    Are legal costs a burden or a strategic investment for your venture capital-backed company? In this episode of "Heart of the Matter," we chat with David Cameron of David Cameron Law Office about fundamentally transforming your view of legal representation.

  • Reforming Insider Trading: Enhancing Integrity and Fairness in U.S. Securities Law

    Reforming Insider Trading: Enhancing Integrity and Fairness in U.S. Securities Law
    2025/03/23
    Discover why the U.S. securities laws, despite being considered the global "gold standard," have significant flaws in their insider trading framework. Professor Marc Steinberg reveals how the current system, based on vague fiduciary duty concepts, creates unfair outcomes and legal uncertainties.Drawing from his book "Rethinking Securities Law," Steinberg highlights the stark contrast between U.S. regulations and other developed markets. While other jurisdictions clearly prohibit trading on material non-public information, the U.S. approach leaves concerning loopholes, particularly in M&A situations.Key insights include:
    • The need for a comprehensive "access" approach to insider trading rules
    • Problems with SEC's extraterritorial enforcement
    • Tensions between SEC regulations and Supreme Court decisions
    • Comparison with more effective EU and Singapore models
    Ready to dive deep into the complexities of securities law and understand why reform is crucial? Listen to this eye-opening episode that challenges everything you thought you knew about U.S. insider trading regulations.

  • Understanding Indian Competition Law: Key Insights and Common Missteps

    Understanding Indian Competition Law: Key Insights and Common Missteps
    2025/03/14
    The episode covers key aspects of competition law in India, focusing on the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) approach to mergers and anti-competitive practices. The CCI scrutinizes deals where combined market shares exceed 30-40%, particularly among competitors, but has never blocked a transaction since the merger control regime began in 2011. Indian law generally treats companies and their subsidiaries as a single economic entity, except in bidding markets where group companies must avoid sharing sensitive information. The conversation highlights India's evolving competition law, drawing from mature jurisdictions while tailoring rules for the local market. Foreign investors are typically well-informed about Indian competition laws, aligning with approval processes and rules. The evolving legal landscape is seen as an exciting time for competition law practitioners in India.
