#202 How Does Corporate Legal Finance Work? with Jordan Licht https://open.spotify.com/episode/7gxFduDodLzWwcUMKr0rpV?si=nKOiLbeOT1m-TXDZ1wf7Xw In this episode of the Grow CFO Show, host Kevin Appleby sits down with Jordan Licht, the CFO of Burford Capital, to discuss the fascinating world of legal fundraising and litigation finance. Jordan Licht's career journey to becoming the CFO at Burford Capital is an interesting one. He transitioned from a 15-year background in investment banking and consulting to eventually taking on the CFO role, reconnecting with a former boss who had also joined Burford. This highlights the importance of maintaining professional networks and how serendipitous career paths can be. The core focus of the discussion centers around Burford Capital and the unique world of litigation finance. Jordan provides an overview of how Burford invests in commercial litigation cases, sharing in the risk and reward. He explains Burford's thorough underwriting process, the challenges of estimating case durations, and the benefits their capital and expertise can provide to clients. The conversation also touches on Burford's global presence, their approach to building a non-law firm culture, and the complexities of funding and managing the company's own capital requirements. Beyond just traditional finance responsibilities, Jordan emphasizes the value of having diverse experience across sales, strategy, and operations. This broader understanding of the business, rather than just the finance function, has been crucial in his current role as CFO. Jordan discusses how this experience has helped him appreciate the symbiotic relationship between business operations and finance, and the dependencies that exist between the two.

This Day in Legal History: The Stamp Act of 1765On this day, March 22, 1765, a pivotal event in the prelude to the American Revolution occurred when the British Parliament enacted the Stamp Act. This legislation required that a wide array of documents within the American colonies—ranging from newspapers and legal documents to playing cards and dice—be printed on specially stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This act marked the first direct tax imposed by Britain on its American colonies, designed to raise funds to pay for the British troops stationed in North America after the French and Indian War.The Stamp Act ignited a firestorm of protest across the American colonies. Colonists united under the banner of "No taxation without representation," arguing that the British Parliament had no authority to levy taxes on them since they were not represented in the House of Commons. This principle challenged the very foundation of British authority in the colonies and set the stage for the escalating conflict that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.The colonies' response was swift and decisive. By October 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York City, bringing together representatives from nine of the thirteen colonies. This Congress was a significant step towards colonial unity, drafting a detailed petition to King George III and the British Parliament, demanding the repeal of the Stamp Act. They argued that only their own colonial assemblies had the legal authority to tax them.The Act also spurred the formation of secret societies, such as the Sons of Liberty, which organized protests and even intimidated stamp distributors, leading many to resign. The widespread boycott of British goods by American colonists further strained economic relations between the colonies and the mother country.The colonial resistance had a profound impact. By March 1766, less than a year after its enactment, the Stamp Act was repealed by Parliament, marking a significant victory for colonial opposition. However, the relief was short-lived as Parliament passed the Declaratory Act, asserting its right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever," setting the stage for future conflicts.The Stamp Act and its repeal were crucial moments in American legal and political history, illustrating the colonies' growing resolve to govern themselves and laying the groundwork for their eventual fight for independence. This day marks not just a legislative act but a moment that galvanized the American spirit of liberty and self-determination.Law firms are reinforcing their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in response to conservative criticism and economic downturns, which have jeopardized recent advancements in diversity. Initiatives like increasing DEI education and clarifying the inclusivity of their programs are among the steps taken by firms such as Davis Wright Tremaine and Foley & Lardner. This response aims to sustain the progress made following the widespread calls for racial justice after George Floyd's murder in May 2020, which had led to a notable increase in the hiring of women and people of color. However, a Supreme Court decision and subsequent legal threats have pressured firms to modify their DEI practices, leading to a decline in the hiring of diverse candidates. The industry has witnessed a reduction in requests for diverse candidates and a significant drop in hiring amid a challenging economic climate, with global deal activity and recruitment of third-year law students declining. Despite these challenges, law firms remain committed to their diversity goals, as evidenced by the resilience of DEI fellowship programs and the positive outcomes for diversity fellows. This commitment is seen as crucial in maintaining diversity within the legal profession, despite the current political and economic headwinds.Law Firms Boost Diversity Defenses After Conservative BacklashIn a significant legal ruling, Sysco Corp. has been granted permission by a federal judge in Illinois to transfer its claims in a major chicken price-fixing lawsuit to Burford Capital Ltd., the external financier that provided $140 million in funding for the litigation. This decision comes after Burford Capital opposed Sysco's intentions to settle some of the claims for what it considered an insufficient amount, leading to an agreement that Burford would assume control of the claims. The move faced opposition from meat producers, who argued that Burford, being an outsider to the direct litigation, should not be allowed to take over the cases. This stance was somewhat supported by a previous ruling in Minnesota, where a judge denied a similar request by Burford to substitute itself in pork and beef price-fixing lawsuits, citing concerns that the funder's profit motives could obstruct settlement efforts. However, Judge Thomas M. Durkin's approval of Burford's substitution in the chicken litigation case marks a departure, emphasizing that such arrangements are increasingly common in modern litigation. This decision represents a notable victory for Burford Capital in its strategic litigation financing endeavors, highlighting the evolving dynamics of legal funding and the roles of external investors in litigation.Burford Notches Win in Quest to Take Over Sysco Chicken LawsuitsThe U.S. government's antitrust lawsuit against Apple, alleging monopolistic practices in the smartphone market, echoes the landmark 1998 case against Microsoft. However, legal experts believe that the differing market dynamics between Apple's current smartphone dominance and Microsoft's past control over desktop software present unique challenges for the government's case. The lawsuit accuses Apple of stifling competition and innovation through restrictive app developer policies, potentially leading to higher consumer prices. Apple, holding a 55% share of the North American smartphone market, contrasts with Microsoft's 95% desktop OS market share in the 1990s, suggesting a less clear-cut case of monopolistic behavior. Additionally, Apple faces significant global competition from Android, which commands a strong market presence outside North America. A previous antitrust case brought by Epic Games against Apple did not find that Apple users were unduly "locked-in" to its ecosystem, potentially complicating the government's position. Nonetheless, the Department of Justice and the Biden Administration's Federal Trade Commission are pursuing the case, reflecting a willingness to challenge big tech companies to foster competition and innovation in the sector.Apple antitrust suit mirrors strategy that beat Microsoft, but tech industry has changed | ReutersIn my column this week, I examine President Joe Biden's proposed housing tax credit, highlighted in his state of the union address, which aims to alleviate the financial burden for homeowners amidst high mortgage rates. I argue that while the intention behind the tax credit is commendable, its focus on demand rather than supply could exacerbate the existing housing imbalance. To truly foster homeownership, I suggest reforms to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program to incentivize the construction of affordable homes. I also discuss the stalled Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023 and propose radical supply-side reforms, such as more permissive tax-exempt financing for developers, to address the affordability crisis effectively.I critique the tax credit proposal for potentially favoring those who can afford higher upfront costs, thus disadvantaging lower-income buyers who need immediate relief. This, coupled with the proposal's year-end application, could inadvertently sideline the very demographic it aims to help. Moreover, without addressing the supply side of affordable housing, the policy might inflate prices further, making homeownership less accessible for first-time and lower-income buyers. Despite the good intentions behind Biden's proposal, I stress that solving the affordable housing crisis requires a comprehensive approach that balances supply and demand, and caters to the immediate financial needs of aspiring homeowners. Policymakers must prioritize long-term strategies over temporary fixes to ensure that homeownership is attainable for all Americans.Biden Housing Tax Credit Targets Demand, but Supply Is the IssueThis week's closing theme is by Jean Baptiste Lully.Jean-Baptiste Lully, born Giovanni Battista Lulli in Florence, Italy, in 1632, became one of the most influential composers of the French Baroque era and a founding father of French opera. His journey from Italian immigrant to the court composer for King Louis XIV of France is a remarkable tale of talent, ambition, and transformation. Lully's mastery of music and his ability to mirror the grandeur of the Sun King's reign through his compositions led him to become the superintendent of the king's music and the director of the Royal Academy of Music.Moving to France in his teens, Lully initially served as a dancer and violinist at the court of Louis XIV. His exceptional musical skills soon caught the attention of the king, leading to his appointment as the court composer. Lully's close relationship with Louis XIV allowed him to monopolize French opera, a position he maintained through a mix of talent and shrewd manipulation. He significantly contributed to the development of the tragédie lyrique, a genre combining French classic drama and ballet with music, which became immensely popular in the 17th century.One of Lully's most enduring works is "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," a comédie-ballet created in collaboration with the playwright Molière. First performed in 1670, this piece was commissioned by Louis XIV and is a satirical take on the pretensions of the social-climbing merchant class. The suite from "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," particularly its overture, showcases Lully's genius in blending witty musical themes with the elegance and majesty of the French court. The overture, with its lively and refined character, sets the tone for a work that is both entertaining and a subtle critique of contemporary society.Lully's influence extended beyond the confines of the opera house and the court, shaping the future of French music and leaving a legacy that endured well into the 18th century and beyond. His death in 1687, caused by gangrene from a wound sustained while conducting, marked the end of an era. Yet, through compositions like "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," Lully's genius continues to be celebrated for its pivotal role in the development of Western classical music.Without further ado, the overture from “Le bourgeois gentilhomme,” by Jean Baptiste Lully.

John is joined by Christopher Bogart, CEO, Director and Co-Founder of Burford Capital, the largest litigation funding firm in the world.  They discuss the use of AI and data science in litigation funding decisions. Chris explains that while AI is currently not advanced enough to make decisions on whether to fund a case, advances in data science now allow litigation funders to improve their decisions by examining enormous amounts of public data to find meaningful facts such as accurate damage ranges that are often buried deep in individual case dockets. Chris also identifies the key data points used to evaluate whether to fund a case, including the legal theory of the case, the counsel representing the parties, the judge or arbitrator presiding over the case, and the likely time to reach an outcome.  Finally, John and Chris also discuss other ways that AI is impacting the legal profession including the use of AI to provide real time assistance in cross examination, the use of AI by courts in Singapore and Connecticut to adjudicate low value routine matters and traffic violations, and how AI has enabled smaller firms to expand into areas of litigation they previously could not handle such as large antitrust cases by automating the review and processing of millions of pages of documents. Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

This Day in Legal History: Congress Permits Voting Machines in Federal ElectionsOn this day in legal history, February 14, 1899, Congress marked a significant technological leap in the electoral process by approving the use of voting machines for federal elections. This decision opened a new chapter in how votes were cast and counted, moving away from the traditional paper ballots towards a more efficient and potentially more reliable mechanical method. The introduction of voting machines was seen as a revolutionary step forward, aimed at reducing fraud and errors that marred earlier elections. Like swapping a horse-drawn carriage for an automobile, this shift promised to propel the American electoral system into a new era of speed and precision, ensuring that the will of the people was registered and reported with unprecedented accuracy. This legislation not only reflected the innovative spirit of the age but also underscored a commitment to refining and advancing democratic processes.In a Bloomberg Law exclusive, Fenwick & West is laying off nearly 10% of its attorneys and staff amid challenges in the tech-focused legal market. The decision, communicated by firm chair Richard Dickson, comes after an evaluation of both current and anticipated future demands, affecting just under 10% of the firm's professionals. Fenwick & West, a key player in Silicon Valley legal circles with clients like Apple, Oracle, and Meta Platforms, is responding to a downturn in transactional markets that has similarly impacted other tech-centric law firms such as Cooley and Goodwin Procter. The firm had ramped up hiring from 2020 to early 2022 to meet a surge in demand, but the subsequent slowdown in transactional activity has led to misalignment between the firm's talent levels and client needs. Despite the layoffs, legal recruiter Summer Eberhard remains cautiously optimistic about the future of corporate transactional practices. Affected employees will receive a minimum of 13 weeks of base pay and health benefits, with the longest-tenured staff eligible for up to 40 weeks of compensation. Fenwick & West Laying Off Nearly 10% of Attorneys, Staff (2)A recent judicial decision has created significant ripples within the litigation financing sector, particularly impacting Burford Capital Ltd and its involvement in price-fixing lawsuits alongside plaintiff Sysco Corp. Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty ruled against the substitution of a Burford Capital affiliate as the plaintiff in pork and beef price-fixing cases, a move that challenged the firm's $140 million funding arrangement with Sysco. This decision underscores the tension between the objectives of litigation funders and the public policy against financial speculation on legal claims. The case has drawn attention to the broader litigation financing industry, valued at $13.5 billion, especially in the realm of antitrust claims, where the costs of litigation are notoriously high and outcomes uncertain.The clash between Sysco and Burford has ignited debate over the influence of third-party funders in litigation and prompted calls for increased transparency within the industry. Critics, including the US Chamber of Commerce, argue that such funding arrangements can unduly influence the course and outcomes of legal proceedings, pushing for legislation that would require disclosure of financing agreements in legal cases. Meanwhile, proponents of litigation finance see the judge's decision as a specific instance rather than a systemic problem within the industry, emphasizing its role in enabling costly antitrust litigation to proceed.The ruling, pending review, has not only put a spotlight on the practices and impacts of litigation finance but also sparked discussions on potential regulatory responses. As the industry navigates this challenging landscape, the case between Sysco and Burford may serve as a catalyst for reevaluating the balance between the needs of litigants for financial support and the integrity of the judicial process.Judge's Order Deals Blow to Sysco, Burford Capital in Pork SuitsAlphabet and Microsoft have diverged from the Nasdaq's recommended format for reporting board diversity, opting instead for a more visual representation using dots and check marks, while Tesla and Amazon have adhered more closely to the suggested templates. Since Nasdaq's rules requiring annual diversity disclosure took effect in 2022, companies listed on the exchange have adopted varied approaches to reporting, complicating direct comparisons between them. The regulations also mandate Nasdaq-listed companies to maintain diverse boards or explain the absence of diversity, a requirement that has withstood legal challenges from conservative groups. Despite the differences in reporting styles, experts like Amy Augustine of Boston Trust Walden Co. view the overall trend towards disclosure as progress, providing investors with crucial information previously unavailable. The use of symbols for disclosure, as seen in Alphabet and Microsoft's reports, is defended by some as offering more detail than Nasdaq's templates, though it presents challenges for analysis, particularly by computers. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s move towards machine-readable data in proxy statements, such as requiring XBRL for pay-versus-performance data, contrasts with the less standardized board diversity information, which is not required to be XBRL-compliant. This discrepancy highlights the ongoing challenge of making diverse corporate disclosures more accessible for automated analysis. By way of very brief background XBRL, or eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is a global standard for digitally sharing financial and business information. Think of it as a translator, turning human-readable reports like financial statements into machine-readable data. This data is tagged with specific meanings, allowing computers to easily understand and analyze it. XBRL benefits everyone: companies save time and effort, investors gain deeper insights, and regulators get better data for analysis. It's revolutionizing the way business information is shared and used.As the SEC contemplates broader board diversity disclosure requirements for all public companies, the landscape of corporate reporting on board composition is poised for further evolution. This movement reflects a growing recognition of the importance of diversity in corporate governance and the need for transparency to support investors' decision-making processes.Alphabet, Microsoft Pivot From Nasdaq Diversity Reporting FormatElon Musk has vocalized concerns that Delaware, a jurisdiction chosen by a majority of large public companies for incorporation due to its predictable legal system, is attempting to thwart companies from relocating, particularly in light of a court decision that invalidated his $56 billion Tesla compensation package. Musk's reaction, notably on social media, suggests an urge for companies to consider moving their incorporations out of Delaware, citing the state's alleged efforts to "lock the doors," as exemplified by the Tripadvisor case.The TripAdvisor case revolves around the company's desire to relocate its incorporation from Delaware to Nevada, a move that reflects broader corporate discontent with Delaware's legal environment, despite its reputation for business-friendliness. TripAdvisor's move, endorsed primarily by chairman Greg Maffei despite opposition from a majority of minority shareholders, aims to benefit from Nevada's more lenient laws on self-dealing, where directors face fewer legal challenges. This case not only underscores the tension between corporate interests and shareholder protections but also signals a potential shift in the landscape of corporate registrations, with states like Nevada and Texas vying to attract businesses away from Delaware. The outcome of TripAdvisor's attempt to move could set a precedent affecting Tesla's and other companies' relocation plans, amidst ongoing debates about the balance between corporate governance and shareholder rights.Delaware's legal framework, historically favored for its specialized Chancery Court and non-jury trials, has been perceived as facilitating rather than obstructing corporate moves to other states. Recent legislative adjustments in 2022 have simplified the process for companies wishing to reincorporate elsewhere, allowing such moves with majority shareholder approval, a shift from the previous requirement for unanimous consent. This modification ostensibly makes Delaware more accommodating for companies contemplating relocation.However, the Delaware Court of Chancery's ongoing examination of reincorporation efforts, especially those potentially advantageous to controlling shareholders, introduces a layer of complexity. The Tripadvisor litigation highlights this scrutiny, with allegations that a planned move to Nevada could enable easier self-dealing by significant stakeholders, suggesting Delaware's courts may critically evaluate such transitions to ensure they do not undermine minority shareholder interests.The situation with Tesla underscores a broader dialogue on corporate governance, shareholder rights, and the legal mechanisms in place to safeguard these interests. While Musk's significant influence at Tesla has been acknowledged by Delaware courts, the specific dynamics of Tesla's proposed shift to Texas—where legal protections differ from Nevada—might not directly align with the concerns raised in the Tripadvisor case.The impending ruling in the Tripadvisor case is anticipated with interest, as it will offer further clarity on Delaware's stance towards companies seeking to relocate, especially those with intricate shareholder structures. This decision will be pivotal, potentially setting precedents on the degree of judicial oversight Delaware will exercise over such moves, and elucidating the balance between corporate autonomy and the protection of shareholder interests.In summary, while Delaware has been characterized by Musk as obstructive, the state's legal amendments and judicial attitudes suggest a more nuanced approach, aiming to balance the flexibility for companies to reincorporate with the need to protect minority shareholders. The outcomes of ongoing legal deliberations, including the TripAdvisor and Tesla situations, will likely contribute significant insights into the evolving landscape of corporate governance and relocation.Explainer: Did Delaware 'lock the doors' to stop companies from leaving, as Musk claims? | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

How Much of the YPF Judgement Will Burford, Realistically, Recover? Burford Capital, a highly sophisticated litigation finance operation, has won an enormous judgment ($16 billion, where its share is upwards of $6 billion) against the Republic of Argentina. The question is how much of this judgment Burford is realistically likely to be able to collect on. Using a recent FT Alphaville article, “Dog Catches Argentine Car” by Jay Newman as our foil, we try to break down the likelihood of Burford getting a recovery. We think a significant recovery is plausible – particularly if the new administration in Argentina decides to default and renegotiate all of the myriad claims against it once and for all.

John is joined by Christopher Bogart, Chief Executive Officer, Director and Co-Founder of Burford Capital and Derek T. Ho, Partner at Kellogg, Hansen, Todd, Figel & Frederick, P.L.L.C.  They discuss how Derek obtained a $16 billion judgment, the largest ever in the United States that has not been overturned on appeal, against Argentina on a claim for breach of contract.  They also discuss the role Burford played in financing the litigation.  In the 1990s, when Argentina wanted to privatize its nationally owned oil company YPF, it faced investor skepticism due to its troubled history of nationalizing private companies.  To address those concerns, it structured the YPF offering to include a right of shareholders to have their shares repurchased by Argentina at an agreed upon price if Argentina ever retook control of YPF.  In 2012, Argentina retook control of YPF, but refused to repurchase the remaining public shares at the agreed upon price.  John, Christopher and Derek discuss the role Burford played from the outset of the case, Argentina's assertion of foreign sovereign immunity, and Argentina's other defenses.  They also discuss the summary judgment process and ruling, the three day bench trial composed entirely of expert witnesses, and the status of post-trial motions and appeal.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

On this day in legal history, September 12, 1958 the Supreme Court unanimously rejected Kansas' challenge to the court's authority to desegregate schools. The decision was authored by all nine justices – the only time that had happened to that point or since. The Cooper v. Aaron case, decided on September 12, 1958, was a significant milestone in the civil rights movement in the United States. Following the landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional, there were numerous attempts by state governments to resist the implementation of desegregation.In this context, the state of Arkansas openly defied the federal mandate to desegregate public schools. The Governor of Arkansas, Orval Faubus, even used the National Guard to prevent African American students, known as the Little Rock Nine, from attending Little Rock Central High School, a previously all-white institution.This led to the Cooper v. Aaron case, where the Supreme Court reaffirmed its commitment to the principle of supremacy of federal law, as established in the Constitution. The court unanimously asserted that states could not pass legislation or enact policies that contradicted federal law, and that state officials were bound by the court's decisions. This case reinforced the court's authority and the federal government's power over the states, making it clear that state governments could not resist or undermine the implementation of federal court rulings.The ruling in Cooper v. Aaron was seen as a powerful affirmation of the federal judiciary's role in protecting civil rights and ensuring the implementation of desegregation policies across the United States. It underscored the Supreme Court's commitment to upholding the principles of justice and equality, as enshrined in the Constitution–if only in that one facet, in that one moment. Burford Capital stands to gain a substantial return of over 37,000% on its initial investment, potentially receiving around $6.2 billion from a $16 billion award ordered by a US judge against Argentina, pertaining to the 2012 seizure of oil company YPF SA. However, Argentina has vowed to appeal this decision, terming it as "unprecedented and erroneous", which might delay or even prevent the payment. Burford Capital's CEO, Christopher Bogart, and CIO, Jonathan Molot, both have prestigious backgrounds and have expressed a conciliatory stance towards Argentina, understanding the financial challenges the country is currently facing.Burford, which specializes in identifying and investing in undervalued legal claims, has already spent about $50 million in lawyer fees for this case and sold a significant portion of its interest to large hedge funds for $236 million. Despite facing criticism and a significant dip in share price in 2019, the company has managed to sustain by adapting its business structure. The recent court ruling rejected Argentina's argument that Burford's involvement would result in an undeserved windfall, emphasizing that the award amount was a consequence of Argentina's actions. The final judgment on the award is pending as is the final word on the broader question of litigation financing. Burford Eyes 37,000% Return in $16 Billion Argentina Award (1)Microsoft has promised to defend its customers from copyright infringement lawsuits stemming from its Copilot artificial intelligence tools. The company believes its systems are unlikely to produce content that so closely copies its source material that it violates copyright. And legal professionals largely agree that the risk of customers facing a copyright infringement suit related to AI's outputs is low.Microsoft is extending indemnification to protect commercial customers of its Copilot tools when they're sued for copyright infringement based on outputs. This means that Microsoft will defend the customer and pay any adverse judgments or settlements. The move aims to quell fears among potential customers that using generative AI-derived content will expose them to copyright suits.The indemnification doesn't take pressure off the most critical legal questions about generative AI and intellectual property. Lawsuits so far haven't targeted end-users of generative AI, and users shouldn't be liable for how AI companies train their machines. However, the real issue is whether the models were trained by scraping vast quantities of data across the internet, including materials that are under copyright. Ongoing litigation will decide whether that constitutes copying under copyright law, and if so, whether it's fair use.Microsoft has built features into the models designed to reduce purely duplicative outputs that could raise copyright concerns. For example, they have natural language filters that try to limit the number of verbatim outputs that can be included in any particular response. The company would rather control the litigation than have their customers control it.While Microsoft's announcement may reassure customers, bigger legal questions still remain, including ones that extend beyond copyright. The legal environment for generative AI is still in its early stages, and it's unclear how the courts will ultimately rule on these issues. However, Microsoft's move is a positive step in the right direction, and it should help to encourage the development and use of generative AI.Microsoft Sees Low Risk for Customers in AI Copyright LawsuitsThe U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), established to counter predatory lending practices post the 2008 financial crisis, is facing a significant threat to its existence due to a pending Supreme Court case, which will review the constitutionality of its funding structure. This case is instigated by two trade groups representing the payday loan industry and is set to be heard on October 3, with a ruling anticipated by end-June. The challenge hinges on the fact that the agency is funded through the Federal Reserve, not congressional appropriations, potentially violating the Constitution's "appropriations clause".Throughout its existence from 2012 to 2022, the CFPB has initiated over 300 enforcement actions, recovering approximately $16 billion for American consumers. However, the agency has been criticized by conservatives and pro-business groups for fostering an "administrative state" with excessive regulations and perceived abuses of power. They have long sought to dismantle the CFPB, asserting it imposes undue burdens on financial institutions.The Biden administration has contested a lower court ruling that sided with the challengers, emphasizing the potential repercussions if the CFPB's existing rules and protections are invalidated. Consumer advocacy groups warn that this could expose consumers to deceptive and exploitative practices from lenders and debt collectors. They underscore the potential for market disruption and a recurrence of issues that necessitated the CFPB's inception. The case initiated in 2018 primarily targets a 2017 CFPB rule that aimed to limit "unfair" and "abusive" actions by certain high-interest lenders.Former critics of the agency, including Mick Mulvaney and over 130 Republican lawmakers, have joined in urging the Supreme Court to dismantle the CFPB. They maintain that the agency, since its creation in 2010, has lacked transparency and demonstrated potential for abuse. The Supreme Court's verdict could potentially influence the funding and structure of other federal agencies with similar financial arrangements.Conservatives hope Supreme Court defangs US consumer watchdog | ReutersIn my column this week, I discuss the forthcoming Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit initiative by the IRS, which aims to incentivize clean energy investments in low-income and tribal communities. I emphasize that the focus should be on creating the most efficient strategies for generating renewable energy, rather than merely situating clean energy facilities in these communities. I thus advocate for the centralization of Category 4 facilities, which are designed to economically benefit underserved communities, regardless of their geographical location.I also highlight the current administrative hurdles associated with applying for similar programs, suggesting that the process needs to be streamlined to avoid favoring applicants with more substantial financial and administrative resources. I then propose a collaborative approach involving various stakeholders, including state and local governments, the private sector, and community leaders, to develop guidelines that best meet the needs of individual communities.Furthermore, I encourage the fostering of public-private partnerships and ongoing community engagement to ensure the success of these projects. I would caution against making assumptions about the motivations of low-income communities and stress the importance of engaging with these communities to understand their needs and motivations better.Energy Credits for Low-Income Taxpayers Should Be Easy to Get Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

La jueza estadounidense Loretta Preska falló en contra de la Argentina en la causa por la expropiación de YPF.

Horacio Rovelli, licenciado en economía, ex subsecretario de defensa de la competencia y de mercado interno analizó el fallo. "Era seguro que este fallo era en contra del Argentina.

Thanks!One of the most important developments in the legal world in the past decade has been the rise of litigation finance, which has emerged from relative obscurity—and even illegality in certain states—to become a multibillion-dollar industry. Initially viewed by many with either skepticism or befuddlement, litigation finance has gone mainstream, and today numerous Am Law 100 firms and Fortune 500 companies work with funders for mutual benefit.But litigation finance remains controversial in some quarters, and its rapid growth has led to calls for greater regulation or disclosure. Based in part on such issues, I have long been interested in the field, dating back to when I covered it for Above the Law. Recent news stories—including litigation between a top funder and a former client, followed by a high-profile trial last month in the Southern District of New York—have brought litigation funding back into the headlines, making now an opportune time to explore it on this podcast.In picking a guest, I adhered to my approach of going straight to the top, speaking with the #1 executive at the #1 funder: Christopher Bogart, co-founder and CEO of Burford Capital, the world's largest provider of legal finance. In our conversation, Chris and I covered his remarkable legal career, in which he became the general counsel of a Fortune 50 company just seven years out of law school; the early days of litigation finance, including the founding of Burford; attacks on litigation funding, including claims that it makes litigation more widespread, long-running, and expensive; and his own firm's public beef with Sysco, the food-distribution giant and former Burford client. If you're not familiar with litigation finance—how it works, how it has evolved, and how it's transforming the legal and investing worlds—you'll want to listen to this episode.Show Notes:* Christopher Bogart bio, Burford Capital LLC* An Innovator's Journey: From Star Litigator to Litigation Finance, by Russ Banham for Carrier Management* A $16 Billion Wall Street Lawsuit for the Ages, by Eriq Gardner for Puck* Burford Capital Eyes Billions in Payout for Argentina Suit, Bloomberg LawPrefer reading to listening?

The scores on the February bar exam in the US have fallen for the second consecutive year, with some blame placed on COVID-19 pandemic disruptions in law schools. The national average score on the Multistate Bar Exam was 131.1, a decrease of 1.5 points from the previous year, according to the National Conference of Bar Examiners. The decline is attributed to an increase in repeat test takers and the pandemic's negative impact on learning. First-time test takers saw the largest decline, scoring two points lower than their 2022 counterparts on average. Many of the first-time examinees were in their first year of law school when campuses shut down and classes abruptly moved online in the spring of 2020. About 72% of the February 2023 takers were likely repeaters, up from 68% the previous year.US bar exam officials blame low scores on COVID disruptions, repeat testers | ReutersInsurers of the Boy Scouts have requested a delay in the youth group's exit from bankruptcy to allow them more time to appeal a $2.46 billion settlement of sexual abuse claims. The insurers, which include Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, have said the Boy Scouts' bankruptcy settlement puts them on the hook for paying "thousands of invalid and questionable claims." U.S. District Judge Richard Andrews in Wilmington, Delaware, rejected the insurers' initial appeal on Tuesday, finding the settlement was a good faith effort to resolve claims by more than 80,000 men who say they were abused as children by troop leaders. The Boy Scouts have agreed to contribute insurance rights worth up to $4 billion to the settlement fund that will pay abuse claims. Those insurance payments are in addition to the $2.46 billion already contributed to the fund by the Boy Scouts organization, its two largest insurers, and organizations that have chartered Scouting units and activities, including churches. The Boy Scouts organization said it would oppose any effort to delay bankruptcy exit. The Boy Scouts filed for bankruptcy in February 2020 after several US states enacted laws allowing accusers to sue over decades-old abuse allegations.Boy Scouts insurers seek to delay $2.5 bln abuse deal, bankruptcy exit | ReutersBurford Capital Ltd., a litigation funder, has won a major victory in a lawsuit over an Argentina oil company. The company has financed former YPF SA shareholders in their legal claim against Argentina, arguing that the claims are worth over $7.5bn before prejudgment interest. On Friday, a federal court in New York ruled that the country is liable for losses suffered by the 2012 nationalization of the oil company, but did not specify the amount of damages that Argentina will be ordered to pay. Burford shares rose over 30% before trading was suspended.We have talked about litigation funder Burford Capital Ltd. previously in the context of it having been accused by Sysco Corp of blocking it from hiring new lawyers in price-fixing lawsuits, after providing the food distributor with $140m to pursue the suits. There, Sysco accused the funder of preventing Sysco from getting new lawyers and from signing off on a new fee arrangement for replacement lawyers. Burford denied the accusations, with its chief information officer calling Sysco's account of the situation “disingenuous” and “inaccurate”. Burford persisted in denying it was interfering with the independent judgment of its counsel.Litigation funding itself is a controversial concept. It is a process in which a third-party funder provides financing to plaintiffs involved in legal disputes in exchange for a portion of the recovery. The funder pays for the legal costs and other expenses associated with the litigation in exchange for a share of any settlement or verdict. This type of funding is typically used by plaintiffs who are unable to afford the costs of a lawsuit on their own. Some have argued injecting an element of investment, or gambling, into the litigation process is asking for trouble – imagining issues along the lines of what Sysco accused Burford of engaging in. Burford Capital Set to Cash Big Bet on Argentina Oil Lawsuit (2)Sysco Says $140 Million Litigation Funder Blocking Lawyer ChangeElon Musk violated federal labor law with a 2018 tweet in which he said Tesla workers would lose stock options if they unionized, according to a US appeals court. The decision upheld a ruling by the National Labor Relations Board ordering Musk to delete the tweet, which it said amounted to an unlawful threat. The case followed a union organizing campaign at the company's plant in Fremont, California, by the United Auto Workers. The court rejected Tesla's argument that the tweet wasn't a threat and just highlighted that unionized auto workers at other companies didn't receive stock options.

The litigation finance industry has boomed over the past several years, with investors looking to bankroll contentious cases in the hopes of securing a big payday. But what happens when the financiers begin to take a heavy hand on case strategy? That question is at the center of a new suit against litigation funding behemoth Burford Capital, which has been accused of blocking a client from accepting “reasonable” settlement offers. Joining Pro Say this week is Law360's Hannah Albarazi who will discuss the case against Burford and its implications for the lucrative litigation funding industry. Also this week, a feud between Littler Mendelson PC and one of its former attorneys over allegations of stolen documents has spilled into the courtroom and onto social media. Plus, a Delaware judge prepares to rule in a bitter dispute between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News over the network's reporting on false claims that the voting technology company meddled in the 2020 presidential election.

One of the most exciting things in our industry is finding young investment managers who are incredibly bright, hard-working, and well-trained in the investment process. Our guest today, Angela Aldrich, fits that bill perfectly.   Angela is the co-founder of Bayberry Capital Partners, a hedge fund with a half-billion dollars in assets based in New York.

TESTIMONIOS DE FAUSTO SPOTORNO ( ANALISIS ECONOMICO), JORGE GIACCOBE(ANALISIS POLITICO, ENCUESTAS) MARIO NEGRI Se acortan los tiempos para la muy extensa demanda en los tribunales de Nueva York por la expropiación que hizo el Estado nacional de YPF en 2012, cuando Cristina Kirchner era presidenta. El 23 de junio próximo se presentarán los últimos informes y la jueza Loretta Preska, del tribunal de primera instancia del Distrito Sur de Manhattan, podría fallar al día siguiente. O convocar una nueva audiencia, o rechazar los pedidos de ambas partes y ordenar que se haga el juicio: aunque parezca mentira, este proceso, que comenzó hace siete años, está en etapa prejudicial. Burford Capital, un bufete de acción global que cotiza en la bolsa de Londres, al que muchos compararon por su accionar como un “fondo buitre”, compró el derecho a litigar contra YPF y el estado argentino a dos ex accionistas privado de la petrolera –Eton y dos empresas quebradas Petersen, que al momento del juicio no pertenecían al Grupo Petersen de Argentina– que en su momento argumentaron que YPF debió hacer una oferta pública a los accionistas minoritarios y no sólo “arreglar” con el socio mayoritario al momento de la expropiación, la española Repsol. Ese es el eje central de la causa. El 60% de toda la información de la demanda es confidencial, no se conoce: en esos folios hay declaraciones de ex ejecutivos de la petrolera, ex accionistas, de los demandantes, síndicos y otros protagonistas. ¿Puede haber sorpresas surgidas de ese material? Claro, la que tiene el escenario completo de la situación es Preska, quien además es una profunda conocedora de la demanda desde el minuto cero Según un cálculo que hicieron los demandantes, usando el estatuto de YPF y calculando diferentes escenarios de intereses luego de siete años de juicio, la demanda podría tener un costo en un rango de entre USD 8.500 millones y hasta unos USD 20.000 millones. “Está claro que el gobierno de Argentina debería haber lanzado una oferta pública por todas las acciones no incluidas en la expropiación y, al no hacerlo, dio a las empresas Petersen y a Eton Park Capital razones suficientes para presentar una demanda en busca de una indemnización. Pero Argentina ha presentado sólidos argumentos para persuadir a la jueza Preska para que falle a su favor, alegando, sobre todo, que estaba impedido por su propia leyes de adquirir acciones adicionales”, destacó Maril. Si Argentina pierde los escenarios podrían incluir apelaciones, búsquedas de nuevos mediadores, oferta de pago con bonos (de los devaluados del país o de la empresa), venta extra de acciones por parte de la empresa y hasta futuras negociaciones según quien gane las elecciones presidenciales de 2023 y posibles embargos en EEUU para la empresa.

Will Barnes and Will Oliver are two fantastic individuals I met through Latticework and got to know by bonding over our fandom of Charlie Munger. They are the co-founders of In Practise, a company that conducts interviews with executives and sells them to investors looking at the companies and building conviction in their portfolio. They conduct one-to-one interviews in pursuit of finding the best investment opportunities for their clients. During our conversation, we talk about how they came to start their business, how it is structured to authentically align with themselves, and tactics they employ in conducting interviews. To kick off the conversation, I ask about who their heroes are and both Wills talk about their fathers as well as Munger and Buffet, and then we transition into how they met and came to start In Practise. They both worked for Third Bridge, an expert network that connects mainly investment companies with operators in private one-to-one phone calls, and they came together to build the content side of the business. They fell in love with the work, and seeing a niche in the market for a more affordable solution for smaller hedge fund managers, they spun out from Third Bridge and formed In Practise. We discuss how they are building a system to understand what quality means in a business and how they build conviction for investors. We talk a bit about Dee Hock, the founder and CEO of Visa, and how he has inspired and influenced In Practise. Their core offering is a library of interviews; they first aim to get their client up to speed quickly on the workings of the company they are interested in and then to delve into what really matters, and the next part is the analysis phase in which they offer investor dialogs about the company. Moreover, they are aiming to build a community for learning founded on trust. We explore how they approach the interviews of executives and the balance between noticing patterns but also allowing the interview to go where it flows. They must understand the business and what the customers care about but also have to be willing to really listen. Will Barnes emphasizes the importance of the line of questioning rather than just the questions and says the epiphanies often come when the original hypothesis was wrong. They walk me through a couple of company examples, Naked Wine and Burford, and what really matters in them. To wrap up, I ask about the companies they can list that they believe to be in the hundred highest quality public businesses in the world today and about their project of In Practise 40 years out.   Links:    In Practise   In Practise on Twitter   Eric's Newsletter   Third Bridge Iain McGilchrist   Books by Dee Hock   Naked Wines   Burford Capital   Topics:   (1:51) - Who are your heroes?   (8:43) - The Will's experiences at Thirdbridge - and the desire to spin out   (14:48) - How did you define your niche in the industry?   (21:13) - Solving the problem of understanding quality in business and selling the service of conviction   (26:14) - Unpacking “The Highest Quality Public Businesses”   (31:14) - Thoughts on Dee Hock, Visa, and Natural systems   (36:22) - Authenticity in business & the pursuit of truth   (43:05) - The macro components of In Practise   (46:46) - The pie chart of conviction, building community and trust   (52:00) - How do you approach conversations with executives?   (1:04:48) - Practical examples: Naked Wines   (1:12:34) - Practical examples: Burford Capital   (1:19:49) - How many companies can you list that you believe are on the 100 highest quality public businesses in the world today?   (1:25:28) - Where do you want this business to be in 40 years?   (1:30:28) - What are the principles guiding your practice?   (1:36:08) - Closing thoughts Additional Episodes If You Enjoyed: Phil Huber: Crazy Alternative Assets, Crypto for Financial Advisors & the Book Writing Process   Jason Hitchcock: Your Guide to Web3 (DeFi, NFTs, and The Metaverse)   Shane Mac: Building Messaging Protocol for Web3 (XMTP), Company Culture, and Scaling Trust     If you want to support the podcast, here are a few ways you can:  >> Buy a copy of the Navalmanak: www.navalmanack.com/  >> Share the podcast with your friends and on social media  >> Give the podcast a positive review to help us reach new listeners  >> Make a weekly, monthly, or one-time donation: https://app.omella.com/o/9Bufa  >> Follow me on Twitter: @ericjorgenson >> Learn more and sign up for the “Building a Mountain of Levers” course and community: https://www.ejorgenson.com/leverage  I appreciate your support!     Important quotes from Naval on building wealth and the difference between wealth and money:   How to get rich without getting lucky. - Naval Ravikant   Making money is not a thing you do—it's a skill you learn. - Naval Ravikant   I came up with the principles in my tweetstorm (below) for myself when I was really young, around thirteen or fourteen. I've been carrying them in my head for thirty years, and I've been living them. Over time (sadly or fortunately), the thing I got really good at was looking at businesses and figuring out the point of maximum leverage to actually create wealth and capture some of that created wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Seek wealth, not money or status. - Naval Ravikant   Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   Money is how we transfer time and wealth. - Naval Ravikant   Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.    You're not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity—a piece of a business—to gain your financial freedom.  - Naval Ravikant   The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn. The old model of making money is going to school for four years, getting your degree, and working as a professional for thirty years. But things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it's obsolete four years later. But within those three productive years, you can get very wealthy. - Naval Ravikant     Important quotes from the podcast by Naval on Leverage:   “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.”  —Archimedes    To get rich, you need leverage. Leverage comes in labor, comes in capital, or it can come through code or media. But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you. For labor, somebody has to follow you. For capital, somebody has to give you money, assets to manage, or machines. - Naval Ravikant   Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media). - Naval Ravikant   Capital and labor are permissioned leverage. Everyone is chasing capital, but someone has to give it to you. Everyone is trying to lead, but someone has to follow you. - Naval Ravikant   Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep. - Naval Ravikant   If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. - Naval Ravikant   Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgment. - Naval Ravikant   Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve. - Naval Ravikant   “We live in an age of infinite leverage, and the economic rewards for genuine intellectual curiosity have never been higher. Following your genuine intellectual curiosity is a better foundation for a career than following whatever is making money right now.” - Naval Ravikant   Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.    But usually, the real wealth is created by starting your own companies or even by investing. In an investment firm, they're buying equity. These are the routes to wealth. It doesn't come through the hours. - Naval Ravikant

In this edition, our hosts Jon Amarilio and Jack Sanker are joined by Ajit Singh of the Law Finance Group and Travis Lenkner of Burford Capital to discuss how litigation financing is changing the face of modern litigation, the business of lawsuits, how litigation financing can be used by both the plaintiff’s and defense bar in creative ways, why increasing numbers of lawyers and their clients are turning to litigation financing and much more.

The advisory committee on the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is considering proposed amendments to Rule 26 that would require disclosure of litigation financing arrangements. Specifically, the proposal would require disclosure of any agreement under which any person, other than an attorney permitted to charge a contingent fee representing a party, has a right to receive compensation that is contingent on, and sourced from, any proceeds of a civil action. Travis Lenkner, a senior advisor at litigation finance firm Burford Capital, and John Beisner, a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP will join us to discuss the proposal.Featuring:Travis Lenkner, Senior Advisor, Burford CapitalJohn Beisner, Partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP Teleforum calls are open to all dues paying members of the Federalist Society.

Duration: 28:49   The litigation finance industry is heating up in the U.S. as new funders enter the market and hire away Big Law attorneys to fill their ranks. Another sign of this trend: Burford Capital, one of the largest litigation funders, recently announced it had poured almost half a billion dollars into litigation finance in just the first half of this year after its game-changing acquisition of Gerchen Keller.   In this episode of Unprecedented, Burford managing director and Gerchen Keller alum Travis Lenkner talks about the effect of all that money pouring into the legal system. "The changes that might be brought on by litigation finance are no different from the changes that clients in complex commercial litigation matters have been pushing now for many years,” he says. Lenkner also talks about why the industry is growing, and what happens when funding becomes commonplace.
