In an panel discussion, several financial services executives shared their views on "the Ideal Basel." Michael Roster, former Executive VP and General Counsel, Golden West Financial, said that the Ideal Basel is probably one that management, boards of directors, regulators and the markets understand. Karen Shaw Petrou, managing partner of Federal Financial Analytics, said that it has been suggested that perhaps they should just keep the Basel I regime in place with its leverage requirement, but she thinks they will find that increasingly dangerous precisely because the cycle is turning. Wayne Abernathy, the Executive Director for Financial Institutions Policy and Regulatory Affairs at the American Bankers Association, said that the idea behind Basel I was that you should have one set of...
A panel discussion on "Consumer Issues" is presented. When you talk about a joint venture, one of the things to keep in the back of your mind is that a joint venture is a merger, of a kind. But sometimes when you create a joint venture -- and they are created, very often, by competing organizations -- they get together and merge any number of items and processes and operations to achieve a business objective. Visa and MasterCard are of that kind. Antitrust law has recognized, as a general proposition, that joint ventures are often pro-competitive. However, joint ventures also can be a device for anti-competitive activity, particularly when there are competitors involved. Most joint ventures are adjudicated under the so-called rule of reason. Networks are often formed through joint ventu...
Association of the American Law Schools Panel on the International Criminal Court - Panel Discussion A panel on the International Criminal Court, sponsored by the Sections on International Law and Criminal Justice of the Association of American Law Schools, took place at New Orleans, Louisiana, on January 9, 1999. The year 1999 marks the centennial of the first Hague Peace Conference, which encouraged the development of international criminal law. An important development since then is that individual officials, as well as states collectively, can be held accountable for abuses.
A panel discussion on "Development of Bank Merger Law" is presented. Doug Broder, the co-head of the Antitrust Group at K&L Gates, said the panel is going to discuss the substantive competitive analysis of bank mergers. Bank mergers are subject to similar, but not identical, procedures. Bank mergers are analyzed under section 7, but with a difference. The relevant statutes are the Bank Merger Acts of 1960 and 1966 and the Bank Holding Company Act. For the most part, bank mergers do not require notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, but that's because they require approval from one of several regulatory agencies depending on what category the merging banks fall into. Empirical analysis tends to indicate that bank efficiency is negatively correlated to concentration. Nonetheles...
A panel discussion on "New Challenges in the Boardroom" is presented. Holly Gregory of Weil, Gotshal & Managers LLP said that service as a director today is very challenging, given the array of pressures that corporations face, and also given the heightened scrutiny that they are under from shareholders, from regulators, from the courts, from the media, from a whole host of a cottage industry of governance, rating agencies, and proxy advisors, and from the public at large. So, to her, governance takes place increasingly in a fishbowl, in which it seems that every board in action is potentially fodder for criticism, for shareholder action, for litigation, or for regulatory action. Dan Englander of Ursula Capital Partners LP added that in terms of his own biases on what makes a good d...
