Interesting Reads of the Week

Some interesting legal reads for the week of June 23, 2014:

  • DealBook’s Steven M. Davidoff on mergers motivated by the inversion tax loophole, providing for tax savings by reincorporation abroad.

  • A nice obit in the Wall Street Journal for Leonard Rosen, one of the founders of Wachtell Lipton, whose son Adam is a neighbor and friend.  I met Leonard a couple of times, once on a beach in Florida, where he spent about 20 minutes playing catch with my son.  Great guy and great lawyer, who will be missed.
