This vastly oversimplifies the notion of what is "good" or "fair" in a given situation. Just because we can generally agree on classifying simple objects like a boat or a house doesn't entail that we share a universal…
Agreed 100%. Essentially no employees (and nearly no founders outside of your unicorns) have anti-dilution protections against future investment.
Sort of the opposite. The point I'm making (and the author misses) is that a business decision to make huge profits by representing a "bad guy" in society's eyes isn't remotely equivalent to a moral decision that even…
Agreed with ss108. Sure, there are a few law schools (among other higher education institutions) that have overreacted to "wokeness." But that plus a few anonymous accounts from (mostly junior) practicing attorneys…
I don't at all disagree that Weinstein has as much of a right to effective legal counsel as the rest of us. I'm just pointing out the obvious: there's an enormous difference between (i) an indigent defendant's right to…
Same here (M&A/VC lawyer for nearly a decade). Agree 100% on all of the above. I became skeptical right off the bat when she compared Boies' civil representation of Weinstein (at ostensibly $2,000+ per hour) to the…

Delaware (and all or at least most other states) requires at least one member on the board of directors for any corporation, whether it's private or public.
At a $0 valuation (assuming that's accurate) you'd be paying almost nothing to participate in the round (assuming you had a contractual right or were given the opportunity to participate).
It's much more sophisticated than just (a) do you or did you work there and (b) did you make money on a trade. I work at a law firm that does public M&A deals and we occasionally get inquiries from the SEC about, e.g.,…

My uncle sometimes puts his shoes on the wrong feet and once managed to put his jeans on backwards (buttoned but not zipped behind him). As he walked past the doorway my mom (his sister) said, "Your pants are on…
That's tragic--but let's keep it in context. It happened before WWII. Some of these young boys were wearing shorts and sandals (without hats) in a blizzard, climbing up a mountain slope with a 70% gradient (black…

Good point. I worked one summer at a five-star hotel in a ski town in the rockies. At various times and for various clients (typically on short notice) we (1) hosted a banquet for a former U.S. president that involved…
That's essentially Rayiner's point--focusing on large payouts is not an effective response to this concern. In states with a cap on the maximum medmal claim, the cap often "saves" the defendant money in situations where…
None of those are donations, nor are they anywhere near being tax deductible. Again, you're focused on a totally different issue. There's nothing wrong with splitting costs or reimbursing a friend who bought you…
True, judges often don't come right out and say it in so many words, but many, many courtroom decisions involve an underlying assessment of the "fairness" of the situation presented. The concept of fairness is a…
Your point is a good one, but to me it confirms the comment you are responding to. > The idea that med school or law school teach you "all the knowledge required to become a lawyer or a doctor" is laughable and a truly…
Why do you not consider paper to be an asset? Pretty much anything that can be bought and sold is an asset. Yes, that includes notebooks and paper.

Nearly all insiders (i.e. management, investors, employees, etc.) will be subject to a "lock-up" on an IPO that prevents them from selling immediately. Typically the lock-up lasts for 180 days, but this can vary. Share…
