New update from attorneys John F. Fatino and Nathan Britton. In an effort to combat crime, Congress passed into law the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) as part of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.1 The CTA (31 U.S.C. § 5336) requires certain businesses to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the US Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This article will attempt to summarize these new obligations. https://lnkd.in/g_uCYU9r #WhitfieldLaw #DSMUSA #CorporateTransparencyAct

Update from John F. Fatino with assistance from law clerk and University of Iowa College of Law student Shay Slifka. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has upheld a ruling from the District Court for the District of Minnesota, holding that the District Court properly denied Defendant’s motion to compel arbitration because the “dispute” in the case arose after the date that the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 (“Act”) went into effect. Famuyide v. Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., No. 23-3201, 2024 WL 3643637 (8th Cir. Aug. 5, 2024). The Act provides certain limitations on arbitration in the employment context. This case appears to be the Eighth Circuit’s first formal discussion of the Act. https://lnkd.in/gmay6Nk4
