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 Corporations Law Lecture 2023: The responsibility of shareholders
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Corporations Law Lecture 2023: The responsibility of shareholders\nIn-person event\n  \nIn 1911\, Justice Louis Brandeis argued that: \n‘…there is no such thing as an innocent purchaser of stocks. It is entirely contrary…to what ought to be our whole attitude towards investments\, that the person who has a chance for profit by going into an enterprise … should have the chance of gain without any responsibility’. \nThis lecture asks whether\, over a century later\, it is now time to revisit that proposition. The lecture will consider whether shareholders should bear responsibility for the actions of the companies in which they hold shares. If so\, is that just a moral responsibility\, or can it also have a legal dimension? And\, if legal\, should the law simply facilitate greater shareholder responsibility\, or should it be mandated? \nAbout the speaker\nEmeritus Professor Stephen Bottomley (ANU College of Law) \nEmeritus Professor of Commercial Law\, Stephen Bottomley is an expert in corporate law with particular emphasis on corporate governance. His main areas of research interest are corporate governance\, and law and regulation.

Amongst his publications\, Stephen is the co-author of Contemporary Australian Corporate Law (2018\, Cambridge University Press)\, Law in Context (2011\, 4th edn\, Federation Press)\, and Directing the Top 500 – Corporate Governance and Accountability in Australian Companies (1993\, Allen and Unwin). Stephen’s article “The Notional Legislator: The Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s Role as a Law-Maker” (2011) 39 Federal Law Review 1\, was awarded the 2011 Zines Prize for Excellence in Legal Research. \nIn 2021 Stephen was awarded the inaugural Lifetime Achievement Legal Research Medal in the 2020 Australian Legal Research Awards. \nStephen was Dean of the ANU College of Law from 2013 to 2017\, prior to which he held positions as Head of School and Deputy Dean in the College. \nStephen is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law and a former President of the Corporate Law Teachers Association (now the Society of Corporate Law Academics). \nCommentator: Rebecca Lim (Strategic Consultant\, Gilbert + Tobin and Practitioner-in-Residence\, Sydney Law School) \nRebecca is a strategic consultant at G&T in Sydney particularly in the areas of financial services\, digital\, ESG and Board advisory services.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Law Reform & The PPSA: Why We Should Delete s 267 and Corporations Act s 588FL
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Law Reform & The PPSA: Why We Should Delete s 267 and Corporations Act s 588FL\nOnline event \nThe Government’s response to the Statutory Review of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (‘PPSA’) has been released\, including an Exposure Draft containing its proposed amendments. We are currently within an eight-week consultation period closing on 17 November 2023\, which makes this an opportune time to discuss reforms to improve the operation of the PPSA. \nThis seminar concerns s 267 of the PPSA and s 588FL of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)\, which are termed the ‘vesting provisions’. The former provides that an unperfected security interest ‘vests in the grantor’ upon the occurrence of specified events indicating the grantor’s insolvency. The latter provides that\, where a security interest is perfected only by registration and the grantor is a company\, that security interest ‘vests in the company’ upon the occurrence of specified events indicating the company’s insolvency if the registration time is outside one of several time periods. Much of the debate concerning these provisions thus-far has focused on s 588FL due to its more stringent timing requirements\, and there seemed to be consensus that this provision is unnecessary and should be deleted. Surprisingly however\, the Government proposed retaining it in its recent response to the Statutory Review of the PPSA. \nIn this seminar I will take a step back from the debate specifically concerning s 588FL\, and consider the broader question of what the vesting provisions seek to achieve in the first place. First\, I will identify their commercial significance by considering when they lead to different outcomes than those which would occur anyway under other provisions of the PPSA. Secondly\, I will identify the purported policy objectives underlying the vesting provisions\, and argue that none of these sufficiently explain their operation. Thirdly\, I will identify the costs of retaining these provisions\, and argue that these cannot be satisfactorily addressed through more discrete amendments to their scope. This leads me to conclude that\, while it may at first appear to be a radical solution\, we should delete both s 267 and s 588FL. \nAbout the speakers \nAdam Waldman \nAdam Waldman is the Colin Phegan Associate Lecturer at the University of Sydney Law School. His field of research is commercial law\, with a particular focus on the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (‘PPSA’) and\, more generally\, on the relationship between statute and the general law. Adam is also a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney Law School\, and his ongoing doctoral research examines the interaction between equity and the PPSA through the lens of the notion of unconscionability. \nAdam teaches in Equity\, Introduction to Property and Commercial Law\, Torts and Contracts II\, and Legal Reasoning. He is also a lecturer for the Legal Profession Admission Board’s Diploma in Law\, where he lectures on personal property in Commercial Transactions. \nAdam has previously worked at a boutique law firm\, as a research assistant to counsel in chambers and as a research assistant to a former Supreme Court judge. He has also worked as a researcher at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales\, in the areas of insolvency\, corporations law\, and banking and financial law. \nCommentator: Tony Ryan (Consultant\, Ashurst) \nTony Ryan is a consultant in the restructuring\, insolvency and special situations practice of Ashurst’s Sydney Office. Tony advises on all aspects of corporate insolvency and restructuring law\, including voluntary administration\, deeds of company arrangement\, schemes of arrangement\, receivership and liquidations and has been involved in a number of significant cross-border matters including acting as lead partner on the liquidation of MF Global\, a major global financial services and derivatives broker group and one of the largest and most complicated bankruptcies in corporate history\, and the liquidation of HIH Insurance Limited\, a major insurance company with assets worldwide and the largest corporate insolvency in Australia.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Navigating the Consumer Data Right: A Business Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Navigating the Consumer Data Right: A Business Perspective\nOnline event \nThe introduction of the Consumer Data Right (‘CDR’) in Australia in 2019 heralds a new era in data governance\, with profound implications for businesses across various sectors. This world-leading initiative holds the potential to inject much-needed competition into key sectors of the economy and reinvigorate a waning commercial morality. However\, like most transformative innovations\, it is not without its challenges. One pressing concern is the need to safeguard consumer data rigorously\, without imposing regulatory burdens that might discourage new market entrants. The impact of CDR on businesses is multi-faceted\, depending on whether a business assumes the role of ‘a consumer’\, ‘a data holder’\, or ‘a data recipient’ (accredited or not). This webinar explores the complex landscape of the CDR from a business perspective\, shedding light on the challenges and opportunities that arise for entities engaged in this transformative journey. \nSpeakers\n\nPresenter: Dr Natalia Jevglevskaja\, Research Fellow\, UNSW Sydney\nCommentator: Alysia Abeyratne\, Senior Manager\, Digital Policy\, DD&A | National Australia Bank Limited\nChair: Dr Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law\, Sydney Law School\n\nAbout the presenter \nNatalia is a Research Fellow at the Faculty of Law and Justice of the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney\, Australia) and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy\, UK. As a member of the Australian Research Council Laureate Project ‘The Financial Data Revolution: Seizing the Benefits\, Controlling the Risks’\, she looks at how data and technology are transforming financial services in Australia and abroad and what measures may be required in the area of data and technology governance to facilitate innovation in finance. Natalia’s research on the Consumer Data Right (‘CDR’) can be accessed here. The most recent analysis of the CDR and its potential impact on similar regimes evolving worldwide may soon be found in a monograph with Routledge (Anton Didenko\, Natalia Jevglevskaja and Ross Buckley\, Customer Data Sharing Frameworks: Twelve Lessons for the World (2024\, forthcoming)). \n——————————— \nTuesday 28 November\nTime: 6-7pm \nVenue: Online webinar \nCPD Points: 1 \n——————————— \nThis event is proudly presented by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insider Trading\, Fiduciary Relationships\, and Market Integrity:  A Comparative Consideration of Insider Laws of United States and Australia
DESCRIPTION:Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insider Trading\, Fiduciary Relationships\, and Market Integrity: A Comparative Consideration of Insider Laws of United States and Australia\nIn-person event \nThere are a variety of distinctions that exist between the Australian and US laws prohibiting insider trading. While insider trading is prohibited in Australia under an express statutory prohibition\, a broad anti-fraud provision in the US has been interpreted by courts to prohibit insider trading. Australian insider trading laws are based on the concept of an “information connection” rather than a “person connection”\, so that any person who possesses information that they know or ought reasonably to know is inside information is prohibited from trading or procuring trading in relevant financial products\, or from communicating or “tipping” that information to another person likely to do so\, in order to protect market integrity. \nHowever\, in the US\, such conduct is only illegal if it constitutes securities fraud\, meaning essentially that the trader or tipper has breached a fiduciary duty of disclosure owed either to the source of the information or to the shareholders of the securities issuer. The differing treatment of “tippers” and “tippees” in these two jurisdictions are discussed\, the varying factors that are emphasised when determining the severity of the conduct of engaging in trading or tipping are considered. The comparative relevance of the existence of a fiduciary or other close relationship both for liability to arise and as a possible aggravating factor in sentencing convicted insider traders is also addressed. \n  \nSpeakers\nProfessor Donna M. Nagy\, Indiana University Maurer School of Law—Bloomington  \nProfessor Donna M. Nagy (BA Vassar College\, JD NYU School of Law) is Executive Associate Dean and C Ben Dutton Professor of Business Law at Indiana University Maurer School of Law.  She teaches and writes in the areas of securities litigation\, securities regulation\, and corporations. She has written extensively on the selective disclosure of government information; government officials and financial conflicts of interest; and insider trading and fiduciary principles. Prior to commencing her academic career\, Donna was an associate at the law firm of Debevoise & Plimpton in Washington\, D.C.\, specialising in securities enforcement and litigation. \nAssociate Professor Juliette Overland\, University of Sydney Business School \nAssociate Professor Juliette Overland (LLB (Hons I) (QUT)\, PhD (ANU)) of the University of Sydney Business School\, researches and teaches in the area of corporate law\, particularly the regulation of securities markets\, insider trading\, and corporate crime. Juliette’s research examines issues concerning corporate liability for insider trading\, the effectiveness of insider trading regulation\, and the relationship between corporate governance and insider trading. In addition to her experience as an academic\, Juliette has extensive practical experience as a corporate lawyer\, having worked in leading Australian law firms and as the Australian legal counsel for a global technology company. \nChair: Professor Jason Harris\, Professor of Corporate Law and Director of the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School \n>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 8 February 2024\nTime: 6-7pm \nVenue: The University of Sydney\, Level 1\, Law Lounge\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown \nCPD Points: 1 \nThis event is being held in-person at Sydney Law School. \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThis event is proudly presented by the Ross Parsons Centre at Sydney Law School. \n
