“Taboo Trades” podcast host Kim Krawiec looks at behavior that society views as moral, or that is sometimes applauded — such as egg donation — until money is added to the mix. @RisaGoluboff Cathy Hwang law.virginia.edu/commonlaw/show…

It was a delight to converse with my friend Joydeep Sengupta of Mayer Brown Paris and Joan Betti of HEAD earlier this week on how transactional lawyers add value. Thanks so much to HEAD for a lovely welcome.

Profs. Kristen Eichensehr and Cathy Hwang will be panelists today for the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law’s conference “The Changing Concept of National Security and the International Economic Law System.” isdc.ch/en/events/next…

In Session 4, Kristin Eichensehr, Thomas Cottier Ben Heath Carolyn Moser and Andreas Müller discuss “Changing Concepts of National Security and the View from Switzerland” at ISDC #nationalsecurity

Loved being in Lausanne today to discuss my paper w/ Kristen Eichensehr, National Security Creep in Corp Transactions, at the Swiss Institute of Comparative Law ISDC. Thanks x100 to ISDC Vice Director Krista Nadakavukaren for inviting me.

My RA (& future intl/natsec scholar!) David Dah-Wei Yih created this accurate artist’s rendition of me as a baby M&A lawyer, which definitely 100% made it into today’s talk ISDC. I think my RAs really get me. Learn more about David here: law.virginia.edu/graduatestudie….

Updated my usual Darth Vader costume yesterday with a Mickey ears in honor of my current visit UF Levin College of Law. Pierson made an appearance as the final Deals guest speaker of the semester (dressed as my loyal steed, a TIE fighter).

Huge pleasure to spend the day @pittlaw, where I’ve gotten such helpful comments on my new paper, Refracted Intent (coming to submissions near you in Feb!). Highlight: Spending time w/ Zhaoyi Li , a VAP & shiny new biz/tech scholar on the tenure-track teaching this year!

It was wonderful to present a new project at the ILEP/Penn Journal of Biz Law symposium University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School in honor of the great Jill Fisch. Thanks to amiazad for this selfie. Jill said that I “look like [my] beagle” in this pic. Beagle pic for comparison—no lie detected.

Some of my UF Levin College of Law Deals students made friendship bracelets based on class themes (and recurring class jokes, and their Taylor Swift-themed final presentation)! I want everyone to note that they made a bracelet that says MOLK (front of pic) for UF’s fave biz law prof, Peter Molk.

Excited to share my new article on SSRN, analyzing the evolving landscape of corporate policy customization and how external enforcement plays a key role in shaping internal compliance strategies. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Grateful to UC Davis Law Review for their excellent edits!

New (lunar) new year, new platform. For the foreseeable future, I’ll be trying out Bluesky. Find me there for mostly conference pics and pics of the world’s cutest rescue beagle, Pierson: bsky.app/profile/cathyh… Happy year of the Dragon! 🐲🐲🐲

.UC Berkeley Law Law & Econ workshop: fabulous comments, hang-outs with the awesome Cal peeps, and… AN ITTY BITTY MOONCAKE 🥮 from my fave Berkeley Asian bakery to bring home just in time for Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow.

Happy to have this out in the world. Small courts matter - a lot. Thanks to the California Law Review editors for their work in bringing this to print.

It was a delight to chat with Greg Shill’s Corporate Governance & Control seminar Iowa Law yesterday about Purpose & Nonprofit Enterprise (co-authored with Dorothy Lund). Sadly no Webster the Duck🦆 cameo (you have to be an OG Greg fan to get this ref) but still fun.

We’re taking Purpose & Nonprofit Enterprise on the road! Just wrapped up a very productive & lovely workshop Duke Law; Dorothy Lund presenting tomorrow Columbia Law School. Incredible comments and weather; BEST company. linili Emilie Aguirre
