after nearly three years of litigation between the two companies. Medtronic and Warsaw sued NuVasive in October 2008 for allegedly infringing nine Warsaw patents related to surgical implants and processes for spinal surgery. NuVasive countered with claims that Medtronic and Warsaw infringed three of its own patents. At issue during the trial were only four of the patents, three asserted by Warsaw and one by NuVasive.

Medtronic is the world’s largest medical technology company. The spinal and biologics unit is its second-largest business. NuVasive is a medical device company focused on products for the surgical treatment of spine disorders.
The Dewey & LeBoeuf team was led by Jeff Schwartz, who was supported by Jae Lee and Cecilia Marsh. Dewey was co-counsel on this litigation with attorneys from Kirkland & Ellis.

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Represents Bioniche in Dismissal of Lawsuit Brought by Ferghana Partners, Inc.

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:08:37 GMT

(NEW YORK – October 21, 2011) – Dewey & LeBoeuf client Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. (TSX: BNC) (ASX: BNC), a research-based, technology-driven Canadian biopharmaceutical company, today announced that a New York court has granted summary judgment in its favor dismissing all claims in a lawsuit brought by a former financial advisor, Ferghana Partners, Inc.

The lawsuit was filed in December 2009 by Ferghana seeking payment of 6% of the funds received under Bioniche’s strategic partnership agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., for the commercialization of Urocidin™ a bladder cancer therapy developed by Bioniche. Endo holds exclusive global rights to develop and market Urocidin™. Under the licensing agreement, Bioniche received an up-front payment of US$20 million in July 2009, and became eligible to receive an additional US$110 million in milestone payments.

In the suit, Ferghana claimed it was entitled to a "finder’s fee" for introducing Endo as a partner for Bioniche under Ferghana’s advisory agreement with Bioniche. In a 19 page ruling dated October 5, 2011, Justice Melvin L. Schweitzer dismissed all of Ferghana’s claims, including breach of contract, unjust enrichment and quantum meruit, concerning its request for payment under the agreement. The court also denied Ferghana’s cross motion to amend its complaint to include additional allegations and claims.

The court has yet to rule on Bioniche’s counterclaims brought against Ferghana for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and quantum meruit, including a demand for punitive damages, arising out of Ferghana’s commitment to advise Bioniche in its effort to bring Urocidin™ to market.

The Dewey & LeBoeuf team was led by partner William Primps and included associates Jeffrey Amato and Eric Levine.

Trends in Green Litigation: New Litigants, New Damages

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:35:05 GMT

Since the start of the “green revolution,” it has been expected that litigation would result from green construction; and most early legal commentary focused on the likelihood of green construction disputes. Yet, green cases are likely to arise in many areas outside construction, some unexpected. Also, because of the reach of green issues, these lawsuits can quickly involve more parties than the usual litigants in a construction dispute.

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Files Amicus Brief on Behalf of Mexico and 17 Latin American Countries

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 10:10:53 GMT

Brief in support of the DOJ in the Supreme Court seeks affirmance of the Ninth Circuit decision upholding the preliminarily injunction of controversial sections of the Arizona Immigration Law

(NEW YORK – March 26, 2012) – Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP filed a brief on behalf of the Government of Mexico in the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the U.S. Department of Justice in the case State of Arizona v. United States of America, No. 11-182, which seeks to affirm the decision of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, upholding the District of Arizona’s preliminary injunction of controversial provisions of Arizona’s recent immigration statute, Arizona Senate Bill 1070, 49th Leg., 2d Reg. Sess., Ch. 113 (Az. 2010), as amended, known as SB 1070. The provisions in questions are sections 2(B), 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070.

The law, which has been widely criticized by civil rights groups and others since its inception, was enacted by Arizona, allegedly in response to its dissatisfaction with the lack of comprehensive federal legislation and action regarding immigration reform. Arizona mentions the Border States, in particular, as those most affected. In the view of many, SB 1070 addresses these issues in a dangerous and unconstitutional manner including rendering failure to carry immigration papers a separate state criminal offense under section 3. In addition, sections 2(B) and 6 of SB 1070 compel local police, under the standards of reasonable suspicion and probable cause, without appropriate and clear safeguards against racial-ethnic profiling, to investigate, detain and arrest, without a warrant, anyone suspected of being unlawfully present in the United States. Section 5 creates a crime for unauthorized immigrants to solicit, apply for, or perform work. Arizona has chosen not to avail itself of existing delegated authority from the federal government, with federal oversight and approval, to use current law to constitutionally assist in immigration enforcement.

On July 28, 2010, one day before it would have gone into effect, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton granted the U.S.’s request for a preliminary injunction of sections 2(B), 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070 on the grounds that such sections were likely preempted by federal law, and thereby prevented them from taking effect until the dispute regarding SB 1070’s constitutionality is resolved. The next day, the State of Arizona and Governor Brewer filed an expedited appeal at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On April 11, 2011, the Ninth Circuit upheld the preliminary injunction. In its opinion, the Circuit Court emphasized the importance of Mexico’s amicus brief in aiding in its "decision-making in this case insofar as they demonstrate the factual effects of Arizona’s law on U.S. foreign affairs, an issue that the Supreme Court has directed [the courts] to consider in preemption cases." On August 10, 2011, the State of Arizona and Governor Brewer filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, which was granted on December 12, 2011. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 25, 2012.

In support of the United States, the Government of Mexico has taken the position as amicus curiae that the District Court correctly enjoined sections 2(B), 3, 5(C), and 6 of SB 1070. It also underscored its duty to protect its national interest and to ensure that Mexican ethnic and national origin are not used as criteria for discriminatory treatment. Mexico also noted the adverse impact which SB 1070 could have on U.S.–Mexico bilateral relations if the statute’s controversial provisions were not enjoined and eventually declared invalid by the Court.

The Governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay filed a motion to join Mexico’s brief.

Dewey and LeBoeuf is representing the Government of Mexico, as well as the Governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay in this matter on a pro bono basis. The co-authors of the brief are Partner Henry Solano and Associates Carla Gorniak, Christopher R. Clark and Brandon Duke. Additionally, Associates Sofia Arguello, Joel Acevedo, Virginia Medina and Lucericia Messiah assisted with the research and preparation of the brief.
