Winston & Strawn LLP represented Revelstoke Capital Partners, a Denver-based private equity firm, in its investment in Family Care Center (FCC or the Company), a provider of outpatient psychiatry services to the U.S. Armed Forces, veterans, and the surrounding communities.

The Company provides psychotherapy services, medication management, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, treating patients suffering from general anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other chronic mental health conditions.
Experience
Winston represented a major international fashion company in a highly confidential matter that began as an urgent investigation of harassment and related allegations. Over the course of the investigation, we convened a meeting of the Board of Directors; provided regular consultation with the five female executive complainants and subsequent negotiation with complainants counsel; conducted an interview and negotiation with the CEO (the accused) and his counsel; revised employment contracts; revised severance agreements; updated handbooks; planned for a reduction-in-force (RIF); provided daily consultation with interim executives; and dealt with insurance brokers and carriers; among other things. Following our investigation, the CEO was suspended, his employment terminated, and a settlement was reached over his long-term agreement. Following that, three of the five female executive accusers were part of a RIF. They subsequently prepared a lawsuit and obtained declarations (from many other RIF’d employees). At mediation, we settled the matter on behalf of our client for approximately one tenth of the claim value.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) refers to policies and practices that prevent, detect, and report financial crimes. The principal U.S. federal law on money laundering is the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), also known as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970. The BSA generally mandates financial institutions to assist in governmental investigations by keeping records of cash purchases or negotiable instruments, filing reports of cash transactions exceeding a set daily aggregate amount, and reporting suspicious activity that may hint at money laundering, tax evasion, or other criminal activities.

What Does “No Sugar Added” Mean?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set guidelines regarding the meaning of no sugar added. The FDA provides specific labeling requirements for the nutrient content of foods and claims about those foods. According to the FDA, when manufacturers claim a food has “no added sugars,” it cannot be processed with any sugar or sugar-containing ingredients, though it can have sugar alcohol or artificial sweeteners. Products without added sugar can contain naturally occurring sugar.
