What Is Banking and Private Credit in the U.S. Financial System?

How Does Business Valuation Work under New York Law?
The standard of value decides more than the methodology does. Fair value and fair market value are not the same thing, and the gap between them is often thirty to forty percent of the number.In a shareholder appraisal or an oppression proceeding under New York law, the standard is fair value — and minority discounts do not apply. The premise is that the shareholder is being bought out involuntarily, not selling into a market.For gift and estate purposes, the standard is fair market value, which contemplates a hypothetical willing buyer. Discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability apply, and they apply substantially. The same shares, valued on the same date, produce very different figures depending on which proceeding you are in.Matrimonial matters follow their own rules again. New York distinguishes enterprise goodwill from goodwill personal to the owner, and the treatment of a professional license changed by statute in 2016 — enhanced earning capacity is no longer marital property, though a spouse's contributions remain a distributive factor. Materials written before that change are still in circulation. And the valuation date is a legal question, not an accounting one. Appraisal looks to the moment before the transaction. Matrimonial cases may use different dates for different assets, somewhere between commencement and trial. Moving the date can move the outcome more than changing the method.

Cartel Investigations: a Legal Guide to Antitrust Risk and Defense
The first decision is not how to defend. It is whether to report. The Justice Department's leniency program grants immunity to the first company to self-report. Only the first. A company that arrives second receives nothing under the program, and the calculation has to be made before anyone knows how much exposure exists or who else is talking. Leniency also limits what follows. An applicant that cooperates with civil claimants faces single rather than treble damages and avoids joint and several liability for the rest of the conspiracy — which, in a large cartel, is often the larger number. Individual and corporate interests separate immediately. Sherman Act violations carry prison terms for individuals. Employees who cooperate under a corporate leniency grant are protected; employees who cooperate on their own, before the company decides, are not protected in the same way, and the company loses control of the timeline. New York adds a claim federal law does not allow. The Donnelly Act permits indirect purchasers to sue, while federal law generally limits standing to direct purchasers. The same conduct can therefore produce a federal class action and a separate New York action by parties further down the distribution chain. The Attorney General enforces the statute independently, and it carries its own criminal provisions. Before any of that, stop deletion. Documents lost after an investigation becomes foreseeable create a second case, easier to prove than the first.
