Seconda puntata in diretta dal Festival dell'Economia di Trento. Noi seguiamo le nostre tradizioni: è venerdì e si parte con la Squadra Antitruffa Serpente Corallo in una settimana che ricorderemo, perché proprio il nostro profilo Instagram di Due di denari è stato clonato e sfruttato in modo fraudolento per cercare di attirare ascoltatori e altri contatti in una chat di gruppo in cui sarebbero state consigliate non si sa bene quali opportunità di investimento. Tra questi anche Paola Soccorso, responsabile dell'Ufficio Educazione Finanziaria di Consob, che ci racconta cosa le ha proposto l'account-corallo con i suoi messaggi.Vengono poi a trovarci due ospiti negli studi di Radio 24 allestiti in Piazza Cesare Battisti:Emilio Gisondi, amministratore delegato di Tinexta Defence Tech, è un grande esperto di sicurezza informatica e partecipa a Trento ad un incontro proprio su questo tema. Con lui approfondiamo l'importanza della cybersecurity in ambiti quali il risparmio, il settore bancario e le transazioni finanziarie.Giampiero Falasca, voce nota agli ascoltatori di Due di denari, è giuslavorista per lo studio Dla Piper ed esperto per Il Sole 24 ORE.

On May 5, 2025, PERSUIT, a technology company that specializes in helping corporate legal departments select and manage outside counsel, announced that it had acquired Apperio, a spend-management platform for corporate legal, in a move designed to create an end-to-end workflow solution spanning everything from matter intake to invoice payment.   “This acquisition accelerates our ability to connect every point in the outside counsel workflow with intelligence,” Jim Delkousis, cofounder and CEO of PERSUIT, said at the time. “We're not just managing spend — we're turning it into performance.”   This week on LawNext, Delkousis joins host Bob Ambrogi to share his vision for PERSUIT and why he believes the Apperio acquisition brings “superpowers” that will help propel the company further forward in realizing that vision. The episode was recorded on the day PERSUIT announced the acquisition.  Before founding PERSUIT nearly nine years ago, Delkousis had an accomplished career as a litigation attorney, serving as a partner at King & Wood Mallesons in Australia and later helping establish DLA Piper's Middle East practice in Dubai. In the conversation, he will discuss how his experience on the law firm side informed his mission to shift the legal industry from time-based to value-based fee arrangements. He will also talk about the strategic vision behind the Apperio acquisition and how generative AI is accelerating the evolution of legal service delivery.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Regulating artificial intelligence is like driving a car: some prefer clear speed limits and guardrails, others enjoy an open road with minimal signs. The EU and the US exemplify these two different philosophies in AI regulation.

Et kinesisk firma har lanceret AI-sprogmodellen Deepseek, og det kan endnu engang give udfordringer, når vi i Europa med regulering forsøger at beskytte borgernes data.Samtidig er det store europæiske samtaleemne i disse uger, at opbygge vores egen sikkerhed og uafhængighed af USA. Men hvilken rolle spiller AI her, og kan opbruddet måske blive et kærkomment skub i retning mod, at vi skaber vores egen europæiske sprogmodel?Gæster:Marlene Winther Plas, advokat og partner, DLA Piper, Head of IPT.Sarah Paustian Sander, advokat, DLA Piper.Vært:Magnus Krabbe

Con il 2025 sono arrivate due novità importanti in materia di Naspi, il trattamento spettante ai lavoratori che perdono il lavoro contro la propria volontà (licenziamento, dimissioni sorrette da giusta causa, conclusione di un contratto a termine). La prima, contenuta nella legge di bilancio, modifica il requisito contributivo - tredici settimane di versamenti - che non riguarda più i quattro anni precedenti l’interruzione del rapporto, ma il periodo che parte dall'ultimo evento di dimissioni o risoluzione consensuale di un rapporto di lavoro. L'obiettivo è di evitare che un lavoratore si faccia assumere e poi licenziare da un datore di lavoro compiacente solo per ottenere l'indennità.C'è poi la nuova disciplina delle “dimissioni di fatto” contenuta nel Collegato lavoro e approvata per combattere il fenomeno delle “dimissioni nascoste”, con cui il lavoratore che voleva lasciare il lavoro ometteva deliberatamente di dimettersi ma provocava il proprio licenziamento, in particolare assentandosi senza giustificazione per un lungo periodo, con l’unico scopo di ottenere l’accesso alla Naspi.Ci aiuta a fare il punto su queste novità l'avv. Giampiero Falasca, giuslavorista dello studio Dla Piper ed esperto per Il Sole 24 ORE.Nella prima parte della trasmissione parliamo di welfare con Andrea Orlandini, Segretario Generale AIDP, Associazione italiana per la direzione del personale. Con lui ci chiediamo come stia cambiando il nostro modo di lavorare tra fringe benefit, incentivi, smart working.

This Day in Legal History: President Carter Restores Jefferson Davis' CitizenshipOn October 17, 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation restoring the U.S. citizenship of Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederate States of America. Davis had been stripped of his citizenship after the Civil War due to his leadership role in the Confederacy, and the move to restore it came more than a century later. The decision was seen by some as a gesture of national reconciliation, symbolically healing old wounds between the North and South. However, it was also a controversial move, as Davis was not only a secessionist but an ardent defender of slavery.Carter's choice to sign this bill retroactively raised questions about how the country should deal with figures who represented divisive and morally fraught causes. Critics argued that reinstating Davis's citizenship whitewashed his role in leading a rebellion against the United States and preserving the institution of slavery. Supporters, on the other hand, claimed it was a necessary act of unity, separating Davis's legacy from the Confederacy's defense of slavery and focusing on broader themes of forgiveness.Given Carter's strong commitment to human rights, his decision to restore Davis's citizenship seems somewhat incongruous with his principles. The act largely ignored the deep racial implications of Davis's legacy, particularly at a time when the civil rights movement had recently reshaped America's consciousness. By focusing on reconciliation over accountability, Carter risked downplaying the significance of Davis's actions and the values for which the Confederacy stood.DLA Piper argues that Anisha Mehta, a former senior associate, was terminated due to significant performance issues, not because of her pregnancy, and is seeking to dismiss her lawsuit. Mehta claims she was fired six days after requesting maternity leave, alleging pregnancy discrimination, leave interference, and retaliation in violation of federal and state laws. The firm counters that her dismissal was based on a series of errors, including failing to comply with federal procedural rules and nearly making a major trademark filing mistake. DLA Piper asserts that partners were supportive of Mehta's pregnancy and have provided evidence of her poor performance. They argue that Mehta has not shown any evidence of discrimination. The case is pending before Judge Analisa Torres in the Southern District of New York, with Wigdor LLP representing Mehta and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP representing DLA Piper.DLA Piper Says Associate Fired Over Performance, Not PregnancySpaceX is suing the California Coastal Commission for voting against an increase in rocket launches at Vandenberg Space Force Base, claiming the decision was politically biased against CEO Elon Musk. The commission voted 6-4 to deny a U.S. military request to raise SpaceX's permitted annual launches from 36 to 50. SpaceX alleges the vote was influenced by Musk's political views, specifically his support for Donald Trump, and included remarks by commissioners criticizing Musk's public statements. The lawsuit argues that the commission overstepped its authority and retaliated against SpaceX for Musk's constitutionally protected speech. SpaceX is seeking a court order to prevent the commission from interfering with its launch program, asserting federal law preempts the agency's decision. The case is being heard in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.SpaceX Claims Political Bias Against Musk on California LaunchesRegardless of who wins the 2024 U.S. presidential election—Kamala Harris or Donald Trump—both will have fewer opportunities to significantly reshape the federal judiciary. By the end of Joe Biden's term, he and Trump together will have appointed nearly half of all federal judges over eight years, including a major generational shift with younger appointees. The supply of judges eligible for semi-retirement, which creates new vacancies, is shrinking, and many judges time their retirements based on the political party of the sitting president. As a result, the next president will likely have fewer judicial appointments than Trump or Biden had. The U.S. Supreme Court, with its 6-3 conservative majority, is also unlikely to see significant changes unless justices like Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, or Sonia Sotomayor retire. The president's ability to appoint judges could also depend on Senate control. Trump's second term could see more conservative judges like Aileen Cannon, while Harris is expected to continue Biden's focus on demographic and professional diversity in appointments. Both sides see the next presidency as pivotal for the judiciary's future.Harris or Trump, next president will have less impact on shape of US judiciary | ReutersRepublicans are preparing for potential legal challenges to the 2024 U.S. presidential election, filing lawsuits across various states, which forces Democrats into a defensive position to protect the election's legitimacy. Republicans claim these suits are aimed at ensuring proper vote counting and preventing illegal voting, echoing the unfounded fraud claims from Donald Trump's 2020 loss. Democrats, including Kamala Harris's campaign, defend the election processes as fair, citing expansions in mail-in and early voting in key swing states. They largely rely on existing election systems and judicial rulings to safeguard voting procedures. Recent legal battles in states like Georgia and Arizona demonstrate the Democrats' focus on preventing efforts they see as undermining the electoral process, such as hand-counting ballots or questioning voter eligibility. While some local officials have resisted certifying elections since 2020, courts and state officials have consistently intervened to uphold results. Both parties view the certification process as a critical battleground heading into the election.As Republicans prepare to contest election, Democrats play defense | Reuters This is a public episode.

Profit sharing is at the heart of the private equity incentive model: deliver LPs a certain return and keep 20 percent of the profits. But private equity managers in the UK look set to pay a higher tax on any profit they take from such investments. The Labour government, which was voted into power in July, has said it aims to raise the tax on carried interest so it's closer to the income tax rate of 45 percent. Doing so would raise £565 million pounds ($746 million; €671 million) in annual revenue, according to the government's estimates. In this episode, we sit down with Michael Graham, a partner at law firm DLA Piper who specialises in tax for private funds. Graham has been part of the consultation group providing the UK's tax authority with details on what a potential hike in carried interest tax could mean. Graham discusses the lessons the UK can learn from other jurisdictions, why it's unlikely professionals in the UK private equity industry will leave en masse, why a flat tax rate is an attractive idea, and what 'capital at risk' may really mean.

Texas and California have witnessed a crazy growth in Solar and Batteries in recent years. In 2024 California has 24GW of Solar and 9GW of batteries on its grid; Texas has grown even faster with 31GW of Solar and 10GW of batteries.When it comes to the Energy Transition, you can make the following analogy: public policies are the land and financial markets are the rain. But the seeds are battle-hardened entrepreneurs. Laurent and Gerard love to invite such heroes of the development of Renewables. They don't build pipelines of projects. They built projects. One of those American Heroes is Sheldon Kimber, CEO of Intersect Power. In the past 8 years, Intersect has delivered 4GW of Solar and 2.5GWh of batteries. By focusing on a few huge projects, by developing a unique expertise in both Texas and California. Along the way, the Company has closed $5B in project financings and raised nearly $1B in corporate equity (TPG, CAI, Trilantic) to support the buildout of the Base Portfolio and additional growth projects. But Sheldon's success is also linked to the development of a secure and efficient supply chain.The conversation is so rich that we didn't have time to delve into his plan to develop e-fuels for Taylor Swift private jet.  And, as Daniel said: “Stumpf ist Trumpf”.  We thank DLA Piper for supporting the show

Glencore's CEO Gary Nagle has once described ESG as “some person in the basement in office number 27 engaged in a box-ticking exercise.” And a lot of fossil fuel companies – while being less explicit – share the same opinion on ESG… and have voiced their hostility indirectly through complicit media outlets.The ESG movement is facing a significant backlash. On the one hand there has been too much greenwashing, on the other hand, ESG has become a political punching ball in certain US States dependent on the fossil fuel industry. Some European Oil companies want to list in NY to get a better valuation and are complaining about too much sustainability scrutiny. And Larry Fink, Blackrock CEO, went in the last four years from hero to zero of the ESG wave.Going back a few years a lot of the ESG popularity was linked to an overweighting of Tech and Luxury stocks which performed wonderfully, a trend partially reversed by the war in Ukraine and the rise of interest rates. In 2024, we have seen outflows in ESG labelled funds from a peak three years ago. Still, they represent, according to the FT, a 7tnUSD pot of money, so it is a big industry.We're not experts… but a system that rates ExxonMobil higher than Tesla on ESG raises eyebrows.To add insult to injury, there is a multiplication of standards and regulations (CSRD, SFDR) which make the whole ESG universe very confusing. There are byzantine debates about passive vs active management. There are endless conversations about the adequacy of “engagement” and if shareholders should behave as activists. And finally, there is a clear transatlantic drift when it comes to that issue.We are totally lost! To try to understand better if ESG is dead, or if it will have to reinvent itself, we bring in Jean Jacques Barberis Deputy CEO and Head of Institutional and Corporate Clients Division & ESG at Amundi. Amundi is EU's largest EU Asset Manager and a leader in Green investing. Jean-Jacques Barbéris is currently responsible for the global development of the institutional business at Amundi. With Jean Jacques, Laurent and Gerard take no prisoners and call a spade a spade… and then realise that Paris-aligned targets are for real, that “engagement” with companies deliver results, and that a proper investment strategy starts to yield results.We thank DLA Piper for supporting the show.
