If your company is doing business outside the United States, you need to attend this session to be brought up-to-date on all applicable privacy laws. Many global organizations have had to change the way they handle personal information and privacy issues. Personal data that used to be considered public and obvious has since become a sensitive issue, both from a legal and PR perspective, and applicable laws are now being enforced with more rigor.

The worldwide financial crisis has affected more than just stock markets and the economies of individual countries. It has significantly impacted where and how companies operate and make decisions about Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), particularly in Asia. This session will be conducted as a roundtable discussion of experts who have first-hand experiences in the region. They will discuss the short and long-term effects of the crisis on FDI. The roundtable will also highlight the risks and opportunities that now exist in China, India, Southeast Asia, Russia, Japan and Korea.

Gone global? More and more companies are stretching their operations across the world; in-house employment lawyers can no longer afford to be experts only in US employment law. Instead, those who work for multinational companies must be able to manage complex multijurisdictional human resources projects, as well as employment issues arising in many countries simultaneously. This panel will address some of the key challenges such as managing global reductions in force, and provide advice on best practices.

A presentation that compares negotiation styles from around the world.

The global expansion of criminal risk for international companies and their executives progresses with lightning speed: some countries are setting even more stringent standards than in the US. Cooperation between international agencies is growing.

Given the high financial and reputational damage that criminal liability causes, in–house counsel need to understand the risks that their global companies and executives face.

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.
