In what almost certainly will be the last significant legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act, the U.S. Supreme Court today dismissed on procedural grounds a lawsuit led by Republican state officials. In a 7–2 opinion, the court ruled that the plaintiffs did not show a sufficient injury to their interests to give them standing to sue. In so ruling, the court sidestepped the plaintiffs’ argument that Congress’s repeal of the tax on individuals who do not buy health insurance converted the mandate from a lawful tax into an unconstitutional penalty requiring the whole law to be struck down. The court’s ruling leaves the ACA intact in its entirety, including the employer mandate.
Ortoli | Rosenstadt: What Exactly Is a Seller Responsible for When Selling Its Staffing Firm?
Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification. Indemnification is one of the most heavily negotiated, and potentially most significant, provisions of a purchase agreement, and understanding the terminology common to such agreements is essential when negotiating a deal. Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.
