“No matter where they are organized or what industry they operate in, officers and directors of companies have certain fiduciary duties to the companies they manage and oversee. Among those is a duty of loyalty, which requires officers and directors to put the company’s interests before their own when making decisions on behalf of the company. Breaches of the duty of loyalty can take many forms – usurping a corporate opportunity for your own benefit, using private corporate information for personal gain, and taking a personal interest in transactions between the company and another party. The last one is among the issues being investigated in Red Lobster’s recent bankruptcy filing as the company alleges its former Interim CEO, Paul Kenny, made decisions on behalf of Red Lobster that ultimately benefited a breaded shrimp supplier (at which supplier’s request, Kenny was installed in his position as Interim CEO), to the detriment of Red Lobster. If the allegations are well founded, Kenny, and any other director or officer who participated or assisted in the breach of Kenny’s duties, could be personally liable for all of the financial damages resulting from his actions.” Said BAST AMRON LLP partner Dana Quick regarding a recent article published by Law360. https://lnkd.in/gk_aMCJd #insolvencylitigators #insolvencyandbankruptcy #insolvencyandrestructuring #Bankrutpcyinsights

I see articles like more and more often. Especially in the food and beverage industry. I posted a while back a few ways Schneider helps shippers prevent cargo theft. Here is a quick refresher - 1. High- and low-tech security solutions. 2. Restricted information access. 3. Rigorous equipment checks. 4. 24/7 customer service. 5. Thorough background checks on all drivers and carriers. 6. In-cab technology for real-time updates. 7. Strong relationships with security organizations for swift action. 8. Collaboration with Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) for the most secure cross-border shipping with a stellar 99.98% safety rating. Check out this case study on how we put freight security in action: http://sndr.pro/4p

I empower emerging cannabis entrepreneurs to level up and live better lives by providing strategic insights, creative solutions, and tailored support to help them build successful and sustainable brands.
Respectfully, I believe focusing too much on the issue of illegal smoke shops and the government’s enforcement plans is missing the bigger picture. Building a successful business or brand is fundamentally about focusing on value creation and innovation, not getting overly concerned with regulatory actions or the competition’s response to them. It’s our job to be aware of the legal landscape, beyond that- I think energy is better spent on developing great products and services. The most successful businesses tend to thrive by concentrating on what they can control: their own strategies and execution. This situation, is a distraction more than a genuine obstacle for those committed to business excellence. Maybe it’s my circle of professionals, but nobody’s actually worried about this in real life.
Last week Gov Hochul announced during a press conference that the OCM will be getting heightened enforcement authority to go after illegal smoke shops. This is far from the first time we've heard about "increased enforcement" so forgive many of us if we choose to believe it when we see it. But around the same time of this latest announcement I happened to come across a promotional flyer sent from a law firm specifically to smoke shop entities and I got to see a glimpse of the conversation that's taking place on the other side and why these smoke shops are so confidently unfazed. These smoke shops are being advised by legal professionals that its within their right to NOT stop operations for anything short of a court order. Especially when they can already see that the fines mean very little considering no one's actually collecting. All the talk in the world will mean nothing until people actually start to see examples of that talk turning into action. So Governor Hochul don't tell us your plan, show us your plan!
