Shareholders approve Office Depot acquisition, but will FTC?
Whenever a merger of major corporations is proposed, a lot has to happen before the vision becomes reality. Not only must the businesses engage in talks both internally and with one another about the possibility of a merger or acquisition, shareholders need to be convinced to get on board, as well as the Federal Trade Commission and, to an extent, the public. All of these factors can impact the success of a merger or acquisition. More >
Trustee Discretion and Liability of an Individual
It's an understatement to say that the role of the trustee is fraught with pitfalls. Often times, a settlor creates a trust to suit his or her needs, but rarely does the settlor take into consideration, the difficulties the trustee will face when administering the trust. The discretion given to the trustee can provide a gateway for added liability, and the creation of a trust should take the twin concerns of trustee discretion and trustee liability into as much consideration as the disposition of the trust assets.

Gov. Beshear signed House Bill 440 into law on April 1st, with the provisions of the new law becoming effective on June 24th.

The problem for many business owners is taking the initiative to get an appropriate succession plan in place. Once the inertia to doing so is overcome, though, getting an effective plan in place doesn’t have to be that hard. More >
Charging Orders on LLCs in Kentucky
The organization of any business as a limited liability company ("LLC") brings with it attendant protections for the members from the liabilities that arise in the course of the business as well as beneficial tax treatment. This protection is not a two-way street, however: the member's financial interest in the LLC does not receive complete protection from the member's personal liabilities. Judgment creditors of LLC members have at their disposal a unique remedy to collect distributions and more from the judgment debtor's membership or partnership interests; that remedy is the charging order.
