Writing from the practice.
Article

Personal exposure for directors does not begin at insolvency. It begins earlier, at the point where the board's decisions stop being commercial judgment and start being deferral.
Article

A cap, a carve-out and an indemnity are usually drafted by different people at different times. Read together, they often say something nobody intended.
Note

An option pool is a capital structure decision, an employment decision and a tax decision at once. Most schemes are drafted as though it were only the first.
Article

Data-transfer compliance is increasingly a contracting problem before it is a technology problem. The paperwork is what a regulator reads first.
Note
