César Rivera y Lucía Astarloa, socios de Cuatrecasas y expertos en conflictos societarios, conversan con Idoya Fernández, socia y directora del Área de Conocimiento e Innovación de la Firma, sobre un tema capital del gobierno corporativo: el deber de diligencia de los administradores, la regla de la discrecionalidad empresarial y las consecuencias de su infracción. A partir de la regulación de la Ley de Sociedades de Capital, los expertos exponen qué significa actuar con la diligencia de un ordenado empresario, qué exige el proceso de toma de decisiones responsables y cómo se articula el puerto seguro de la discrecionalidad empresarial del artículo 226 LSC, que protege decisiones de negocio razonables tomadas de buena fe, informadas y siguiendo un procedimiento adecuado. A continuación, analizan dos sentencias del Tribunal Supremo de 2023 y de 2025 que confirman que las infracciones tributarias imputables a fallos de organización, control o reacción pueden fundamentar la acción social de responsabilidad frente a los administradores. Finalmente, exponen el deber de legalidad de los administradores, que se proyecta hoy como una manifestación del deber de diligencia, aunque persiste un debate doctrinal vivo sobre su alcance, el papel de la eficiencia en el incumplimiento y la compensación de beneficios. Este episodio ofrece pautas operativas para consejeros y administradores: cómo preparar, deliberar y documentar decisiones estratégicas; cuál es el alcance del puerto seguro de la regla de la discrecionalidad empresarial; y qué buenas prácticas de gobernanza son decisivas para sostener, mañana, las decisiones adoptadas hoy. ‘Deber de diligencia de los administradores' es el nuevo episodio de ‘Tendencias Legales', la serie de podcasts de Cuatrecasas que aporta, a través de un formato conversacional entre expertos, una visión técnica y aplicada sobre los debates jurídicos de mayor actualidad y repercusión económica.Hosted by Ausha.

Legal experts discuss the critical role civil legal services play in addressing the legal needs of older Americans on Talk Justice. Last year, LSC-funded legal organizations assisted more than 312,000 Americans age 60 and up with their legal problems. Issues surrounding wills, power of attorney and advance directives are common for aging Americans, and seniors are often targeted for scams and fraud. These legal crises can exacerbate other stressors, such as rising housing costs and medical issues that can undermine seniors' safety, stability and ability to age in their home with dignity and autonomy.

This Day in Legal History: Newlands ResolutionOn July 7, 1898, President William McKinley signed the Newlands Resolution, formally annexing the Hawaiian Islands into the United States. Unlike traditional territorial expansion through treaties, this annexation occurred via a joint resolution of Congress—an unusual and legally contested mechanism. The resolution was named after Representative Francis Newlands of Nevada and passed by a narrow margin, reflecting deep divisions over imperialism, expansion, and national identity. Supporters argued that annexing Hawaii would bolster American strategic and economic interests, particularly as the U.S. was engaged in the Spanish-American War and needed a naval base in the Pacific.The legality of annexation by joint resolution, as opposed to treaty ratification requiring a two-thirds Senate majority, sparked constitutional debate. Critics contended that this method sidestepped constitutional checks and amounted to imperial overreach. Native Hawaiians had overwhelmingly opposed annexation, as demonstrated in the Kūʻē Petitions signed by over 20,000 islanders. The resolution disregarded this opposition, cementing a colonial dynamic that would echo in future U.S. territorial acquisitions.The annexation also laid the groundwork for the eventual formation of the Territory of Hawaii in 1900 and its statehood in 1959, though not without continued controversy and calls for sovereignty. Legally, the Newlands Resolution exemplified the flexibility—and limits—of congressional authority in foreign affairs and territorial governance. It also introduced enduring questions about consent, self-determination, and the legitimacy of U.S. expansionism under constitutional law.This event highlights how domestic legal processes were used to justify international actions, revealing tensions between democratic ideals and imperial ambitions.A rare trial is beginning in Boston over a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's policy of deporting international students and faculty involved in pro-Palestinian activism. The case was brought by academic groups including the American Association of University Professors and the Middle East Studies Association. It centers on actions taken after Trump signed executive orders targeting non-citizens with so-called "hateful ideology" and promising to fight antisemitism. Plaintiffs allege that these directives led the State and Homeland Security Departments to revoke visas and detain students like Columbia graduate Mahmoud Khalil and Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, both of whom were targeted after expressing pro-Palestinian views.Unlike most Trump-era immigration cases, this one is proceeding to a full trial rather than being decided early by a judge. U.S. District Judge William Young emphasized that a trial is the best path to uncover the truth. Plaintiffs argue the policy violates the First Amendment, accusing the administration of suppressing political dissent on college campuses. The administration denies a deportation policy exists, claiming decisions are made based on security concerns, not ideology. Homeland Security officials insist the U.S. won't tolerate advocacy that they perceive as violent or anti-American.The trial outcome could shape how immigration authorities interpret and apply free speech protections to non-citizens in academic settings. It's only the second Trump-era policy case to reach trial under Judge Young, who has publicly criticized the judiciary for avoiding fact-finding through trials.Rare trial to begin in challenge to Trump-backed deportations of pro-Palestinian campus activists | ReutersApple has formally appealed a €500 million ($587 million) fine imposed by the European Commission for allegedly violating the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The Commission found that Apple restricted app developers from directing users to more affordable options outside its App Store, which regulators said limited competition and consumer choice. Apple filed its lawsuit at Europe's second-highest court on the last day allowed for appeal, arguing that the fine is excessive and that the EU is overreaching by trying to dictate how it operates its App Store.The company claims it altered its policies to comply with the DMA and to avoid further daily fines, which could amount to €50 million per day. Apple also contends that the Commission's demands are both confusing for developers and harmful to users. Despite the changes, EU regulators are still reviewing the company's new terms and have solicited feedback from app developers before deciding if additional enforcement is needed.The case is part of broader efforts by the EU to rein in the influence of major tech companies and ensure fair digital market practices under the newly implemented DMA.Apple takes fight against $587 million EU antitrust fine to court | ReutersMaryland Legal Aid (MDLA), a critical legal support system for low-income individuals, especially women and domestic violence survivors, is facing a potential funding crisis due to the Trump administration's 2026 budget proposal. The proposal includes $21 million to close out the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), which provides federal funding to 130 nonprofit legal aid programs across the country, including MDLA. This move would eliminate a key source of support for clients like a Moroccan immigrant mother in Baltimore, who received urgent legal help from MDLA while still hospitalized from domestic abuse.LSC-funded services assist people earning at or below 125% of the federal poverty line, a group that includes a significant portion of Baltimore residents, where one in five people live in poverty. MDLA, the largest legal aid provider in the state, operates 12 offices and assists hundreds of clients each week with issues like eviction defense, expungement, and protection from abuse. Despite receiving only 14% of its funding from LSC, losing this support would result in fewer clients being served at a time when demand is growing.Staff at MDLA describe their work as essential, often likening their intake offices to emergency rooms. Without legal aid, tenants and abuse victims often face court alone, without understanding their rights. Advocates say that legal aid services prevent homelessness, violence, and broader social harm. While similar efforts to cut LSC funding have failed in the past, the current budget process will determine if the latest proposal gains traction.Legal Aid That Helped Abuse Victim Threatened with Trump Cuts This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Fund Friday podcast, hosts Craig McGrouther and Joe Pistorius dive into the critical role of asset management in multifamily. Joe shares insights from managing over 2,500 units across 11 properties, revealing how different property vintages require different levels of care and why having the right on-site teams can make or break a property's performance. The conversation explores innovative approaches to team structure, including creating separate career tracks for sales-focused leasing agents versus operations-focused managers, and how Lone Star's unique "paid-up unit" bonus structure drives both collections and retention. They also discusses how LSC is leveraging social media platforms like TikTok for leasing, moving beyond traditional apartment listing sites to meet the next generation of renters where they are.Apply to attend the LSC Summit 2025:www.lscsummit.comDownload our FREE Passive Investor Guide:https://www.lscre.com/content/passive-investor-guide Subscribe to our newsletter and get the FREE Underwriting Toolkit:https://www.lscre.com/resource/fof-underwriting-toolkitLearn more about Lone Star Capital:www.lscre.comFollow me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-beardsleyRead my latest articles:https://www.lscre.com/blog
