  • Prologis Is Building Tomorrow's Workforce
    12/10/2019 Prologis is Building Tomorrow’s Workforce | Nareit Home ► Industry News ► REIT Magazine ► November/December 2019 ► Prologis is Building Tomorrow’s Workforce Prologis is addressing its tenants’ urgent need for labor by developing workforce training initiatives. 11/7/2019 | By Sarah Borchersen-Keto REIT magazine: November/December 2019 Students at Florida’s Miami Springs Senior High School might appear to be playing video games, but the forklift truck they are maneuvering onscreen during class is giving them valuable skills that are urgently needed to support today’s growing logistics industry. Elsewhere in the classroom, built by logistics REIT Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) in collaboration with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, students prepare packages for shipping and complete logistics modules online. Lead teacher Nicolas Acosta, Jr. says the skills his students are learning will ensure they “hit the ground running” when the time comes to enter the workforce. “We’re making sure we have the talent to secure the future,” he adds. The Prologis Trade and Logistics Lab, as the space is formally known, officially opened in May. It expands upon an existing logistics training program at the school and is a key part of Prologis’ Community Workforce Initiative (CWI). Launched in 2018, the initiative is seen as an extension of the company’s commitment to deliver superior customer service by strengthening local communities. Prologis collaborates with local workforce programs to provide mentorship, skills training, internships, and job placement services for people interested in pursuing careers in logistics, distribution, and transportation. Prologis Chairman and CEO Hamid Moghadam says the idea for CWI came from the REIT’s customers.

  • Agency Costs in Law-Firm Selection: Are Companies Under-Spending on Counsel?
    Draft of June 30, 2016 AGENCY COSTS IN LAW-FIRM SELECTION: ARE COMPANIES UNDER-SPENDING ON COUNSEL? Elisabeth de Fontenay* __ CAP. MKTS. L. J. __ (forthcoming) ABSTRACT A growing body of literature examines whether corporate clients derive sufficient value from the law firms that they engage. Yet little attention has been paid to whether clients optimally select among law firms in the first place. One entry-point is to identify discrepancies in the quality of counsel selected by different corporate clients for the very same work. Using a large sample of loans, this Article finds that major U.S. public companies select lower-ranked law firms for their financing transactions than do private equity-owned companies, controlling for various deal characteristics. While some of this discrepancy can be attributed to value-maximizing behavior, agency and other information problems within public companies may distort their choice of counsel. Contrary to the thrust of existing commentary, U.S. public companies may well be spending too little on outside counsel.
