Last of LeClairRyan’s Partners Battle Opaque Tax Threat
Ethics & Professional Responsibility Litigation Partner Ronald C. Minkoff is quoted in the article, “Last of LeClairRyan's Partners Battle Opaque Tax Threat” published by Law360. The article discusses LeClairRyan’s failed conversion strategy deal with UnitedLex and the outstanding tax liability of the last standing shareholders. Ron called the tax scuffle an unusual but striking illustration of the problems waiting for the last shareholders of a bankrupt law firm. He is quoted saying, “The logistical mess of being the last ones at a firm when it's shutting down, it's extraordinary. They're the ones who have to deal with the angry clients, figure out where all the files go, and they're going to be the first ones that the banks or creditors go after, just because they're still around" and "Let's just say, no one is going to show you any consideration for being there at the very end."

Law.com quoted Holly Melton was quoted in a Law.com in an article discussing the Federal Trade Commission's consideration of a petition to revive the "Click to Cancel" rule. Ms. Melton analyzed the FTC's potential next steps following the rule's invalidation by the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. She noted that when Amazon agreed to pay $2.5 billion in September to settle allegations of deceptive Prime subscription practices, the settlement document included language indicating that any future rulemaking on subscription cancellations would supersede the agreement's provisions. Mr. Melton emphasized that this language "reads like a deliberate placeholder—future-proofing the settlement for the reappearance of click to cancel," suggesting the commission anticipates reviving the rule in some form. She advised that businesses should maintain compliance with the rule's underlying principles, stating that "for advertisers and subscription-based businesses, the path forward is clear: provide transparent disclosures, obtain affirmative consent, and make cancellation as effortless as sign-up."
