  • WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- On the January 10 Webcast of Tax Talk Today, a panel of IRS officials and tax professionals discussed a wide range of tax law changes that will affect 2005 business returns (Part 1 of 2). One wide-reaching piece of legislation discussed by the panel is the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, which was signed into law just a few weeks ago on December 21, 2005, and is intended to ease burdens and stimulate growth for the areas affected by the 2005 hurricane season. Some key provisions of this legislation include:

  • Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), as Norman Solovoy describes it in the October 2009 issue of Business Law Today, "is "an umbrella term used to describe a panoply of techniques -- some well established, others emerging and evolving -- that can be used to resolve conflict without resort to litigation and without exposure to the increasingly unsupportable costs in money, and emotional stress, that always accompany a protracted court battle. My last two columns have described the cultural economic and social changes in the legal and business communities that have transposed ADR from a "cross-practice" which litigators engage in when they are contractually or court-ordered to do so to a fully integrated but increasingly separate and distinct set of dispute resolution services to be off...

  • Norman Solovoy, the chair of the alternative dispute resolution practice group at McLaughlin and Stern LLP in New York, said that "Alternative dispute resolution or ADR is an umbrella term used to describe a panoply of techniques -- some well established, others emerging and evolving -- that can be used to resolve conflict without resort to litigation and without exposure to the increasingly unsupportable costs in time, money, and emotional stress that almost always accompany a protracted court battle. In an article in the September/October 2009 issue of "Business Law Today," Polovoy suggests that in the 30 years (20 years in Maryland) since ADR became an integral part of the lexicon of the practice of law and more recently the separate field of dispute resolution, it has been (and sti...

  • Africa is the new China," said one attendee at the African Development Bank's event at Hofstra Law School today. The business opportunities - in fields such as green energy and infrastructure - available through Tunisia-based African Development Bank, seem to suggest that is true. Consulting opportunities and investments available through the bank were discussed at length and some Long Island businesses, including Port Washington-based Pall Corp., seemed interested.

  • Law school graduates today can expect a huge range of potential salaries, from the mid-$30,000s in public-interest jobs, such as at public defenders' offices, to a high end of $140,000 in major private practice firms in larger metropolitan areas, though the high end likely will decrease over the next few years due to economic pressures, Martin says. The three major components of the new program include the core courses in legal procedure and knowledge, which the school will retain from the previous program but with a slightly decreased emphasis; a greater emphasis on skills training, focusing on analytical, organization al, presentation, and interpersonal skills; and an increased focus on professional ism, going beyond the field of ethics into such work habits as punctuality, Martin sa...

  • Todd Grams has one of the most taxing assignments in government. As chief information officer at the Internal Revenue Service, he must rescue the latest multibillion-dollar effort to overhaul the agency's computer systems. The current troubled effort to modernize began in December 1998, when the IRS launched an ambitious 15-year plan to change the way it does business. The 1998 plan was supposed to salvage the agency's reputation, turning the IRS into a modern, customer-friendly organization. But Murphy's Law prevailed. Today, the IRS Business Systems Modernization project is more than a quarter-billion dollars over budget. Its key component, renovation of the master database of taxpayer records, is more than 3 years behind schedule. Five other modernization-related components also are ...
