PLI Remembers
We offer condolences on the passing of these dear friends and colleagues in 2025.
Catherine T. Dixon, a leader in corporate law, business transactions, and disclosure, and retired partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges. She shared her knowledge with others, contributing regularly to PLI programs for more than a decade, including the Annual Institute on Securities Regulation, Private Placements and Hybrid Securities Offerings, and Corporate Governance, among others. Earlier in her career, Catherine served as Chief Counsel of the Division of Corporation Finance at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Arthur Fleischer, Jr., who co-founded PLI’s Annual Institute on Securities Regulation and regularly presented at the program for more than 50 years. He spent his 65-year legal career at Fried Frank, where he led the Mergers and Acquisitions Practice and built a reputation as a pioneering dealmaker in mergers and acquisitions while championing pro bono work and the arts. He also served as Executive Assistant to the Chairman of the SEC from 1961 to 1964.
Hon. George C. Pratt (Retired), former U.S. Circuit Court Judge for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and a former U.S. District Court Judge in the Eastern District of New York. A founder of Farrell Fritz, he returned to that firm after retiring from the bench and served as an arbitrator and mediator in national and international disputes. Judge Pratt was the founding Co-Chair of PLI’s Annual Section 1983 Civil Rights Litigation program, now in its 43rd year.
