What SEC’s Transparency Rule Means for Investors, Advisers and Funds | JD Supra
Earlier this summer, we wrote about both new and amended rules proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”) regarding private funds, their advisers, and transparency to investors (the “Proposed Rules”). On August 23, 2023, the SEC adopted the final rule (the “Rule”), which cut back certain aspects of the Proposed Rules while still expanding the regulatory environment for private fund advisers and investors.
Proposed SEC Rules Aim at Putting Private Funds More in Public View | JD Supra
Whether everyday Americans saving for retirement, college tuition, or their forever homes know it or not, there’s a chance that their money is tied, directly or indirectly, to private funds. Moreover, those Americans probably don’t consider themselves investors in private funds and likely view private fund investors as ultra-high net worth individuals and institutional investors.
Location, Location, Location: Asset Protection for LLC Founders | JD Supra
A primary focus when starting a business should answer this question: What structure provides the most protection? New founders can get bogged down in the minutia about whether to choose a corporation or a limited liability company (“LLC”), how they want the business to be taxed, or what titles the owners should have. These are all very important decisions, but they can distract from the focus on protecting the owner individually, as well as his or her assets and income.
How Renewable Energy Developers Can Maximize ITC Value In Deal-Making | JD Supra
On August 16, 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”). Among other things, the Act has notable consequences for the renewable energy industry, including restoring the production tax credit (“PTC”) and the investment tax credit (“ITC”), the former of which was established under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, and the latter of which was established under the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Meme Stock Mania Sets Stage for Proposed Game-Changing SEC Rule | JD Supra
On Wednesday, December 14, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) affirmatively voted to advance some major changes to U.S. stock-market rules, perhaps the biggest changes to such rules in nearly 20 years.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision, NCAA v.
Life May Not Be Fair, But Interested Party Transactions Should Be | JD Supra
Overview When a court reviews contested business transactions of a Delaware corporation, they typically rely on one of two standards of review: the “business judgment rule” or the “entire fairness standard.” The business judgment rule is the default standard of review, where the plaintiff has the burden of proof and which sets forth a presumption that “in making a business decision[,] the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good faith, and in the honest belief that the...
NIL - Why You Should Care - Contracts and Commercial Law - United States
Last month marked the first anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's watershed decision, NCAA v. Alston, which opened the door for student-athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness, or "NIL." The Court held that the restrictions imposed upon NCAA member schools limiting the educational benefits they can provide to student-athletes violated anti-trust law.
Legal implications for student athletes and NIL
A: Simply put, NIL refers to one's "name, image and likeness." More particularly, the news surrounding the term refers to a student-athlete's ability to profit off their NIL, which prior to last year, was largely prohibited by the NCAA.
