Holiday custody in California depends on your court order’s terms, including holiday dates, exchange times, and exceptions. When Thanksgiving plans clash with the regular parenting schedule, the order may cover the day, weekend, or school break. An unclear provision and a missed exchange raise different issues.

Selecting the best cross-border M&A law firm New York corporate buyers and sellers rely on requires evaluating both multi-jurisdictional tax structuring and regulatory trial experience. Delay in a cross-border acquisition usually comes from the filings rather than from the negotiation. The HSR form was overhauled by a final rule effective February 10, 2025, and now requires transaction rationale documents, overlapping business descriptions, and prior acquisition history. Preparing it takes weeks rather than days, so a timetable built on the former form understates the runway. The waiting period itself is unchanged at 30 days, or 15 for a cash tender offer or a bankruptcy sale. A foreign buyer may separately face a mandatory CFIUS filing due at least 30 days before closing, and foreign merger control regimes run their own suspensory periods — closing before those expire is gun-jumping regardless of US clearance. Withholding is the other item to fix before signing. Where the seller is a foreign person and the target is a United States real property holding corporation, § 1445 requires the buyer to withhold 15 percent of the gross purchase price, and a buyer that fails to withhold becomes liable for the tax. A non-foreign affidavit from the seller relieves the obligation and belongs in the closing deliverables. On the division of work between transaction counsel and local counsel in each jurisdiction, what matters is that the engagement letters state who is responsible for which filing and on whose analysis the buyer is relying. That allocation belongs in the engagement documents, not in the purchase agreement.
