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

 WEBINAR

When Deals and Disputes are Different:
Contract Planning & Best Practices

 

Thursday, November 16, 2023
11:00am to Noon (MST)

 

REGISTER NOW

No charge to attend Webinar.

One (1) CLE Credit Pending.

Focusing on the areas of mergers and acquisitions, technology/licensing agreements, and real estate/leasing, our expert panel of transactional attorneys will discuss various key provisions in these different types of contracts and how to avoid or mitigate the risks of future disputes and litigation. With a seasoned commercial litigator as moderator, each panelist will identify specific contract provisions in their area of expertise that are often ripe for future disputes, and offer practical, deal-tested examples of effective contract language to mitigate those risks and put your client in the best position to retain the benefits of the contractual bargain in the event of any future dispute. Questions for discussion will include:

  • What to consider when structuring working capital adjustment provisions in acquisition agreements?
  • How to allocate data breach liability in Software as a Service (SaaS) contracts?
  • Why is due diligence process so important in real estate transactions?
  • And, much more!

In each case, consideration will be given to how the business goals of the transaction can sometimes conflict with mitigation of litigation risk, and how to balance both important objectives. At the end of the presentation, the panelists will be available for questions from attendees.
