The session will share models, ideas, solutions and case studies of examples of businesses who have, through technology, process and discipline, not only wrestled control of the external spend but used the data produced to make a material difference to the reduction of that spend.

A LexisNexis survey of legal departments found a renewed sense of optimism among U.S.-based corporate legal departments. More than 70% of survey respondents, which were mostly comprised of corporate attorneys, said this year has been better as compared to the previous year. The survey also found that corporate legal departments are planning to bring more work in-house, that compliance and operational efficiency are the top challenges, and expect legal budgets and staffing to remain flat.
Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation - Private Equity Platform CompaniesEpstein Becker Green
Epstein Becker Green Webinar - "Proactive Compliance Initiatives for Private Equity Platform Companies" - with Attorneys Christopher A. McMican, Kevin J. Ryan, and Peter A. Steinmeyer - October 30, 2018.
Failure to comply with the host of state and federal rules and regulations that govern employee benefit plans and executive compensation arrangements can result in severe penalties and reduce investment value. Planning not only for a purchase transaction but also for integration and future operations is critical for an organization’s human capital success. Certain key issues must be analyzed regardless of whether stock or assets are purchased. The platform will need to consider Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) Section 401(k) and 403(b) plans, health plans, and bonus and other executive compensation arrangements (with potential Code Section 409A deferral restrictions), including any desired or necessary changes for streamlining, merging, terminating, or implementing new plans or perquisites. Consideration must be given to employment agreements and the various related continuity issues, including assigning contracts, non-compete provisions, and confidentiality clauses. Platforms operating in the health care space must also consider issues resulting from union activity (e.g., multiemployer health and pension arrangements, financial commitments, and withdrawal liability), excessive rates of employee turnover, strategical and hybrid formulas in retirement plans, and affiliated service group implications. State regulations that restrict ownership of certain health care professional corporations require resource allocation between medical service entities and management or staffing organizations, and, as a result, an understanding of the viable alternatives for structuring stock options and other equity components of the pay package for the key individuals is necessary.
The fifth webinar in this series will address various employee benefits and executive compensation issues that must be addressed by platform companies in their compliance efforts as they structure the transaction and move forward with operations. In addition to the challenges that normal buyers face in capital markets, this installment of the webinar series will explore the unique issues that platform companies will encounter in the health care sector. Navigating and planning for these issues will reduce financial risk and allow the platform to increase the attractiveness of its investment for continuing operations as well as for a potential exit strategy.

We live in a connected world where, thanks to our smartphones, laptops, tablets and other devices, we are never offline. The billions of devices, sensors and actuators, connected to the internet, are generating exponentially more data than before. Not only will we be able to forecast when these devices might need maintenance, we may also be able to predict when we need support. A use-case might be related to earlier detection of diseases/disorders based on insights from our wearable device. However, just like everything else, this isn’t an easy task. Sensors break, actuators get swapped and the ecosystem changes in all sorts of ways. Thus, timely upgrade recommendations for these connected devices would enable customers maintain their seamless interaction with these IoT devices. A traditional supervised learning approach doesn’t work well for such IoT data. Moreover, standard classification and regression models are not that capable of handling the relationship between sensor changes and actuator commands. One solution is to go for an adaptive feedback-driven state-action based reinforcement learning techniques, which might help in finding reward or penalty and the cost incurred to the customer. This can ultimately lead to an intrinsically smart and connected ecosystem.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.
