The European Union has been preparing new rules on the provision of financial services across EU borders, called MiFid, that will apply broadly across Europe and allow easier and broader access to European financial markets through a common set of rules. At the same time, outside financial services firms are advancing at a fast pace in China, taking advantage of continuing liberalization efforts there. Take this opportunity to learn about the legal issues that corporate counsel and compliance staff should be most concerned about when it comes to expansion efforts in the E.U.

The focus is on European Downsizing, labor costs and job reduction, featuring graphs and charts with specific numerical data.

Class actions may be going global. This session addressed the current waves of new or proposed class action laws outside the US and the compatibility of such actions with European and other civil law jurisdictions. Italy has a proposed law under consideration that is expected to be enacted. France is reported to be reviving a 2007 proposal. Israel, Korea, and Germany created class action rights within the last two years. Even the European Commission issued a “green paper” regarding private enforcement actions in the competition area.

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.”
