Higgs, Fletcher & Mack LLP’s business and transactional practice is divided into three Practice Groups: the Real Estate Practice Group, the Taxation/Trust and Estates Practice Group, and the Corporate and Securities Practice Group. This newsletter contains three articles prepared by members of the Corporate and Securities Practice Group. The first article by Charles F. Reidlebach, Jr. and R. Michael Jones discusses a recent court decision that has made more complex the process of searching UCC records for financing statements such as in a merger or acquisition, where intellectual property rights are involved. The second article by Jonathan A. Grissom discusses board authority and fiduciary duties of directors of non-profit corporations. The final article, written by R. Michael Jones, discusses some issues that can arise in selecting a name for a new California business.

The Corporate and Securities Practice Group of Higgs, Fletcher & Mack LLP intends to publish this newsletter from time to time to address important issues or developments in the law that may affect our business clients. At any time if you have any questions concerning any corporate or securities matters affecting your business, please feel free to contact any members of the Practice Group whose names are listed below.
