Tax legislation at the end of 2017 overturned case law, and practitioners’ long-held view that gains on the sale of partnership interests by foreign partners were not subject to U.S. tax. Treasury has issued final regulations addressing the tax and withholding on partnership sales and distributions. These rules impact buyers, sellers and GPs in secondary transactions.

At our complimentary webinar, tax attorneys from Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP discuss:

  • New information and reporting rules impacting funds with foreign partners
  • When general partners may be liable for failure to withhold
  • How the exceptions to withholding have changed
  • The new no harm, no foul rule
  • How to calculate the amount of tax to be withheld

Among the most important decisions made by any business is the price at which it chooses to offer its products or services. This panel of antitrust experts will examine and provide counseling tips on the antitrust risks that can arise primarily when businesses are attempting to raise or maintain prices that their customers thinking are too high, including price-gouging. The other principal topics will include minimum resale pricing, minimum advertised pricing, and when do high prices and low prices cross the line into high-risk antirust behavior.

This month’s session will be focused on:

  • Legal, factual and technical considerations in responding to a regulatory request to sample for PFAS

2020 has changed how we work, and this program will explore the newest legal developments affecting California employers of all sizes. The 2020 workplace has seen stay at home orders; work from home; furloughs and layoffs; essential workers; social distancing and workplace safety measures; contact tracing and reporting; and quarantining employees with and without pay. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has spawned many of these developments, while other new laws are unrelated to COVID-19 and add to the compliance obligations for all California employers. These developments set the stage for a likely rise in government scrutiny of workplace practices and employment-related lawsuits. Please join Troutman Pepper’s California Labor & Employment Team as we revisit employment developments from 2020 and report on upcoming changes for 2021, including:

  • Worker Classification and Wage and Hour Updates
  • Expanded Leaves of Absence, Paid and Unpaid
  • COVID-19 Workplace Safety Guidance and Compliance
  • Workers’ Compensation Presumptions and Reporting Requirements
  • Diversity Initiatives

Thursday, November 5 • 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET

This panel of antitrust experts will discuss some of the most pressing antitrust developments or potential trends in the United States and Europe. For example, the discussion will include an examination of the trend of increased individual state antitrust enforcement in the United States and whether and how it might continue in the future. Also, US and EU enforcers still tend to rely only on an analysis of the effects on competition and the consumer welfare standard, but should or how might counselors take into consideration the ever increasing pressure to consider broader public interest factors, such as effects on labor, privacy and sustainability. The 2020 U.S. Vertical Merger Guidelines cover not only vertical transactions, but also extend to complementary products and diagonal transactions. The panel will discuss whether and how companies should take into account these concepts in their M&A strategies, how the EU approach these concepts, and other merger trends that might be on the horizon, regardless of the administration.
