Not many surprises here. PODS, a moving and storage company, shared its data of cities to which most people moved and those from which people left. When leaving some jurisdictions, such as NYS and NYC, establishing a change of domicile for tax purposes can be quite a feat, involving complex residency rules and aggressive auditors. 👉 Know the residency rules of the jurisdiction to which you are moving or from which you are leaving 👉 Strategically plan your move 👉 Keep detailed documentation Link to article: https://lnkd.in/ehZ4hwi9 Marisa Friedrich, Esq. #changeofdomicile #moving #NYS #NYC #taxes #residency *Attorney Advertising Information Only.

It is another deal for the Krogerus team in the #SaaS and #unicorn space, but this still stands out as unique. The deal highlights not just a successful transaction, but also a nearly decade-long journey together. Back in 2015, we had the privilege of advising RELEX Solutions in connection with Summit Partners' initial investment. It is gratifying to see this relationship come full circle as Summit exits while RELEX continues its impressive growth. Moments like these remind me why long-term client relationships matter. This story underscores our firm belief that enduring client partnerships aren’t just about closing deals ‒ they’re about walking side by side through every phase of growth, challenge and success. It’s a testament to what happens when you invest in relationships, not just transactions. #krogerusfinland

Law360 has reported on the Delaware Court of Chancery suit filed by Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP client Martin Siegel, a shareholder of global utility and power company The AES Corp., against eleven of the company’s current and former board members, alleging that the company has "weaponized" advance notice requirements in its bylaws to make it “unreasonably difficult, if not impossible,” for stockholders to nominate candidates for the company’s board. Among the amendments the company made in August 2023 to its bylaws, provisions include an “acting in concert” definition that requires any stockholder who nominates a slate of directors to identify a broad assortment of people in order to make the nomination valid and requiring a nominating stockholder to disclose commercially sensitive performance-related fees it could pay if the value of its company stock appreciates. According to the filing, AES Corp. has stated publicly that it amended its bylaws to address the SEC’s universal proxy card rule that went into effect September 2022, which was intended to make it easier for shareholders to nominate alternative director candidates to company boards but has often resulted in companies adopting onerous advance notice requirements that disenfranchise shareholders. The plaintiff’s motion to expedite asserts that if the Chancery Court does not declare the bylaw provisions invalid before the November 26 deadline to nominate directors for the company’s 2025 stockholders’ meeting, the stockholders' franchise rights will be violated and stockholders will be “permanently harmed.” Olshan Chair of Litigation Lori Marks-Esterman and counsel Jacqueline Ma represent the plaintiff in this matter. #OlshanLaw #Delaware #ChanceryCourt https://lnkd.in/exyWgvr7
