Conducting commercial business involves a multitude of risks, and rendering in-house services as a legal professional involves responsibility for decisions that affect the risk profile of your company. This session will examine significant areas of direct corporate risk: regulatory, product/service performance, compliance, reputation and financial, among others, as well as mechanisms for effectively managing such risks.

Purchasing international health benefits is an increasingly complex responsibility. Don’t be caught unaware. A wide variety of US laws and regulations (federal and state) and other jurisdictions’ regulations may apply to the coverage that employers purchase for their global employees. Understanding the compliance environment is the first step in developing a strategy to manage and minimize the risks associated with purchasing international benefits.

In December 2005, Australia and 30 other countries agreed on international anti-money laundering (AML)/terrorist financing standards and nine special recommendations on terrorist financing. For companies who own or deal with operations in the Asia Pacific region, this is a major concern. This session will discuss the unique attributes of AML in this region, how companies can use this to their advantage, and areas to look out for in the future.

Companies faced with creating and implementing an effective global ethics and compliance program have a gargantuan task. While simplicity may be a worthy goal, it may also be stymied by the numerous requirements that need to be met. A global program must address not only multiple laws and regulations of the countries in which the company has employees and/or operations, but must also give consideration to language, cultural, and ethical differences and issues. Our panel of experts have “been there, done that.”

Competition laws around the world vary greatly. Corporate practitioners need to be familiar with these laws and how they could affect your company's business. This session will provide an overview of global competition law with a focus on harmonization within the EU and a comparison with Eastern European models.
