AB 626: What It Means for Public Works Projects and What Public Agencies Need...Meyers Nave
Assembly Bill 626 was signed into law on September 29, 2016 and affects contracts for public works projects entered into on or after January 1, 2017. The Bill creates new requirements for administering the claims process for public works projects in California. Public agencies can now be forced to mediate unresolved claims during construction, and general contractors can file pass through claims against a public agency on behalf of subcontractors. AB 626 also establishes a strict timeline associated with the claim resolution process. The Bill will have a significant impact on how public agencies resolve claims arising from construction projects.
The presenters discuss which public agencies are required to comply with AB 626, the timelines associated with the new claim resolution process, and what language must be included in agencies' project plans and specifications. An overview of AB 626 titled "New Law Requires New Claim Resolution Process for Public Works" is available at meyersnave.com.

Avoiding #BVI law and #Cayman Islands law pitfalls in banking & finance and corporate transactions
There are certain notorious pitfalls to avoid in the context of British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) and Cayman Islands banking & finance and corporate transactions. In this article, we examine five such pitfalls. While there are no “one size fits all” solutions to these issues, we set out some practical considerations, solutions and risk mitigation tools (as appropriate) with respect to them.
Having examined the backdating of documents and asset disposals by a BVI company in the previous parts of this FAQs series, in this part III we examine the disclosure of conflicts of interest by directors. Find out more about the position set out in the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “Act”) regarding the disclosure of a director’s interests in a transaction, the consequences of non-disclosure under the Act, whether the common law rules on conflicts of interest are still relevant, what the common law duties are and what risk mitigation strategies should be considered by a third party dealing with a BVI or Cayman Islands counterparty in a transaction.

Cryptocurrency enforcement framework - Report by the U.S. Department of JusticeLoeb Smith Attorneys
The US Department of Justice released a report regarding #cryptocurrency enforcement with strategies to take related to #digitalassets and interest in how enforcement will work in the #decentralizedfinance space.
The report could serve to shape the future vision of authorities and regulators towards #cryptocurrencies.
Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance supported by Invesco published the "3rd Global Cryptoasset Benchmarking Study " (attached). Excerpt on the key findings of the regulatory and compliance standards across the industry and geographies:
"Just over two out of five surveyed firms are licensed or in the process of obtaining a license; these firms are primarily located in Europe. However, the remaining 58% should not be perceived as the share of entities conducting unregulated activities or evading regulations: some surveyed service providers are engaged in activities that do not yet warrant any authorisation process (e.g. non-custodial functions) or are operating in jurisdiction(s) where no regulatory framework or guidance has been put forth.
Compliance with KYC/AML obligations is heterogeneous across regions. Nearly all customer accounts at European and North American service providers have been KYC’ed, whereas this is the case for only one out of two accounts at MEA-based service providers.
The share of cryptoasset-only companies that did not conduct any KYC checks at all dropped from 48% to 13% between 2018 and 2020, most likely resulting from the progressive harmonisation of KYC/AML standards across jurisdictions, such as initiated by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
The inclusion of firms exclusively supporting cryptoassets featured in FATF’s updated standards and recommendations is believed to have spurred greater compliance among this group of firms. However, this should not be interpreted as these companies becoming fully KYC compliant as some KYC checks are only applied to a subset of consumers.
54% of surveyed custodial service providers indicated that they performed an externally-led audit of their cryptoasset reserves over the past 12 months. This is a 24-percentage points decline compared to our 2018 sample. Firms that have undergone an independent audit are most likely to be operating out of Europe or the APAC region."
This proposal is part of the Digital Finance package, a package of measures to further enable and support the potential of digital finance in terms of innovation and competition while mitigating the risks.It is in line with the Commission priorities to make Europe fit for the digital age and to build a future-ready economy that works for the people.The digital finance package includes a new Strategy on digital finance for the EU financial sector with the aim to ensure that the EU embraces the digital revolution and drives it withinnovative European firms in the lead, making the benefits of digital finance available to European consumers and businesses.In addition to this proposal, the package also includes a proposal for a pilot regime on distributed ledger technology (DLT) market infrastructures, a proposal for digital operational resilience, and a proposal to clarify or amend certain related EU financial services rules.

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.
