The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has been a mainstay of corporate culture for the last quarter-century, and has cost companies millions, sometimes even billions, of dollars in fines. And that's before you start counting the lawyers' fees. This law, used to prevent US businesses from engaging in bribery to win foreign business, has seen a major uptick in enforcement over the last 25 years. And, over that period, it has become a major revenue driver for elite law firms. Some say that the law keeps companies honest, and actually benefits corporations by providing them a shield for responding to requests for bribes. But last month President Donald Trump said the law “sounds good on paper but in practicality, it's a disaster.” Trump signed an executive order pausing the initiation of new investigations for 180 days and meanwhile ordering the AG to issue updated guidelines. On the latest episode of On The Merits, leading FCPA practitioner, Martin Weinstein, the chair of Cadwalader's compliance, investigations & enforcement practice, talks about the impacts of a law he calls the “greatest tariff in the US Code” and what it could mean for business if enforcement winds down. And Bloomberg Law reporter Roy Strom discusses the impact on large law firms, which have built premier practices focusing on this law. Do you have feedback on this episode of On The Merits?

This Day in Legal History: Paris Peace AccordsOn January 27, 1973, the Paris Peace Accords were signed, formally ending direct U.S. military involvement in the Vietnam War. The agreement, brokered after years of intense negotiations, was signed by representatives from the United States, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam. The key provisions included a ceasefire, the withdrawal of U.S. troops, the release of prisoners of war, and a commitment to peaceful reunification efforts. Dr. Henry Kissinger, serving as the U.S. National Security Advisor, played a pivotal role in negotiating the agreement, earning him the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize, which he controversially shared with North Vietnamese negotiator Lê Đức Thọ, who declined the award.The accords marked a significant moment in Cold War diplomacy, as they sought to halt one of the most controversial conflicts in U.S. history. Despite the agreement, tensions remained high, and fighting between North and South Vietnam continued. Ultimately, the accords failed to establish lasting peace, as North Vietnamese forces launched a successful campaign to reunify Vietnam under communist control in 1975.The accords also addressed humanitarian concerns, including provisions for the return of U.S. prisoners of war, such as those held at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton." The agreements emphasized self-determination for the South Vietnamese people, though political realities on the ground made this challenging. The signing of the Paris Peace Accords underscored the limits of U.S. influence in Vietnam and symbolized a broader shift in American foreign policy, as the nation grappled with the aftermath of its longest war to date.Elon Musk has asked a federal judge in Texas to dismiss a class-action lawsuit accusing him and his political action committee, America PAC, of running an illegal lottery. The lawsuit, filed by Arizona resident Jacqueline McAferty, alleges that Musk misled voters in seven battleground states into signing a petition supporting the U.S. Constitution by offering a chance to win $1 million. McAferty argues that this violated Texas deceptive trade practices laws, as winners were supposedly chosen at random.Musk, however, contends that participants were informed they would be evaluated for opportunities to become America PAC spokespeople, not awarded a random prize. He emphasized that this process did not involve "chance" and thus was not a lottery. Musk also rejected claims that collecting petition signers' personal information caused harm, noting there was no evidence of misuse.The lawsuit, filed on Election Day in 2024, seeks at least $5 million in damages for petition signers. It follows a related legal effort in Philadelphia, where a judge declined to halt Musk's giveaway, ruling it was not an illegal lottery. Musk is a Texas resident, and Tesla, his electric car company, is headquartered in Austin.Elon Musk says $1 million election giveaway wasn't an illegal lottery | ReutersIndian digital news outlets, including those owned by billionaires Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, have joined a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging unauthorized use of their content to train its AI models. News organizations such as NDTV, Network18, Indian Express, and Hindustan Times argue that OpenAI's "willful scraping" of their material threatens their copyrights and undermines their advertising revenue. This legal filing builds on a prior lawsuit initiated by ANI, India's most prominent news agency, marking a significant escalation in the legal battle.The media outlets accuse OpenAI of prioritizing partnerships with international publishers while neglecting similar agreements with Indian companies, resulting in unfair advantages. OpenAI, however, maintains that its use of publicly available data adheres to fair use principles and asserts that Indian courts lack jurisdiction over its U.S.-based servers. This legal challenge occurs as India's generative AI market is poised for rapid growth, and OpenAI views the country as a key market with a large user base. Critics of OpenAI's practices argue its actions undermine press freedom and could weaken democracy in India. Meanwhile, OpenAI continues to defend its business model, citing partnerships with major global publishers and emphasizing its compliance with copyright laws in other regions.OpenAI to face Indian news firms of Ambani, Adani in copyright battle, documents show | ReutersA wave of new state laws targeting "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in cosmetics took effect this year, reflecting growing concerns over the health and environmental risks of these persistent substances. California, Colorado, and several other states have banned the intentional use of PFAS in products like lipstick and mascara, while broader measures in states such as Minnesota also cover textiles, cookware, and food packaging. PFAS, often used for properties like water resistance or shine, can accumulate in the environment and pose health risks such as cancer, low birth weight, and fertility issues, according to the EPA.Businesses are responding by assessing their supply chains, reformulating products, and removing items from shelves to comply with the patchwork of state laws, which vary in scope. Some companies may adopt nationwide standards based on these bans, while others will adjust their product offerings by jurisdiction. Legal experts warn of additional challenges, including lawsuits over "greenwashing" if products marketed as sustainable or eco-friendly are found to contain PFAS, even unintentionally.Consumer lawsuits have already targeted items like waterproof mascara, disposable tableware, and smartwatch bands for PFAS content, citing false advertising. Meanwhile, some state laws, like those in Maine, acknowledge that PFAS are unavoidable in certain industries, requiring disclosure instead of outright bans. These measures are expected to spur further regulation of chemicals in cosmetics and beyond, particularly at the state level, as consumer demand for "clean beauty" and environmentally friendly products continues to grow.'Forever Chemicals' Reckoning Hits Cosmetics With New State LawsCadwalader, Wickersham & Taft reported a record $638 million in revenue in 2024, a 15% increase driven by its work with Wall Street banks and private credit markets. The firm's strategy combines advising traditional banking clients and expanding its services to private capital providers as both sectors increasingly collaborate. Notable deals include representing BNP Paribas in a $5 billion financing partnership with Apollo-backed ATLAS SP Partners and helping arrange a European middle-market private credit collateralized loan obligation.  The firm's 80 equity partners earned an average of $3.7 million each last year, a 33% increase. Managing Partner Pat Quinn emphasized that Cadwalader's smaller size, with about 430 lawyers and offices in only five cities, fosters close collaboration and a personal touch with clients. Lawyers also benefit from flexible office policies, with partners required to be in four days a week and associates encouraged to attend voluntarily on Mondays.Cadwalader's capital markets, fund finance, and real estate practices performed strongly, while its investigations group expanded into broader corporate conduct matters. The London office also posted record revenue, bolstered by leveraged finance and fund finance work. With rising demand and increasingly complex transactions, Quinn anticipates that 2025 could surpass last year's success.Cadwalader Revenue Jumps 15% as Banks, Private Credit Align This is a public episode.

JONATHAN KANTER This episode was recorded on November 18, 2024,  the day when it was reported that Senior antitrust officials at the Justice Department plan to ask a judge to order Google to divest its Chrome web browser, Bloomberg reported citing anonymous sources. The department also intends to ask federal judge Amit Mehta, who declared Google's search engine a monopoly in August, to mandate actions concerning artificial intelligence and the Android mobile operating system. The enforcement actions are the product of the Justice Department's multiyear case against Google which sought to prove that the tech giant has a web search monopoly in the U.S. The Justice Department won its case  federal judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google broke antitrust laws in both online search and search text ads markets. The remedies are yet to be decided and will likely be fought in federal courts. Many parallels exist between this case and  US v Standard Oil in the early 20th century and US v Microsoft in the early 21st century. The remarkable person leading this effort which at its root goes to the heart of free markets, power and competition is Assistant Attorney General of the United States' Department of Justice Antitrust Division. He is deeply thoughtful and his mind is expansive, especially at the intersection of the law, free markets. Prior to this, Kanter worked as an antitrust attorney at the FTC and in private practice. AAG Kanter is considered a critic of “big tech” and DOJ has worked to block  a record number of mergers on antitrust  grounds. During his tenure, the DOJ won its first conviction in a criminal monopolization suit in four decades Jonathan has a very humble beginning in a working class neighborhood of Queens and  graduated from SUNY Albany and Washington University School of Law.  After graduating from law school, Kanter first worked as an antitrust lawyer at the FTC. He later worked in private practice, where he represented clients including Microsoft and Yelp as an  associate at Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson. Kanter was later a partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft followed by  Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison.  Two other notable cases he has led include an antitrust suit related to JetBlue's attempted acquisition of Spirit, and one against Ticketmaster's parent company Live Nation Entertainment. Upon filing the lawsuit, Kanter stated that "Live music should not be available only to those who can afford to pay the Ticketmaster tax". Much of his work, as was his confirmation by the United States Senate, has broad support across party lines, a rare thing in today's Washington.  RELATED LINKS NYT Article CNBC Segment Wikipedia Bloomberg Article Stanford Graduate School of Business Talk GENERAL INFO| TOP OF THE GAME: Official website: https://topofthegame-thepod.com/ RSS Feed: https://feed.podbean.com/topofthegame-thepod/feed.xml Hosting service show website: https://topofthegame-thepod.podbean.com/ Javier's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/javiersaade  SUPPORT & CONNECT: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/96934564 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61551086203755 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOPOFGAMEpod Subscribe on Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/site/podcatcher/index/blog/vLKLE1SKjf6G Email us: info@topofthegame-thepod.com   THANK YOU FOR LISTENING – AVAILABLE ON ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS

This Day in Legal History:  Articles of Confederation AdoptedOn November 15, 1777, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Articles of Confederation, establishing the first constitutional framework for the United States. Crafted during the Revolutionary War, the Articles aimed to unify the thirteen colonies under a single government while preserving their independence and sovereignty. This early governing document reflected deep fears of centralized authority, granting Congress limited powers such as conducting foreign diplomacy, declaring war, and managing relations with Native American tribes. However, it lacked crucial mechanisms for enforcement, taxation, and regulating interstate commerce. Under the Articles, each state retained significant autonomy, with Congress functioning as a weak central body unable to compel states to contribute financially or militarily. Unanimous consent from all states was required to amend the Articles, which proved a significant obstacle to addressing its shortcomings. These limitations became increasingly evident in the post-war period, as the fledgling nation struggled with economic disarray, unpaid war debts, and internal unrest such as Shays' Rebellion.The Articles served as a critical stepping stone in American constitutional development, highlighting the need for a more robust federal system. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention convened to replace the Articles, ultimately resulting in the U.S. Constitution, which created a stronger, more balanced federal government. Despite its shortcomings, the Articles of Confederation represented a bold experiment in democratic governance and the principle of federalism that continues to shape the nation's identity.Continuing the procession of unqualified and ill-equipped appointees, President-elect Donald Trump has nominated members of his criminal defense team for key positions in the Justice Department, including Todd Blanche as deputy attorney general. Blanche, a former Cadwalader attorney, is currently defending Trump in federal cases related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election and the mishandling of classified documents. Prior to representing Trump, Blanche was best known for defending Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, who was convicted of tax and bank fraud in connection with consulting work for pro-Russian Ukrainian politicians. Blanche's nomination marks a significant appointment, as the deputy attorney general oversees the Justice Department's daily operations and investigative agencies like the FBI. Trump also nominated John Sauer, who argued successfully for broad presidential immunity in a 2020 election-related case, as solicitor general. Former Representative Matt Gaetz has been nominated for attorney general, signaling Trump's intent to place loyal defenders in top positions. Emil Bove, another member of Trump's legal team, has been tapped to serve as Blanche's acting deputy during the confirmation process. These appointments underscore Trump's aim to reshape the Justice Department amid ongoing scrutiny of investigations into him and his associates. All nominations require Senate confirmation but if you have retained faith in our institutions to keep bozos out of office, I have a bridge I'd love to sell you.Trump Picks Trio of His Lawyers for Top Justice Positions (3)Trump picks his defense lawyers for top Justice Department posts | ReutersThe Palm Springs city council has unanimously approved a $5.9 million reparations package for former residents of Section 14, a predominantly Black neighborhood demolished in the 1960s for commercial development. In addition to this settlement, the city plans to allocate $21 million toward housing and small business initiatives aimed at supporting the affected residents and their descendants. The Section 14 neighborhood also housed Latino families and other immigrants, many of whom have long sought recognition and compensation for their forced displacement. The settlement will provide payments to over 1,200 former residents and descendants, amounting to approximately $4,000 per person after legal fees. As part of the agreement, recipients must sign waivers releasing further claims against the city.Palm Springs Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein acknowledged the limits of financial restitution, describing the reparations as a symbolic step toward addressing past injustices. Advocacy groups like Section 14 Survivors and civil rights attorneys representing the displaced view the settlement as an important acknowledgment of the city's role in the destruction of the community. This initiative joins a small but growing number of reparations efforts in the U.S., such as Los Angeles County's 2022 return of prime beachfront property to the descendants of an African-American couple unjustly stripped of their land.California resort town of Palm Springs approves race reparations package | ReutersA federal appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a Texas student, B.W., who alleged he was bullied for being white and a supporter of Donald Trump. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals split 9-9, which let a lower court's decision stand. B.W. argued that from grades 8 through 10, he faced harassment, including being called "Whitey" by a teacher, having a meme made of him as a Ku Klux Klansman, and being ostracized for his political and religious beliefs. He claimed the school district violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits racial discrimination in federally funded education programs.A prior panel had ruled that B.W.'s allegations were primarily tied to his ideological beliefs, which Title VI does not cover, and the evenly split rehearing reaffirmed this. Conservative judges, including Trump appointee James Ho, dissented, asserting that B.W. plausibly faced severe racial harassment because of his whiteness. However, the majority of judges noted that ideological bullying does not qualify as racial discrimination under Title VI. B.W.'s lawyer has indicated plans to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, citing the importance of protecting students from discrimination regardless of race, religion, or political beliefs. The case highlights ongoing debates over the scope of federal anti-discrimination laws.Bullied Trump-supporting white student can't sue for race discrimination | ReutersIn a piece I wrote for Forbes today, I make the argument that eliminating the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit would be a disaster for American manufacturers and, ultimately, consumers. President-elect Donald Trump's plan to eliminate the $7,500 EV tax credit threatens significant setbacks for the U.S. automotive industry, innovation, and environmental goals. The credit has played a vital role in making EVs affordable and driving their adoption, helping U.S. automakers remain competitive in a global market heavily supported by subsidies in countries like China and the EU. Without it, American automakers could struggle to compete against lower-cost foreign EVs while managing the high expenses of research and development.The policy could exacerbate issues already created by recent changes to R&D tax rules, which have limited immediate expensing for innovation costs. Combined, these moves could raise EV prices, reduce demand, and stifle the momentum of U.S. automakers like Ford and GM as they work to electrify their fleets. The decision may inadvertently benefit Tesla, whose cost advantages and market dominance could allow it to weather the loss, but other manufacturers, including smaller startups like Rivian and Lucid, may falter.Beyond economic consequences, removing the credit could slow the transition to clean transportation, impeding progress on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from one of the largest polluting sectors. The EV tax credit has been instrumental in fostering innovation, supporting high-quality jobs, and positioning the U.S. as a global leader in EV technology. Eliminating it risks conceding that leadership and undermining a vital segment of the future economy.Eliminating The Electric Vehicle Tax Credit Would Be A Huge MistakeThis week's closing theme is by Ludwig van BeethovenThis week's closing theme comes from one of the most towering figures in classical music. Renowned for his symphonies, sonatas, and concertos, Beethoven's influence extends beyond music into the cultural consciousness of resilience and innovation. Born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770, Beethoven overcame immense personal challenges, including progressive hearing loss, to create works of unparalleled emotional depth and complexity. His compositions bridged the Classical and Romantic eras, making him a symbol of human creativity and perseverance.One of Beethoven's lesser-known yet fascinating works is The Ruins of Athens, composed in 1811 as incidental music for a play by August von Kotzebue. Written to celebrate the opening of a new theater in Pest, Hungary (modern-day Budapest), the piece reflects Beethoven's enthusiasm for themes of cultural revival and enlightenment. The play itself portrays Athena, the goddess of wisdom, returning to find her city in ruins, only to witness its eventual rebirth—a story that resonated with Beethoven's own ideals of progress and renewal.The music is both dramatic and celebratory, featuring memorable melodies and rhythms that evoke the grandeur of ancient Greece. One of its most famous sections, the Turkish March, showcases Beethoven's playful side, incorporating exotic, percussion-driven elements inspired by Ottoman military music. The Ruins of Athens is an example of Beethoven's ability to compose across genres, crafting music that serves a narrative while remaining compelling as a standalone work.As we reflect on the themes of destruction and rebuilding in The Ruins of Athens, Beethoven reminds us of the enduring power of art to inspire hope and renewal, even in the face of adversity.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's The Ruins of Athens — enjoy.

His next chapter took him to Georgia State University, where he earned an MBA, setting the stage for a career in law that would be anything but ordinary.Scott opens up about his law school years—sharing insights from his internships and clerkships that revealed not just what he wanted to do with his legal career, but more importantly, what he didn't want to do. This clarity would come in handy when his post-law school career at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft hit a major roadblock: the 2008 Financial Crisis. Out of work and navigating mounting financial stress, Scott pivoted, hanging his shingle before eventually landing at McGovern Legal Services—a humbling but pivotal experience.In a candid conversation, Scott shares how those tough times reshaped his outlook and the lessons he learned about thriving in adversity. He dives into what makes a great associate, the importance of taking initiative, and why being proactive is key to career growth.Finally, we bring things full circle to Scott's current role at KION North America, a position that allowed him to return home to South Carolina.

50. Karen Gray - A+E Culture of Kindness “People sometimes confuse kindness with avoiding direct conversation. But, actually kindness is equal to direct conversation. And if you don't have direct conversations, if you're afraid in a business when something's not going right to say, you know, this isn't going right, but say it respectfully. Then you have a problem in your business on the flip side, when we're doing that, when we're saying this isn't going right, but I have to be kind and respectful when I convey this information to you. Now, both parties or multiple parties are in a place where they can think through and get to the issues."    Guest Info: Karen Gray is Executive Vice President, Human Resources for A+E Networks® Group, which encompasses A&E®, Lifetime®, The HISTORY® Channel, Lifetime® Movies, FYI,™ and VICELANDSM.
