What Labour has in store for your pension
The pensioner vote has been a key battleground in this election. One of the Conservatives’ key pledges was the introduction of the “triple lock plus” – extra tax breaks for the retired.

Similar investments have been announced in other countries that share free trade agreements with the United States, including South Korea and Mexico.

Exxon-Hess arbitration panel nears formation, sources say
The final member has been chosen for a three-person arbitration panel meant to settle Exxon Mobil's claim against Chevron's $53 billion purchase of Hess Corp, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The panel's formation would be a milestone in a long-delayed process that has cast uncertainty over the mega-merger, which both Chevron and Hess had hoped would close in the first half of 2024. Exxon filed the arbitration claim with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in March, arguing that it has a right of first refusal over Hess's assets in Guyana.

Polestar posts loss, plans steps to offset tariffs on China-made EVs
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Electric vehicle (EV) maker Polestar said it will have to take steps to offset hefty EU and U.S. import tariffs on its Chinese-made electric cars as it posted a first-quarter operating loss on Tuesday. The Swedish company, controlled by China's Geely, makes all its EVs in China, but its new model, the Polestar 3, will be made in the United States from the end of this summer and its Polestar 4 in South Korea from the second half of next year. Until then, it will incur provisional tariffs of 20% for the cars it brings into the European Union under a proposal by the European Commission and more than 100% for the United States.

Microsoft will pay $14M to settle allegations it discriminated against employees who took leave
Microsoft Corp. has agreed to pay $14.4 million to settle allegations that the global software giant retaliated and discriminated against employees who took protected leave, including parental and disability, the California Civil Rights Department announced Wednesday. The proposed settlement stems from a multi-year investigation by the California agency and the consent decree is subject to approval in state court in Santa Clara County, where the Redmond, Washington-based company has an office. The state agency, which launched its investigation in 2020, alleged that employees who took leave from work due to pregnancy or disability, or to bond with a new baby or care for a sick family member, received lower bonuses and unfavorable performance reviews.

Apple ex-lawyer ordered to pay $1.15 million SEC fine for insider trading
The former senior Apple lawyer who avoided prison time after pleading guilty to insider trading must pay a $1.15 million fine in a related U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission civil case, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. U.S. District Judge William Martini in Newark, New Jersey, said that while Gene Levoff "was not living excessively, his violations were nonetheless especially egregious" given the lawyer's former role enforcing Apple's insider trading policies. Levoff had been senior director of corporate law at Apple before the iPhone maker fired him in September 2018.

US law firms smell opportunity as Supreme Court guts agency powers
Law firms are capitalizing on client uncertainty sparked by a flurry of new U.S. Supreme Court rulings that favored opponents of federal agency powers, even as lawyers themselves differ on the decisions' immediate and long-term effects. Within hours of the decisions, major U.S. law firms began sending out client-focused emails and webinar invitations to discuss the cases and showcase their expertise, a marketing strategy that often follows major legal developments. Law firms known for challenging federal regulations stand to be particularly busy, but lawyers said it will take time for the new landscape to take shape.
