Akin Attorneys Author Article on SEC and CFTC Collaboration in Digital Asset Oversight
The Review of Securities & Commodities Regulation has published an article "A 'New Era of Collaboration' Over Digital Assets Between the SEC and CFTC" written by Akin investment funds litigation partner Jacqueline Yecies and white collar defense & government investigations senior counsel Jack Murphy. The article examines the SEC and the CFTC's evolving relationship concerning the oversight of digital assetsand how it's fostering a new, transparent regulatory framework.
The authors share that, "the SEC's retreat from its 'enforcement-first' approach" allows for "an environment in which digital asset companies can innovate in the U.S. without fear of reprisal," while "the CFTC has stepped forward with a series of proposals to ease restrictions on digital asset market participants and expand access to trading" resulting in "clearer guideposts, new opportunities, and a regulatory environment that encourages innovation."

NEW YORK, April 8 -- Morrison and Foerster, a law firm, issued the following news release on April 6, 2026:

MoFo Secures Favorable Settlement for Silvergate Directors and Officers
Morrison Foerster played a leading role in the Chapter 11 cases of Silvergate Capital Corporation and its affiliates, representing a former officer of the company and securing a favorable settlement that benefited its client and a broader group of directors and officers, for whom the firm served as a de facto spokesperson.
Shortly after entering Chapter 11, Silvergate moved to estimate and cap indemnificationobligations owed to its directors and officers as part of a broader effort to maximize recoveries for its preferred shareholders. Through early-stage advocacy and strategic use of recent Third Circuit authority, MoFo successfully blocked the debtors' strategy and secured a favorable global settlement. Among other things, Silvergate agreed to release all estate claims against its directors and officers, to fund a resolution of related securities litigation, to pay all indemnifiable legal fees, and to establish a $60 million backstop (up from $10 million) for future indemnification obligations. The outcome represents a significant victory for Silvergate's directors and officers.
California-based Silvergate Bank was a prominent financial institution focused on the crypto and digital asset industry. In 2023, it commenced a voluntary liquidation in response to instability in the crypto markets and increased regulatory scrutiny. Its parent, Silvergate Capital Corporation, subsequently filed for Chapter 11 protection in the District of Delaware in September 2024 to wind down its remaining assets. The cases were structured as a liquidation, with the debtors pursuing a strategy that sought to estimate and cap the company's contingent liabilities, including indemnification claims owed to directors and officers, while facilitating a substantial distribution to its preferred shareholders.
MoFo's advocacy was instrumental in driving an about-face in Silvergate's strategy. By advancing a focused and legally grounded objection at the outset of the case, the firm secured a materially enhanced recovery for its client and other similarly situated individuals. The result underscores the firm's ability to deliver efficient, high-impact results in complex, contested restructuring matters.
The MoFo team was led by Bankruptcy partner Ben Butterfield, Bankruptcy Litigation partner Theresa Foudy, Bankruptcy counsel Andrew Kissner, and Bankruptcy associate Darren Smolarski, with invaluable support from Investigations + White Collar partners Deborah L. Connor and Haimavathi V. Marlier.

WASHINGTON, April 8 -- Dentons, a law firm, issued the following news on April 7, 2026:
* * *
Dentons Rodyk at 165, Built on Legal Heritage and Shaped for What's Next
In 2026, Dentons Rodyk reaches a seminal milestone: 165 years of continuous legal practice in Singapore.
* The first notice by newly minted law firm Woods & Davidson, dated 23 July 1861, published in The Straits Times on 3 August 1861
Founded in 1861, the firm has endured not by standing still, but by evolving alongside Singapore in constant transformation--from colonial outpost to global commercial hub. Its longevity reflectsmore than history; it signals an ability to adapt, to challenge convention, and to remain relevant as the roles of law, lawyers, and legal institutions continue to evolve.
"A 165-year-old law firm cannot survive by preserving the past. We endure because we adapt," said Managing Partner Gerald Singham. "Singapore has never stood still, and neither have we. From advising on landmark public listings to integrating AI into daily practice, our responsibility is not only to keep pace with change, but to shape it."
Legacy & Stewardship Focus
Rising to prominence as Singapore's leading law firm in the 20th century, Rodyk & Davidson strengthened its foundations through a strategic merger with Helen Yeo & Partners in 2002.
Breaking Barriers in Law
Among the firm's most defining chapters was the role of Helen Yeo, a trailblazer who became managing partner at a time when senior leadership in Singapore's legal profession was almost exclusively male. Helen led during an era when female firm leaders were the exception rather than the norm, guiding the firm through periods of profound economic and professional change, and setting rigorous standards for governance, client trust, and long-term stewardship. Her leadership marked a quiet but consequential shift--not only strengthening the firm's foundations but also expanding the boundaries of what was possible for women in law.
Local Roots to Global Reach
In 2011, Philip Jeyaretnam succeeded Helen Yeo as managing partner. A Cambridge educated advocate and one of the youngest lawyers to be appointed senior counsel when he was bestowed the title in 2003 at the age of 38, Philip brought to the role a calm, principled leadership style shaped by his belief that a law firm endures only when each generation consciously renews and builds on what it has inherited. He emphasised investment in younger lawyers, nurturing and retention of talent, and a culture that values judgement, training, and quiet excellence over short term gain. Under his leadership, Rodyk & Davidson joined Dentons, the world's largest law firm, marrying its deep local heritage and institutional knowledge with the strength of a global platform spanning more than 80 countries.
* Philip Jeyaretnam succeeds Helen Yeo as managing partner in 2011
Leading Dentons Across ASEAN
In 2021, leadership passed to Gerald Singham, marking a significant chapter in the firm's continuing evolution. Having spent his entire professional career at Singapore's oldest law firm, Gerald embodies the firm's living institutional memory while firmly orienting it toward the future. Appointed Deputy Managing Partner in 2011, he assumed the role of Managing Partner of Dentons Rodyk alongside his broader responsibilities as Dentons' Global Vice Chair and ASEAN CEO. Under his leadership, Dentons has accelerated its expansion across Southeast Asia, with established offices in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Myanmar and, most recently, Thailand through a combination with leading Thai law firm Pisut & Partners. This growing ASEAN platform reinforces the firm's long standing commitment to connecting clients with exceptional legal talent across the region's seven largest ASEAN economies, while anchoring regional growth in Singapore's oldest legal institution.

* Rodyk & Davidson combines with world's largest law firm Dentons in June 2016
* Dentons ASEAN launches its office in Thailand in February 2026
Landmark Legal Work Across the Nation's History
Over more than 165 years, Dentons Rodyk's work has run in parallel with Singapore's nation-building story--advising on transactions and disputes that marked defining chapters in the country's development.
The firm advised on the successful public listing of Singapore Airlines, a milestone IPO that reflected Singapore's emergence as a global aviation and financial hub. It also advised Yayasan Mendaki on the establishment of Amanah Saham Mendaki, the first Shariah compliant unit trust scheme, supporting greater financial inclusion and community empowerment. Dentons Rodyk defended the main contractor in the Commission of Inquiry into the Nicoll Highway collapse, one of the most significant infrastructure-related inquiries in the nation's history.
* The firm advised on the IPO of Singapore Airlines, reflecting the nation's emergence as a global aviation hub
The firm has also built enduring relationships with clients by standing alongside them through complex legal challenges and pivotal moments of change. From supporting Nomanbhoy & Sons, one of Singapore's oldest commodity trading firms, as it expanded its international trade operations, to assisting healthcare leader IHH Healthcare in navigating digital transformation, and advising global infrastructure and technology group Boustead on major projects and strategic divestments, Dentons Rodyk has played a trusted role at critical turning points in clients' journeys.
Across industries and jurisdictions, the firm continues to support clients on landmark transactions and complex matters, offering the experience, judgement and long-term perspective that only time and trust can provide.
* The firm has been supporting long-time client Nomanbhoy & Sons since 1893
From Heritage to High-Tech
As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the legal industry, Dentons Rodyk has embraced the future of law responsibly, practically, and strategically. From smarter drafting and faster research to more efficient client communications, the use of AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot has become part of daily operations. Teams report meaningful time savings, higher-quality output, and innovative ways to serve clients more effectively. One early success saw the Finance team use AI to improve client follow-ups, boosting responsiveness and streamlining invoicing.
The firm's approach to technology, guided by a dedicated Innovation team, combines structured training, targeted rollout, and a culture of engagement to ensure every adoption step is responsible and value-driven. With over 70% of licensed users engaging with Copilot weekly or daily, AI is firmly embedded in how the firm practises law and manages operations.
Looking ahead, 2026 will see AI fully integrated across operations, with expanded adoption, advanced workflows, and firmwide AI fluency. By combining 165 years of heritage with cutting-edge technology, Dentons Rodyk continues to redefine what a modern law firm can achieve for its people, clients, and the legal profession.
"We do not see AI replacing lawyers, but we do see it reshaping how judgement is exercised and how value is delivered," said Managing Partner Gerald Singham.
Building a Forward-Looking Practice
From a modest notice in The Straits Times in 1861 to a firm operating across ASEAN and the globe, Dentons Rodyk's journey mirrors Singapore's own transformation. The past 165 years were defined by growth, and the years ahead will be shaped by innovation and responsibility. Built on legal heritage and shaped for what's next, the firm remains guided by the same principle that sustained it from the beginning: to serve with integrity, adapt with conviction, and stand alongside clients through every era of change.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, April 8 -- Bradley, a law firm, issued the following news release on April 7, 2026:

Bradley Represents Molpus Woodlands Group in Transaction Creating Large Global Timberland Investment Manager
Bradley served as legal counsel to Mississippi-based Molpus Woodlands Group LLC (Molpus), a leading timberland investment management organization, in connection with its agreement to sell a majority interest to London-based Gresham House, a specialist alternative asset management group. The combined businesses will have approximately $8 billion in forestry assets under management,creating one of the world's largest timberland investment managers.
The Bradley team advising on the transaction was led by Birmingham corporate partners Harold B. Kushner and Tracy M. Thompson and included Marc Bussone, Butler Sparks, and Jared Skinner. The team advised on the structuring of the transaction and the structure and governance of the resulting combined businesses, among other matters.
Molpus is one of the oldest timber-related companies in the U.S. and is an SEC-registered investment adviser that acquires and manages sustainable timberland as an investment vehicle for pension funds, college endowments, foundations, insurance companies, and high-net-worth individual investors. Molpus currently manages approximately 1.9 million acres of timberland across 15 states. The company's existing brand will be retained, and the management team will continue to provide deep regional investment expertise as part of the expanded Gresham House team. This transaction marks Gresham House's first corporate acquisition in the U.S., expanding its global timberland offering. The combined businesses will remain privately owned, and financial terms were not disclosed. The transaction was announced on March 31, 2026, and remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.
Since 2020, Molpus and Gresham House have raised approximately $2.5 billion in timberland mandates, including more than $1 billion in 2025. As natural capital continues to gain prominence as an asset class, the ability to offer a fully global service is expected to position the combined company as a go-to manager for institutional investors.
The Bradley team is serving as legal counsel to The Molpus Woodlands Group, LLC, alongside Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, while Moelis & Company is serving as financial advisor. Eversheds Sutherland is serving as legal counsel to Gresham House, and Deloitte provided financial, tax and regulatory due diligence advice.
