    THE ANGLO-AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN TORT CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES: PARADIGM SHIFT OR PANDORA’S BOX? Alan Reed* I. INTRODUCTION Gallons of ink spill across the law review pages as the conflicts revolution engages a counter-revolution in a rhubarb as esoteric and perplexing as anything American law has ever known.1 The landscape of American conflicts law has undergone a fundamental reorientation.2 The altered canvas is most vivid in the choice of law arena, particularly in relation to governing principles in tort.3 After decades of experimentation, we are left with dominant greys and innumerable shades: a bewildering chiaroscuro effect that confuses academicians, practitioners and 4 judges. The prevailing American methodology has recently infected the scepter’d isle. The result is the recognition that the legal system should put certain constructs to rest because their utility is long-gone and their specters confound our thinking. Accordingly, recent and radical changes in the English tort choice of law rules now supplement century-old laws. These alterations in * Alan Reed graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge University in 1988 with a first class honours degree in law (B.A 1988 and M.A. 1991), and was awarded the Herbert Smith prize for private international law attaining the highest examination grade in that subject. Cambridge University also granted him a full Holland Scholarship to facilitate study in the U.S. and he obtained an LL.M. Masters of Law (comparative law) at the University of Virginia in 1990. On his return to England, he spent two years in practice with Theodore Goddard in London, whilst additionally teaching law at Trinity College, Cambridge.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76255-7 - Corporate Lawyers and Corporate Governance Joan Loughrey Frontmatter More information CORPORATE LAWYERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE This assessment of the corporate governance role of corporate lawyers in the United Kingdom analyses the extent to which lawyers can and should act as gatekeepers, counsellors and reputational intermediaries. Focusing on external and in-house lawyers’ roles in both dispersed share-ownership and owner-managed companies, Joan Loughrey highlights the conflicts of interest that are endemic in corporate representation and examines how lawyers should respond when corporate agents provide instructions con- trary to the company client’s interests. She also considers the legitimacy of ‘creative compliance’,the ethical arguments for and against lawyers pri- oritising the public interest over their clients’ interests, and their exposure to liability if they fail to perform a corporate governance role. Finally, she considers whether the reforms to the legal profession will promote the lawyer’s corporate governance role and advances suggestions for reform. joan loughrey is currently the Director of the Centre for Business Law and Practice at the School of Law, University of Leeds, where her research interests include corporate law, corporate governance, and ethics and the legal profession. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76255-7 - Corporate Lawyers and Corporate Governance Joan Loughrey Frontmatter More information international corporate law and financial market regulation Recent years have seen an upsurge of change and reform in corporate law and financial market regulation internationally as the corporate and institutional investor sector increasingly turns to the international financial markets.

TRANSNATIONAL LAW PRACTICE Richard L. Abelt T RANSNATIONAL law practice has grown dramatically in recent years, but scholarship has not kept pace. This Article fills the void in three different, yet related, ways. The first section seeks to explain the patterns of transnational law practice that have emerged in recent decades. The second describes the constraints on transnational practice, especially those imposed by national and supranational regulation. I conclude with proposals about how lawyers, professional organizations, and governments should regulate transnational law practice. Since there is no comprehensive account of the growth of transnational law practice, I have appended one, drawn from a wide variety of sources, including Martindale-Hubbell, the International Financial Law Review, and Business Lawyer,' as well as a dozen interviews with lawyers in t Professor, U.C.L.A.

  • Jomati Lawyer Article
    Legal Week 23rd September 2004 Dial M for merger Stagnating turnover in a mature market is forcing many UK firms to revisit the merger option, despite the considerable hurdles, says Tony Williams The last few years have seen precious little domestic merger activity among mid-sized UK firms. The most recent exception was the merger between Addleshaw Booth & Co and Theodore Goddard to create Addleshaw Goddard. But even in that case Theodore Goddard had been in play for a few years and had come close to merger on at least one previous occasion. There has been more activity between US and UK-based firms, but they still only account for about one transaction a year — the last two being Mayer Brown and Rowe & Maw and Jones Day and Gouldens. However, albeit from a low base, there are the initial signs of increased activity. Two US/UK deals are currently in the public domain. Kirkpatrick & Lockhart is likely to merge with Nicholson Graham & Jones and DLA is in the final stages of its negotiations with Piper Rudnick. In addition, national firm Pinsents is looking to expand its London capability by a merger with Masons, which will create a top 15 UK firm. Other discussions are continuing at various levels of intensity and many are more than just a twinkle in the managing partner’s eye. Within the US there has been far more merger activity, particularly among the smaller firms, as lawyers have started to provide a credible capability in many of the larger US business and financial centres. Indeed, the second stage of consolidation appears to be occurring, with a number of mid-sized US firms contemplating merger.

  • Unexplained Wealth – Whose Business? the 36Thcambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - Whose Business?
    THIRTY-SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ECONOMIC CRIME SUNDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER - SUNDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2018 JESUS COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Unexplained wealth – whose business? The 36thCambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime Unexplained Wealth - whose business? The Thirty-Sixth International Symposium on Economic Crime is the most extensive and ambitious programme that we have so far attempted to put together. The overarching theme is how we can better identify and render accountable unexplained and suspicious wealth. As we increasingly realise that the way in which most of us approach suspect wealth and money laundering lacks efficiency and imposes arguably disproportionate burdens and risks on the financial and business system, it appears a partial answer might be in focusing on the identification of unexplained wealth, but then what do we do? These important and timely issues are pursued in a practical, applied and relevant manner, by those with the benefit of experience from across the world. The symposium, although held in one of the world’s leading universities and recognising the significance of intelligent deliberation, is not a talking shop for those with vested interests – official or commercial. We strive to offer a rich and deep analysis of the real issues and, in particular, threats to our institutions and economies presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. Therefore, well over 600 experts from around the world will share their experience and knowledge with other participants drawn from policy makers, law enforcement, compliance, regulation, business and the professions. The programme is drawn up with the support of a number of agencies and organisations, and the Organising Institutions and principal sponsors greatly value this global commitment.

  • Big Names Move Into Records Management
    THE LEADER IN LEGAL TECHNOLOGY NEWS Issue 146 Big names move into records management Hummingbird has acquired LegalKEY Technologies, a New York-based software company best known for its electronic records management and conflicts of interest checking systems. With effective records management, including corporate document retention policies, now high on the agenda for law firms in the wake of Enron and similar scandals, there has been a suggestion that in an ideal world, the best possible approach is a combination of a conventional document management system linked to a records management system that, like LegalKEY, could handle both paper and electronic files. Hummingbird will now be able to deliver this integrated solution from one source. LegalKEY will function as a subsidiary of Hummingbird and continue to serve its existing clientele - UK users include Clifford Finers to roll out DDS Chance, Norton Rose and Mayer Brown Rowe & Maw.
