Within the next 12 to 18 months, it is anticipated that all 50 states will enact the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) 2022 Amendments, including the new UCC Article 12. The UCC 2022 Amendments introduce significant changes and additions to the existing framework. Specifically, they establish: (a) A new asset category called "Controllable Electronic Record" (CER), which includes digital assets with specific characteristics such as cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin and Ether), NFTs, stablecoins, and others. (b) Rules designed to protect good faith “purchasers" of CERs, enabling them to acquire these assets free from competing property claims. (c) An exhaustive regime to create and perfect security interest in CERs and asset-specific priority rules. In addition, the UCC 2022 Amendments introduce new rules aimed at simplifying the commercial use of electronic documents of title, electronic chattel paper, and electronic negotiable instruments. These reforms are of great importance as they impact the private law regime for the buying and selling of digital assets, as well as their use as collateral. This program will focus on highlighting some of the key changes that are particularly relevant to in-house counsel.

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
