Health Care Equipment Leasing Image

Health Care Equipment Leasing

Carl Boccuti

Equipment leasing in the health care sector typically stands apart from leasing in other industries. This is a notable point even in stable times, but is especially important to acknowledge as the political and economic environment has provoked an out-of-the-ordinary shift in the U.S. health care market. Reviewing several major developing areas may provide a fuller picture of health care equipment leasing's recent past and lends insight into what lies ahead.

Perfection and Priority of a Security Interest in Internationally Mobile Goods

James F. Fotenos

Even if a loan to a borrower is made by the Cayman Islands branch of a lender, and thus neither lender nor borrower has any "presence" in New York (other than, not atypically, lender's counsel), the parties' choice of New York law should be effective, as New York permits parties to commercial agreements involving not less than $250,000 to "agree that the law of this state shall govern their rights and duties in whole or in part, whether or not such contract, agreement or undertaking bears a reasonable relation to this state."

Matthew Gillis & Steven Berrent

For many firms, the time has come to ask a similar question about litigation data that they asked about the mailroom: Should we step up our infrastructure investments to host all of our own software tools and client matter files, or should we explore alternative options for outsourcing this crucial function?

    “Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.

  • Private Equity Valuation: A Significant Decision
    Insiders (and others) in the private equity business are accustomed to seeing a good deal of discussion ' academic and trade ' on the question of the appropriate methods of valuing private equity positions and securities which are otherwise illiquid. An interesting recent decision in the Southern District has been brought to our attention. The case is <i>In Re Allied Capital Corp.</i>, CCH Fed. SEC L. Rep. 92411 (US DC, S.D.N.Y., Apr. 25, 2003). Judge Lynch's decision is well written, the Judge reviewing a motion to dismiss by a business development company, Allied Capital, against a strike suit claiming that Allied's method of valuing its portfolio failed adequately to account for i) conditions at the companies themselves and ii) market conditions. The complaint appears to be, as is often the case, slap dash, content to point out that Allied revalued some of its positions, marking them down for a variety of reasons, and the stock price went down - all this, in the view of plaintiff's counsel, amounting to violations of Rule 10b-5.
