Our very own, Amanda Farahany, was mentioned in the Washington Post. She was one of multiple attorneys giving thoughts to the following topic: Publicly traded firms paid dividends, bought their own stock after receiving PPP loans to pay employees. Though the practice was not forbidden, it could raise questions about whether the PPP loan was needed.
