BOSTON – Mintz has served as legal counsel to wealth-management firm Lido Advisors LLC, a Charlesbank Capital Partners portfolio company, in its partnership with Colorado Financial Management (CFM).

Press Release Thumbnail Mintz

Mintz attorneys in Boston, New York, and Washington, DC, closed four Private Equity transactions in the past month. Along with acquisitions for Charlesbank Capital Partners, DIF Capital Partners portfolio company Joink LLC, and Artemis Capital Partners, the firm represented the CEO and some managers of Salary.com in the sale of most of the company’s equity interests to Accel-KKR.

Enacted on December 22, 2017, the 2017 tax act (Pub. L. No. 115-97, §13602(a)) added §4960 to the Internal Revenue Code. This new section imposes an excise tax on the amount of ‘‘remuneration’’ in excess of $1 million, plus any ‘‘excess parachute payment’’ paid by an ‘‘applicable tax-exempt organization’’ to a ‘‘covered employee.’’ The Chair of Mintz’s Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Practice, Alden J. Bianchi, and associate Alexander K. Song, explore §4960 in this article, and conclude that from the perspective of the board or management of an ATEO, there is a lot not to like in §4960 and the IRS’s interpretation of the statute in the Notice.
Mintz attorneys represented Seventh Generation, Inc. in its recent sale to Unilever. Based in Vermont, Seventh Generation is a pioneer in corporate responsibility and sustainable product innovations, including plant-based detergents and household cleaners.
