The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) recently released its Annual Report for the calendar year of 2022.  In addition to the trend that CFIUS required mitigation measures in nearly one out of every four unique transactions for which a notice was filed, Singapore has emerged as the new lead investor country in notices.

This program will feature an interactive discussion of national security concerns facing companies today. With today’s ever-changing geopolitical climate, governments and regulators have given increased scrutiny to foreign investments that involve emerging and critical technologies, critical infrastructure, and personal data. Understanding the shared regulatory trends, as well as unique considerations of each regime, has become critical for those engaged in international trade, investment, and mergers and acquisitions. The speakers will discuss:

  • Key takeaways from CFIUS Annual Report
  • Continued focus on personal data, particularly security around foreign nations and threat actors
  • Case studies of recent transactions
  • “Reverse CFIUS” proposal on potential regulation for outbound investment out of the US and into international companies and resources

 

This program will offer two perspectives on managing the corporate litigation process.

The first half will be presented by firm-side attorneys who manage litigation. The speakers will cover what in-house counsel needs to know about preventing and responding to litigation, and how to best work with their outside firm throughout the process.

During the second portion of the program, The Hon. J. Philip Calabrese will share a behind-the-bench perspective on how in-house counsel can best prepare themselves and their outside counsel for litigation.

Please join ACC Northeast and Morgan Lewis for this important in-person program where we will explore implications of the McDonald decision.
 
Earlier this year, the Delaware Court of Chancery held for the first time that corporate officers may be held liable for failure to exercise a duty of oversight.  The Court also suggested that employment law issues may trigger claims for violations of fiduciary duties.

If you are involved with your company's employment law, litigation, corporate governance or corporate law matters, you will want to attend this program for the benefit of your colleagues and potentially yourself.  You will learn about best practices to prevent the officers of your company, whether public or private, from landing in hot water.  Learn how to protect your company's officers and directors from claims that could cause distraction and reputational harm, while also preserving attorney-client privilege if litigation arises.

Ample time will be allocated for Q & A and networking.
