A New Approach to Causation? The UK’s Supreme Court Hands Down Judgment in the Business Interruption Insurance Test Case
February 18, 2021  |  Publication
The UK Supreme Court recently handed down its hotly-anticipated judgment in the business interruption insurance test case (FCA v Arch and others [2021] UKSC 1). The judgment extends, in certain respects, findings in favour of certain policyholders of business interruption insurance made by the High Court. In this client alert, Jumana Rahman, Thomas Shortland, and Charlotte Ritchie focus on the implications of the Supreme Court judgment for causation issues in insurance law and the wider law and address the consequences of the judgment for various key stakeholders.

January 26, 2021  |  Publication
Daniel H Tabak and Drew S Dean discuss the opinion of Magistrate Judge Gorenstein of the Southern District of New York in Revive Investing LLC v. FBC Holdings S.A.R.L. After finding that a prior settlement agreement between the defendant and different plaintiffs was valid and contained a release that precluded the claim at issue, Judge Gorenstein recommended the grant of summary judgment to the defendant in a Section 16(b) “short-swing profit” action. Dan and Drew go on to explore the future implications of Judge Gorenstein’s opinion and explain what this will mean for Section 16(b) litigants going forward.

Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 Significantly Expands Reach of Subpoenas of Non-U.S. Banks That Have U.S. Correspondent Accounts
January 21, 2021  |  Publication
Non-U.S. banks that maintain correspondent accounts in the United States face the prospect of significantly broader subpoenas from the Department of Justice and the Department of Treasury as a result of the newly passed Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (“AMLA”), which became law on January 1, 2021 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021. These new subpoenas represent a major expansion of the DOJ and Treasury’s investigative reach, but they are not without limitations.  This client alert examines the expanded subpoena authority under the AMLA, as well as potential ways in which non-U.S. banks can seek to limit or quash these subpoenas.

Brexit and Financial Services
January 20, 2021  |  Publication
Although a detailed Brexit agreement has been reached between the UK and the EU on trade in goods and certain services, further work remains on the treatment of financial services.  The EU must determine which UK financial rules and their applications will be deemed “equivalent” to EU rules, and therefore to what extent UK-based financial services firms will be able to operate in Europe.

September 24, 2020  |  Publication
