Join your ACC colleagues and Howard Schwartz, partner with DLA Piper, at McCormick & Schmick's, at 711 Eastern Avenue, at noon on June 7th, for a talk on the pharma industry- Why are prices so high, really? Should there be price regulation? Do the pharma companies make too much money? And, in general, how do business and regulatory environments and actions affect your practice? And a final word on the Elon Musk Twitter saga (in follow-up to last year's presentation!) 

This webinar will cover many of the creative ways threat actors use to attack and compromise an organization’s security systems;

the regulatory environment impacting businesses who have experienced an attack;

the steps businesses and their corporate counsel can proactively take to protect their own assets and those of their client;

and how The Constangy Cyber team is positioned to support organizations through each step.

According to a recent survey from the Society for Human Resource Management, the share of employers offering paid parental leave beyond what is required by law dropped to 35% in 2022, down from 53% in 2020. In contrast, studies also show that parental leave benefits are crucial to recruiting and retaining employees and can contribute to increased employee morale and well-being.

As companies strive to be competitive in what continues to be a challenging labor market, they should review the parental leave benefits offered, the required procedures for implementing such policies, and managers' understanding of how to support employees in conjunction with such policies.

Attendees will learn:

· Overview of the patchwork of state and federal laws covering pregnancy and parental rights

· Best practices and practical tips for employers regarding pregnancy and parental leave

· Common challenges pregnant employees and new parents face in the workplace and possible solutions


Speakers:

Bryn Goodman, Partner, Fox Rothschild LLP

Jeanne Silberman, Director of HR; Deputy General Counsel, Ogden CAP Properties, LLC

Melissa Stannard, Director and Counsel, Credit Suisse

The current FTC enforcement landscape is more aggressive than ever under the leadership of Chair Lina Khan. In an attempt to crack down on corporate power, the agency is targeting and challenging merger activity by issuing second requests and filing merger enforcement actions in cases that would have received little scrutiny under past administrations. In this environment, it has become important to comprehend the evolving landscape of merger regulations and review current M&A strategies.

We cordially invite you to a discussion where we will delve into our first-hand experience at trial against the FTC in its attempt to push the envelope in one such case—the effort to preliminarily enjoin Meta Platform’s acquisition of Within Unlimited, Inc. During this presentation, we will also scrutinize the repercussions of the FTC's loss in this case for the broader M&A landscape. Furthermore, we aim to equip participants with robust strategies to navigate transactions in the current dynamic M&A environment. This event represents a unique opportunity to glean strategic insights and enhance your understanding of the contemporary regulatory landscape.

Presented by Michael Moiseyev and Eric Hochstadt, Antitrust Partners at Weil and Barbara Blank, Director & Associate General Counsel, Competition & Regulatory at Meta Platforms.

1.5 Hours of VA MCLE pending.
