In the past few years, there have been headline-grabbing government investigations of foreign companies in the European Union (EU) and China. A number of these investigations relate to anti-trust, anti-bribery and corruption matters. It is critical for the legal departments of companies operating in the EU and China to be prepared for these sorts of investigations, ensuring that the business can react quickly and deal successfully with the government inquiry at a very tense and stressful time. The panel will look at the reasons for government investigations in the EU and China, what in-house counsel need to do to prepare their companies for the possibility of a government investigation (including the dreaded dawn raid) and provide practical tips for dealing with government investigations in the EU and China.

The liberalization of China’s distribution sector in recent years has opened a new range of choices for companies that are looking to sell their goods in China. No longer are companies required to use an uncoordinated network of domestic wholesalers. Firms now have the option to distribute products in China using international and Hong Kong-based logistics businesses, one of the many new domestic distributors in China, or to go at it alone. This interactive presentation will explore the significant issues in distribution and agency arrangements in China and Pacific Rim countries, and give you the information, tips and tactics you will need in order to advise your sales and marketing teams on effective strategies to address the complex legal and cultural issues raised by these types of arrangements.
