SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Social enterprise law: A multijurisdictional comparative review
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Social enterprise law: A multijurisdictional comparative review\nIn-person event \nThis 24-nation review of social enterprise law analyzes data developed by a team of academics and practitioners with deep expertise regarding jurisdictions on six continents. Each responded to the authors’ detailed questionnaire inquiring into the relevant jurisdiction’s legal treatment of entities using business methods to achieve social good. After first identifying the key role of political\, cultural and legal baselines in determining the space for and legal treatment of social enterprises\, the paper explores the myriad specialized forms and certifications that have been developed to identify firms around the world as social enterprises. \nLegal forms are offered exclusively by governments and relevant to a single jurisdiction\, while certifications may or may not be public or jurisdiction-specific. Comparing these tools offers guidance to policymakers keen to continue evolving specialized social enterprise forms and certifications across jurisdictions. It also reveals how these identifiers for social enterprise are being used to incentivize the pursuit of social good using business methods. The assurances of trustworthiness provided by distribution constraints and regulatory oversight appear critical to support public subsidization or privileging of social enterprise. Without these protections in place\, public incentives for social enterprise are largely absent \nAbout the speaker \nDana Brakman Reiser holds a chair as Centennial Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School\, where she also served as Vice Dean. She teaches courses in Corporations\, Nonprofit Law\, Social Enterprise\, Property\, and Trusts and Estates. A globally recognized expert in the law at the intersection of business and charity\, her work on the law of social enterprises – firms that pursue profits for owners and social good – defined the field. She has also written extensively on law and finance for philanthropic organizations and on sustainable investing. \nShe is a member of the American Law Institute and was an Associate Reporter for its project on the Principles of the Law of Nonprofit Organizations\, as well as a past-Chair of the Section on Nonprofit and Philanthropy Law of the American Association of Law Schools and a former member of the executive board of its Section on Business Law. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard Law School. \n——————————— \nMonday 31 July\, 2023\nTime: 1-2pm \nVenue: The University of Sydney Law School\, Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown \nCPD points: 1 \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly presented by the Ross Parsons Centre at the University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: SPACs\, Direct Listings\, and SEC Reform
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: SPACs\, Direct Listings\, and SEC Reform\nPresenter: Professor Andrew Tuch\, Washington University in St Louis \nDespite recent market volatility\, mergers of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and direct listings remain viable alternatives to IPOs in the United States. SPACs continue to outnumber traditional IPOs. Direct listings have allowed companies\, including Slack\, Palantir\, and Coinbase\, to go public. \nHowever\, SPAC mergers and direct listings sidestep basic investor protections that apply in the traditional IPO process\, including underwriter liability. Increased reliance on these IPO-alternatives is part of a increasing trend in the US of companies accessing capital without subjecting themselves to the rigors of public market regulation. In response\, the SEC released highly anticipated reforms proposing wide-ranging changes. \nThis presentation will consider these IPO-alternatives\, market trends\, and recently proposed SEC reforms. \nAbout the presenter:\nAndrew Tuch is a professor of law at Washington University in St Louis. He has published widely in the US\, the UK\, and Australia\, and his scholarship has been cited by Australian and US courts\, including numerous times by the Delaware Court of Chancery. He has served on the National Adjudicatory Council for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)\, the primary regulator for U.S. brokers and dealers. Before entering academia\, he practiced corporate law in New York and London. He holds LLM and SJD degrees from Harvard Law School\, where he was a Fulbright Scholar. He is Australian. \nChair: Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law\, Sydney Law School \nCommentator: Daniel Scotti\, Partner\, MinterEllison\, Sydney \n  \nWebinar via Zoom\, Tuesday 26 July 2022\, 8am AEST \nOnce you register\, your confirmation will provide the Zoom details. \n  \nThis seminar is sponsored by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: Common mistakes in using national uniform legislation
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law & Business seminar: Common mistakes in using national uniform legislation\nNational uniform legislation underpins major areas of regulation in commercial and corporate law. Here are few examples in these major areas: regulation of corporations\, cooperatives\, consumer protection\, commercial arbitration\, electronic conveyancing\, defamation and business names. \nToday’s legal profession is “born to the age of statutes”. What are the main pitfalls in reading and interpreting national uniform legislation? Uniform legislation is not a panacea for all legal challenges but the growth in this area warrants close academic attention to take a step towards demystifying some of confusing factors that are obscuring the underlying general principles. \nThis practical presentation summarises the main findings of analysis of close to 100 sets of uniform Acts across a number of areas of law\, so it can be applied by legal practitioners and academics working with harmonised legislation. \n  \nSpeaker: Dr Guzyal Hill\, senior lecturer\, Charles Darwin University\nChair: Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law\, Sydney Law School\n  \n\nWebinar via Zoom\, Thursday 25 November 2021\, 6pm AEDT \nOnce you register\, your confirmation will provide the Zoom details. \n  \nThis seminar is sponsored by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School. \n  \nImage: Canva
