Jeffrey Epstein maintained a close professional relationship with Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global Management, from 2012 to 2017. During this period, Black paid Epstein approximately $158 million for financial services, including estate planning and tax advice. An independent review by the law firm Dechert LLP revealed that Epstein's strategies potentially saved Black at least $1.3 billion. Despite Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution, Black continued their association, citing Epstein's expertise in complex financial matters.The extent of Epstein's access to Black has been a focal point of scrutiny. Reports indicate that Epstein had significant influence over Black's personal financial decisions, leading to questions about the appropriateness of their relationship. In response to growing concerns, Black requested Apollo's board to conduct an independent review of his ties with Epstein, which ultimately led to his resignation as CEO in early 2021. This case underscores the complexities and potential risks of maintaining professional relationships with individuals of questionable repute.(commercial at 11:33)To contact me :Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.crainsnewyork.com/finance/epstein-had-door-apollo-his-deep-ties-black

The BigLaw fixture and its ex-partner have been targeted with suits on both sides of the Atlantic alleging a range of systemic corruption.

On the episode, Jenn and Steve discuss lawsuits against government officers, the facts and arguments in this particular case, their amicus briefs, and the Justices’ discussion at oral arguments yesterday morning. They also briefly address general themes from the February sitting, which also included consideration of the challenge to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency clean air regulations in West Virginia v.

As COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and businesses begin to return to the office, companies are taking a variety of approaches to managing the transition. While some are staying at home for now and others have gone back full time, most are opting for a hybrid working policy. While this might be a sensible and fair solution for the time being, having staff work both at home as well as the office raises several data security and GDPR compliance concerns. we are joined by Dechert LLP's Director of Risk and Compliance Mohbub Rahman to explore the key things you need to remember to keep data safe during the latest transition.

With the change in presidential administration, some critics and scholars have argued that a need for independence at agencies like the Department of Justice should be reconsidered. To whom is the Department of Justice accountable? Whose interests does it represent? When a change in executive leadership occurs, should the policies at agencies like DOJ be subject to change as well? And, if so, how far does that latitude extend—to prosecutorial policies, to enforcement discretion, to the questions of constitutional and statutory and criminal law interpretation delegated for resolution to DOJ? This distinguished panel discussion will address these issues and the core question of which governmental actors our constitutional system has charged with directing the arc of the use of that authority.Featuring:-- Bob Bauer, Professor of Practice and Distinguished Scholar in Residence, New York University Law School; former White House Counsel-- Steven Engel, Partner, Dechert LLP; former Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice-- Jamie Gorelick, Partner, WilmerHale; former Deputy Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice-- Hon.

200 Years of American Financial Panics: Crashes, Recessions, Depressions, and the Technology that Will Change It All by Thomas P. Vartanian From 1819 to COVID-19, 200 Years of American Financial Panics offers a comprehensive historical account of financial panics in America. Through a meticulous dissection of historical events and the benefit of his experience handling many of the country's largest bank failures, Thomas P. Vartanian reveals why so many more devastating financial crises have occurred in America than nearly every other country in the world. Vartanian provides extensive evidence of how the collision of policy-driven government actions and profit-oriented business performance have disrupted market equilibrium and made the U.S. system of financial oversight less effective and more susceptible to missing the signs of future financial crises, including policies that: imposed tariffs and chartered dozens of poorly regulated, uncapitalized state banks that facilitated panics in the 19th century; created ambivalence over whether gold, silver or paper money should be the preeminent form of payment, creating the perfect conditions for the depression of 1893; kept interest rates low to assist the central banks in England, Germany and France, allowing an overheated U.S. stock market to shift into overdrive and crash in 1929; planted the seeds of the S&L crisis more than twenty years before when Congress imposed artificial limits on deposit interest rates and the states capped mortgage interest rates to increase homeownership; pressured banks in the 1990's to increase mortgage lending to increase home ownership while the Fed engaged in loose monetary policies, adding fuel to the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. 200 Years of American Financial Panics dissects financial crises in a way not attempted before, concluding that the pyramid of governmental oversight intended to foster economic safety and stability has been turned on its head to its detriment. Vartanian provides readers with a unique list of practical solutions. Most importantly, his analysis of financial technology, from artificial intelligence and Big Data to cryptocurrencies and quantum computing, forecasts how financial markets and government regulation will change. 200 Years of American Financial Panics is a must read for anyone that wants to understand their money, financial markets, and how they are going to change in the future. About Thomas P. Vartanian Thomas P. Vartanian is the Executive Director of the Program on Financial Regulation & Technology at George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School, where he is also a Professor of Law. Before joining Scalia Law School, he chaired the Financial Institution's practices at two international law firms, Dechert LLP and Fried Frank LLP, through four financial crises. Both as a regulator and private practitioner, he has been involved in 30 of the 50 largest bank failures in American history, developing a deep understanding of the causes of financial collapses. He has been described by clients in Chambers as "one of the best financial services lawyers in America." Mr. Vartanian served in the Reagan Administration as General Counsel of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and the FSLIC, where he authorized the receivership, sale, or liquidation of hundreds of failed institutions in the S&L crisis, including the first national and cross-industry financial institution combinations in the country. Prior to that, he served in the Carter Administration in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency as Special Assistant to the Chief Counsel. Mr. Vartanian is a futurist and expert in financial technology. He was Chairman of the American Bar Association's Cyberspace Law Committee between 1998 and 2002, where he chaired an international task force of lawyers from twenty countries which issued a seminal report on the novel issues created at that time by doi...

OPINION DE MIGUEL ANGEL PICHETTO (ANALISIS POLITICO), MARTIN TETAZ (ANALISIS ECONOMICO) Y EMILIO APUD (YPF). Mientras que Wall Street negocia con leve tendencia alcista para el S&P 500 y el Nasdaq, con nuevos máximos intradiarios, las acciones de YPF suben más de 83,5% en dólares y se transan otra vez por encima de los 4 dólares. Con el empuje de la petrolera, también avanzan los indicadores de la Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires, con selectivas mejoras este miércoles. Las acciones argentinas buscaban una senda de recuperación, al ritmo de la tendencia impuesta por las acciones de la empresa petrolera estatal, que impulsa un canje de deuda que vence el viernes. El índice S&P Merval de Buenos Aires registra un alza del 1%, a 50.243unidades, a las 14:00 horas, donde las acciones de YPF subían un 4,9 a 649 pesos. Esta suba moderada se da “en un marco en el que los inversores siguen atentos a las negociaciones entre el Gobierno y el FMI, pero además sobre el canje de YPF, donde bonistas están a favor y otros rechazan la última oferta”. La nueva oferta de YPF es señal positiva para los tenedores del título 2021, ya que aumenta el peso relativo del pago cash versus el nuevo bono 2026”, indicó un reporte del agente de liquidación y compensación Neix. YPF emitió un comunicado en la noche del martes en el que señaló que si este canje no resulta aceptado por los bonistas, una reestructuración futura podría tener términos menos favorables para los acreedores. El comité de bonistas liderado por Dechert LLP, DLA Piper Argentina (Grupo Dechert), comunicó que considera positivas las mejoras en los términos de canje de deuda que hizo la compañía controlada por el Estado, luego de que otro grupo de acreedores rechazó la oferta de la compañía. YPF advirtió que una reestructuración futura podría tener términos menos favorables para los acreedores “Este grupo apoya los esfuerzos de buena fe de la empresa para adaptarse a las demandas de los inversores y espera que las mejoras contribuyan en gran medida para convencer a los acreedores internacionales para que sigan invirtiendo en YPF”.

Welche Bedeutung hat das sogenannte Weißbuch der europäischen Kommission zur Unternehmenssubvention aus Drittstaaten, wen betrifft es und wer muss was wann melden? – Antworten auf diese Fragen gibt uns heute Clemens Graf York von Wartenburg, Partner bei Dechert LLP, im BVK-Expertentalk mit unserer stv. Geschäftsführerin Swantje von Massenbach. Besonders spannend: Wie werden dies kleinere Mitgliedstaaten, die auf drittstaatliche Investitionen angewiesen sind, beurteilen? Eins ist aber jetzt schon klar: Für Investoren aus Drittstaaten werden die neuen Regelungen auf jeden Fall mehr Komplexität bedeuten. Gerade für die M&A Praxis dürfte es in jedem Fall eine Herausforderung werden. Das gilt auch für inländische Akteure, die ein Unternehmen an einen Nicht-EU Investor veräußern wollen.

Given the size and scope of the federal government, many agency regulations, guidance documents, and cases are left in various stages of development as the executive branch changes hands. The first episode of our Legal Options for the New Administration Teleforum Series focused on pending litigation in the executive branch. Is the administration free to dismiss or stop prosecuting cases which do not align with its policies? Can the administration stop defending actions in court? What are the constraints?

Consovoy, Partner, Consovoy McCarthy Park PLLC.

In the summer of 2015, the Federalist Society lost a great friend with the passing of Professor Michael W. Lewis. Professor Lewis was a veteran, a scholar, and a loving father and husband. His specialties were in the areas of the law of armed conflict and International Humanitarian Law. Last year, the Mike Lewis Memorial Teleforum focused on the U.S. Department of Defense Law of War Manual. This year, our experts will discuss the White House Report on the Use of Force. -- In December 2016, the Obama Administration released a comprehensive report on the "legal and policy frameworks" governing the use of military force. The report sets forth the Obama Administration's view of the domestic and international legal bases for military operations against terrorist groups; the law of armed conflict and targeting in those operations; detention; civilian casualties; interrogation; and other related issues. This Podcast analyzed the document's description of the applicable law, but also considered why the Obama Administration chose to release this unusual document at this point and what effect (if any) it will have on policy and practice going forward. -- Featuring: Mr. Steven G. Bradbury, Partner, Dechert LLP; Mr. Phillip Carter, Senior Fellow & Director of the Military, Veterans, and Society Program, Center for a New American Security; and Adam Klein, Senior Fellow, Center for a New American Security.
