This printout and/or PDF is for personal usage only and not for any promotional usage. © Crain Communications Inc. August 16, 2020 04:00 AM Benesch, Tucker Ellis could soon be the largest law firms in Cleveland JEREMY NOBILE David Kordalski The North Point Office Building and Tower on Lakeside Ave. in downtown is the home of national powerhouse law firm Jones Day. The firm has been growing outside of Cleveland even as its presence in Northeast Ohio shrinks. Jones Day and BakerHostetler are still the biggest firms in Northeast Ohio, but their declining in-market attorney levels have narrowed the gap with the growing regional firms. Global BigLaw firm Jones Day has grown into a dominating presence in the Cleveland legal market since its founding nearly 130 years ago, yet it's ceding ground to smaller regionals growing bigger in the local market while it shrinks. To be fair, owning the title of the largest firm in any given market — especially those outside marquee regions like New York and Washington, D.C. — is not incredibly important to most firms. In a tech-enabled and interconnected business world, the location in which an attorney is based is less relevant than it was decades ago. And most firms don't hire people exclusively for the sake of growth. Even if no one is overtly aspiring to be the largest firm in Cleveland, the patterns in firms growing or shrinking indicate there may soon be a new largest firm in town, which speaks to the evolving business of law.

    Russia–us ECONOMIC COOPERATION IN TURBULENT TIMES Moscow, March 2019. Russia–US Economic Cooperation in Turbulent Times Moscow, March 2019. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY ALEXANDER SHOKHIN, PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN UNION OF INDUSTRIALISTS AND ENTREPRENEURS and ChaiRman of the BoaRd of tRustees of the Russian-ameRiCan BUSINESS COUNCIL (RABC) Dear friends, U.S.–Russia relations have been very tense in recent years, and this directly affects cooperation in trade, economy and investment. During these difficult times, we believe it a task of utmost importance to find a stable foundation to maintain and develop relations in the future. In order to assess the current status quo and to look for solutions that will put U.S.–Russia relations on an upward trajectory, the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) and the Russian-American Business Council (RABC) have spearheaded a dialog on lost profits and on opportunities that still remain open for our countries’ businesses. The RSPP and the RABC commissioned a report “Russia-US Economic Cooperation in the Conditions of Uncertainty” prepared by experts from the National Research University Higher School of Economics, the Valdai International Discussion Club and Russia’s leading research centres; this report is intended to serve as grounds for the discussion. On behalf of the RSPP and the RABC, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who made this report possible: the report’s contributors: Sergei Karaganov, Dean of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at the National

  • 2020 FCPA Year in Review
    WHITE PAPER January 2021 FCPA 2020 Year in Review In 2020, the biggest Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) headline was the record-shatter- ing global anticorruption enforcement fines and penalties collected by foreign regulators in actions involving a coordinated FCPA resolution. In the United States, the DOJ and the SEC also collected record fines and penalties, but those numbers were eclipsed by the global figures. While the COVID-19 pandemic did not appear to slow the ability to resolve cases that were near resolution, it did impact ongoing corporate and individual investigations due to the complications of conducting witness interviews and collecting certain types of information remotely, including limited access to courts and grand juries for large parts of the year. On the horizon, we expect continued focus on FCPA enforcement and international coordi- nation under the Biden Administration. In our 2016 Year in Review, we predicted that FCPA enforcement under the Trump Administration would not likely slow down or change dramati- cally due to the significant resources already dedicated to FCPA enforcement and the large backlog of FCPA investigations. Similarly, we expect FCPA enforcement to remain an enforce- ment priority in the next administration. The new administration will mean new leadership in key DOJ and SEC posts, but these changes will not likely impact enforcement activity. TABLE OF CONTENTS KEY HIGHLIGHTS .............................................................................1 1. FOREIGN ANTICORRUPTION REGULATORS AND PROSECUTORS MAKE THEIR MARK—INCREASE IN MULTIJURISDICTIONAL ENFORCEMENT .............................1 More Than $9 Billion in Global Penalties Collected in Cases Involving a Coordinated FCPA Resolution ...........................................................................1 Increased Global Anticorruption Coordination and Cooperation...............................2 The DOJ and the SEC Continue to Focus on Brazil...........................................3 2.

  • November 30, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Tiffany Liston, Esq., Interim Executive Director MFJ Board of Directors
    November 30, 2020 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Tiffany Liston, Esq., Interim Executive Director MFJ Board of Directors RE: MOBILIZATION FOR JUSTICE’S RELATIONSHIP WITH JONES DAY The staff union of Mobilization for Justice, Inc. (“MFJ”), part of the Legal Services Staff Association Local 2320 (“LSSA 2320”), write to express our vehement objection to MFJ management’s continued professional relationship with the law firm Jones Day. As detailed below, Jones Day plays a deeply troubling role in the Trump Administration and its ongoing attempts to thwart the results of the 2020 general election.1 MFJ’s relationship with Jones Day, ​ and Jones Day partner Jessica Kastin, is indefensible and undermines our mission to achieve “equal justice for all.” The MFJ staff union, having previously communicated our outrage to MFJ Interim Executive Director Tiffany Liston, now urges the MFJ Board to immediately and permanently cease use of any legal services provided by Jones Day. Jones Day is aiding and abetting the efforts of the Trump Administration to disenfranchise voters and disrupt the peaceful transition of power to the Biden Administration. Specifically, Jones Day represents the Republican Party of Pennsylvania in litigation attempting to discard absentee ballots cast and postmarked prior to Election Day in the midst of a pandemic.2 The move was so controversial that attorneys at the firm have come out publicly, ​ alleging that senior Jones Day attorneys oppose the election litigation because they “are worried that [Jones Day] is advancing arguments that lack evidence and may be helping Mr. Trump and his allies undermine the integrity of American elections.”3 Jones Day continues to prosecute the ​ frivolous election challenge, which remains pending before the Supreme Court of the United States.
