GDPR: The State of Readiness 18 Months Later

December 3, 2019 | 08:00 AM - 10:30 AM | EACCNY Offices

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years. The regulation fundamentally reshapes the way in which data is handled across every sector, from healthcare to banking and beyond.

Our panel will discuss the state of implementation and how GDPR is stacking up to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) here in the US..

This panel session will explore:

Looking backward: the impact of GDPR

How have American companies been implementing GDPR? What internal steps have been taken?
What are the pain points (data access requests? DPO? Accountability/privacy by design?) How are these being managed? What are the resource implications? What are the key risk exposures?
How has GDPR affected M&A and deal making? Is it causing "indigestion" when less mature companies are bought and integration is attempted? How are GDPR risks being dealt with during due diligence and negotiations?
How has GDPR affected sales and marketing initiatives, on both sides of the Atlantic?
What have regulators been doing? What enforcement actions have been threatened and taken?

Looking forward: toward CCPA

If a company is already complying with GDPR does the CCPA really present any new challenges?
What questions remain unanswered, or what significant ambiguities still remain under the CCPA?
Do "exemptions" in the CCPA for health care, financial services and non-profit corporations mean that the new law is of no consequence to those sectors?
What other possible state or federal privacy laws mirror or differ from the requirements of the CCPA?
Does the lack of an express private right of action in the CCPA mean that companies cannot be sued under the new law?

Are any of these new privacy risks insurable?

We wish Andrea van der Grinten, our interim Director Programs and Communication, farewell.

Andrea had joined the European American Chamber of Commerce New York Chapter in August 2019 on a consulting bases and she worked with enthusiasm and dedication on marketing and planning a wide range of educational seminars EACCNY had on its Fall calendar of 2019.

In mid November Andrea received an offer she could not refuse by the Netherlands Consulate General in Chicago to join them as a Senior Economic Policy Officer. In her new role she will remain in close contact with the EACCNY and the local Chapter(s) in the American Midwest.

In Chicago, Andrea will participate in and contribute to the development and implementation of the Dutch economic policy agenda in the Midwest in general and of the annual economic work plan of the Consulate General in particular. Her main task is to support Dutch companies that are active in the jurisdiction or that desire to become active with doing business in the Midwest. She will take part in identifying important players and hubs; developing policies at strategic and tactical level and strengthening the relevant local and Dutch networks.

Her key priority areas are advanced manufacturing, smart mobility, smart cities and bio-based economy as well as the application of emerging technologies like AI, IoT, big data and others.

The geographic jurisdiction of the mission in Chicago extends to the 13 states of the Midwest. The Consulate is led by Consul General Louis Piët and Deputy Consul General Bianca Oudshoff. In 2020 the Dutch Consulate General in Chicago will celebrate its 150th year of existence. Stay tuned for interesting and compelling activities around this impressive milestone!

NEW EACC WEBINAR SERIES ON YOUTUBE

The EACC is excited to announce its upcoming YouTube channel. In our ongoing effort to offer value for our members across the EACC network, the EACC Chapters have come together to launch a new series of ‘webinars’ on a range of topics of interest and relevance.

We, so far have held two webinars. The first featured speakers from the EU Delegation to the United States sharing their 2020 Economic Forecast, and the second featured an expert from the European Council on Foreign Relations and his research on how European Countries are rethinking the balance between their ability to act as sovereign nations and their need to act together as a single bloc.

To showcase these new programs we have also launched a new YouTube Channel to archive recordings of our webinars (and other content as it becomes available). We invite you to check out these two and upcoming webinars in case you missed them.

We’re very excited about this tool, both as a way to bring content to you but also as a way to get content and information from you out to the broader EACC network. So we encourage you to let us know what topics and speakers may be of interest, as well as to offer suggestions for content that we can provide from the EACC!

Last Chance! Managing Discovery in

Complex Construction Arbitration

January 30, 2020 | 8:00 AM - 10:30 AM | EACC Offices

Discovery can be one of the more painful parts of any alternative dispute-resolution process. Perceived as both time consuming and expensive, parties routinely look for ways to limit discovery and manage the process as efficiently as possible.

This panel will explore ways that parties can achieve this objective in the context of complex construction disputes. It will explore the differing principles guiding US domestic arbitration and international arbitration and examine how those principles shape the discovery processes. In addition, the panel will look at various ways that parties can draft their construction contracts to more effectively manage the discovery process in the event a dispute arises.

In particular, the panel will explore:

Fundamental differences between US discovery and discovery in international arbitration
What discovery is really needed in constriction disputes
The role that local laws, arbitral institutions, and arbitrators play in shaping the scope of discovery
How to control Third-Party Discovery
Key contractual provisions that can be used to control discovery
Practical strategies for controlling discovery once a dispute arises

If you are dealing with construction litigation and arbitration this is an event not to miss.

RSVP now before all seats are taken!

MPC (My Personal Care) Consultants helps

patients and their families navigate the complex

worlds of care and treatment, enhancing the patient-doctor relationship. MPC Consultants was founded by E. Steven Lenger, M.D., a board-certified internist and

gastroenterologist with more than 30 years of experience in hospital and private practice. As such, he has had the unique opportunity to see the drastic changes the medical field has undergone, and how it continues to evolve. The healthcare industry has inherent deficiencies and those issues cannot be fixed within the current system, but instead must be supplemented by other services. The inevitable digitization of the field, the increased demands on physicians, and the excess of esoteric information, has put a great strain on patients who, at their most vulnerable moments are, at best, overwhelmed, and at worst, putting off dealing with their most important asset, their health. MPC bridges the gap between patient and doctor, streamlining and simplifying the fraught process of managing your health, to the benefit of all.

EACC WEBINAR:
How to do Business in the Age of Disinformation:

Is Freedom of Speech on Social Media
a Blessing or a Curse?

March 4, 2020 | 10:00 AM EST | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

The Digital Revolution is bringing sweeping change to all aspects of life and politics, impacting our everyday lives at a much faster pace than other revolutionary innovations in the past. Governments are responding to these changes, but there remains a consistent gap between technologists and business on the one side and lawmakers, and the different divisions of governments on the other side. In this power vacuum, technology is increasingly being misused as a vehicle for criminal activities or to host harmful or illegal content, including large-scale online manipulation and disinformation with profoundly corrosive effects on trust, consensus and democracy itself. This poses an enormous new challenge for the transatlantic relationship. The latter also being effected by the emergence of China as a disinformation actor with a global narrative is changing the information landscape

In this spiral of mistrust, companies are not exempt from the pernicious effects of disinformation and have a fundamental role to play in combating the economic and security threats disinformation campaigns present. There is a need to develop common rules for governing the internet, and private sector actors are crucial for improving trust, security and stability online. It is only through their collaboration with civil society and governments that the integrity of the Internet can be protected, and the malign influence of state or state-backed actors from authoritarian countries be curtailed.

Based on the analysis of such salient topics such as free dataflow, cybersecurity, safeguarding the European and U.S. elections this webinar will discuss disinformation actors and how their activities can affect companies.

To explore these issues, this EACC Chapter wide webinar will be led by Dr. Janka Oertel, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations in conversation with Vint Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, GOOGLE.

SPEAKERS:

Vint Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, GOOGLE

Can't choose your color! Pink Tax: What is it and why are YOU paying it?

Many studies conducted over the past several years have concluded that on average, the costs of goods and services marketed to females at the retail level are higher than costs of equivalent goods and services marketed to males. There are no good reasons for haircuts, dry-cleaning, razors, bicycles, or clothing to cost more for women than for men!

Transatlantic Economic Outlook

in the Post-Brexit World

February 27, 2020 | 8:00 - 10:30 AM | ING Offices

Join us for a look ahead for 2020 & beyond on the transatlantic economy.

Expect an engaging discussion about the relationship and inter-connectivity between the European Union and the US economies and their influence on the worldwide financial markets. The discussion will feature a forward looking conversation about the outlook on international growth, investment opportunities & risks, and the impact of government action.

Our economists will share insights on the expected Brexit fall-out (if any) for the European economy, what it means for U.S. companies, and how the future of the EU will look like without Britain (including the effect on the U.S. British relationship, and of course, what the British EU relationship may look like going forward). Our economists will also share their expectations for the U.S. outlook, including prospects for growth and the potential for a new trade war front in Europe.

Join us and hear about key Global Trade, Investment and Economic trends and what they mean for U.S. and European Companies.

The Digital Revolution is bringing sweeping change to all aspects of life and politics, impacting our everyday lives at a much faster pace than revolutionary innovations in the past.

Can't choose your color! Pink Tax:

What is it and why are YOU paying it?

March 10, 2020 | 5:30 - 8:00 PM | Flanders House

Many studies conducted over the past several years have concluded that on average, the costs of goods and services marketed to females at the retail level are higher than costs of equivalent goods and services marketed to males. There are no good reasons for haircuts, dry-cleaning, razors, bicycles, or clothing to cost more for women than for men!

On the consumer products front, in 2015, the NYC Department of Consumer Affairs undertook a comprehensive study in the New York metro region and issued a detailed report finding that products marketed to women are, on average, 7% more expensive than substantially similar products marketed to men. This is not new: In 1996, the State of California undertook a study which found that 64% of the stores in five major California cities charged more to dry clean a woman's blouse compared to a man's button-up shirt.

Other studies and investigations undertaken by universities, media organizations and governmental bodies have repeatedly demonstrated that razors, dry cleaning, clothes, haircuts, toys, as well as other goods and services marketed by gender, routinely cost more for females than males.And the issue is not just an American one either. The Pink Tax phenomenon has been identified in Europe, the Middle East, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere.

This panel will discuss what opponents and proponents are arguing and what can or should be done to address this fascination issue.

US Tax Reform 2017 - A 2020 Update

March 26, 2020 | 8:00 - 10:30 AM | EACCNY Offices

The effects of the 2017 U.S. tax reform are beginning to show in cross border structures. Given that the U.S. now has a nearly full inclusion system, albeit at a lower rate, for industries that are light on bricks and mortar, what are companies doing with their IP? From an inbound perspective, given the U.S. minimum tax known as the BEAT, are companies restructuring their inter-company arrangements? And, for funds, what havoc is the new U.S. withholding tax on transferors of partnerships interests causing in the market place?

Our panel will have an interactive discussion of the new U.S. rules and the impact they are having on companies that engage in transatlantic business.

Managing Discovery in

Complex Construction Arbitration

January 30, 2020 | 8:00 AM - 10:30 AM | EACC Offices

Discovery can be one of the more painful parts of any alternative dispute-resolution process. Perceived as both time consuming and expensive, parties routinely look for ways to limit discovery and manage the process as efficiently as possible.

This panel will explore ways that parties can achieve this objective in the context of complex construction disputes. It will explore the differing principles guiding US domestic arbitration and international arbitration and examine how those principles shape the discovery processes. In addition, the panel will look at various ways that parties can draft their construction contracts to more effectively manage the discovery process in the event a dispute arises.

In particular, the panel will explore:

Fundamental differences between US discovery and discovery in international arbitration
What discovery is really needed in constriction disputes
The role that local laws, arbitral institutions, and arbitrators play in shaping the scope of discovery
How to control Third-Party Discovery
Key contractual provisions that can be used to control discovery
Practical strategies for controlling discovery once a dispute arises

If you are dealing with construction litigation and arbitration this is an event not to miss.

RSVP now before all seats are taken!

PANELISTS:

Ira Schulman, Partner, PEPPER HAMILTON
Chris Ryan, Partner, International Arbitration practice, SHEARMAN & STERLING

EACC WEBINAR:

A Different Business Culture:

Optimize Your Career and Your Business in the U.S.

April 2, 2020 | 10:00 AM EST | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

Join us for this information packed webinar on how to ensure that your employees, and with them your brand, feel at home in a new market.

One million dollars - That is what it costs to initiate a corporate relocation for a single employee today. If you want to launch and market your brand in a new country, the costs can well exceed that. Getting it right depends on many factors, among them how well your employees communicate in a unfamiliar environment and how they are perceived by their business partners and clients.

Whether you are about to send an employee into the fray of developing international business or you are a multinational executive launching your brand into a new market for the first time, this is the webinar for you.

Cameron Heffernan is Director of North America for Mach Media, a full-service agency that creates effective marketing and communications strategies for multinational companies, and Dr. Justin Velten, Co-Founder and CEO of Go Culture International, a scalable solution for expat assessment and relocation prep, are teaming up to share insights and ideas you can implement right away.

Common relocation missteps put the expat failure rate at 50%. This session will reveal best practices to optimize the chances for expats. We'll also explore how to steer away from global brand "fails" in new markets that can put companies in the news for the wrong reasons.

Europe and the U.S. are both "western culture", and "first world" based on many superficial similarities, but there are actually some important underlying differences between the two. Learn how to avoid awkward, even unprofessional, interactions while working as a foreigner in the U.S. Our communication and coaching experts will share how to effectively collaborate and connect with Americans when doing business in the U.S.

Learning Outcomes

Over Here: Cultural Translation
● Avoiding "Copy/Paste" localization
● Recreating Your European Brand Story for a US Market
● What's Working and What Isn't (Measurement and KPIs)

Ensuring Employee Success Abroad in 2020
● Frequent Flyers: Early Career and Rerun Expats
● Personal Touch without Personal Interaction
● Help Beyond a Google Search

If you are a foreigner doing business in the U.S. and if you feel you don't exactly know how to gauge the actions, feelings, or intentions of Americans, this webinar is for you.

EACCNY Brexit Musings

For this initiative, the EACCNY asked members from across various industries to ''muse'' about the now imminent Brexit.

The idea for these insights was to mentally play through different scenarios - a comprehensive deal, or a crash out at the end of 2020 - on a few select business issues that will be effected by Brexit, and to outline the consequences each possible outcome could have.

Immigration and Mobility of UK & EU Nationals.

Gavin Jones and Vinciane Rysselink from OSBORNE CLARKE, discuss how Brexit impacts UK/EU nationals and US firms with UK/EU offices. Focusing on immigration / mobility, and why and how UK/EU nationals should secure their residence, and why that is important.

Data Transfers, Privacy, Protection & GDPR.

Giulio Novellini, Counsel from PORTOLANO CAVALLO discusses the possible implications on the data transfer, privacy and protection sphere in Europe, the UK, and also the farther-reaching United States.

Immigration Update - Visa Options for Europeans and Canadians in the Age of COVID-19 & in the Light of Recent Developments

July 22, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

As of April 22, a temporarily halt of all immigration known as the "COVID-19 proclamation" came into effect; suspending all routine visa services at U.S. embassies and consulates. This measure, in addition to the many changes to the U.S. immigration system ordered by the current U.S. administration in 2019, has had a significant impact on the lives of millions of immigrants living legally in the United States.

Immigration Reform (2019) was designed to slow legal immigration and to strengthen the Department of Homeland Security''s ability to enforce immigration laws, create obstacles in the immigration process for some, and streamline the path to obtain immigration benefits for others. Some of these changes are taking effect in 2020, and even more changes may be on the horizon.

Join our panel for an update on U.S. immigration and how it may affect you and your business or your ability to conduct business in the United States.

Data Protection: California''s CCPA and the EU''s GDPR: What U.S. and European Companies Need to Know, Especially as Companies and Their Staff go "Virtual" for an Indefinite Amount of Time

March 24, 2020 | 11:00 AM EDT | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

Do you have data protection concerns? Does the CCPA apply to you? How does it differ from the GDPR, the EU''s data protection regime? Can you prepare for both at the same time? Do "exemptions" in the CCPA for healthcare, financial services, and non-profit corporations mean that the new law is of no consequence in these sectors? Are there other state laws which mirror or differ from the requirements of the CCPA or the GDPR?

If you are a European company doing business in the United States with offices here or any company with questions about these data protection regimes, this Webinar is for you! It will offer an introduction into the new California Consumer Privacy Act, how it impacts European and US companies doing business in the United States, what similarities / differences exist with the EU''s General Data Protection Regulation and more. In fact, as we all "go virtual" for an indefinite amount of time, understanding these two regimes might become more important than ever!

The EU Response to the COVID-19 Outbreak: From Managing the Emergency to Relaunching the Economy

May 6, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM EDT | Online Webinar

Join us in a conversation with Elena Flores, Director for International Economic and Financial Relations and Global Governance at the European Commission, to discuss the economic impact of COVID-19, EU Member States'' and EU institutions'' policy response and how Europe is planning to restart economic growth and turn the page on the pandemic.

European governments have taken draconian though necessary measures to stop the spread of the corona-virus pandemic. Lock-down and social distancing have put the economy in what can be best described as a pharmacological-induced coma.

EU Member States and EU Institutions have taken swift actions to bolster the healthcare sector''s response capacity while providing businesses and workers with the necessary lifeblood to bridge the shutdown. As Europe progressively start re-opening its economy, it is time to assess the effectiveness of the measures taken, but also look ahead and see how best the EU can ensure that the wounds of the pandemic do not translate into long-lasting scars.

This webinar is funded by:

Presented by Elena Flores, Director, International Economic and Financial Relations and Global Governance, Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs, EUROPEAN COMMISSION in conversation with Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild, Executive Director, EUROPEAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEW YORK.

The U.S. Wayfair Decision Webinar is on June 10

(and not June 4 as stated is this morning''s e-mail)

LAST CHANCE! The U.S. Wayfair Decision:

Untangling the Web of U.S. Sales Tax and What European Businesses Need to Know

June 10, 2020 | 10:00 AM EST / 4:00 PM CET

In this current pandemic, more and more businesses transactions are being taken online. When selling goods or services into the United States, you may have to collect sales tax for that transaction in each state your client resides.

No longer do you need to have a physical presence - or "nexus" - in the U.S. to be sales tax obligatory. It all started with the U.S. Supreme Court decision South Dakota v. Wayfair on June 21, 2018. The so called Wayfair Decision allows states to mandate that businesses with more than 200 transactions or $100,000 in-state sales, collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state, whether the business has a physical presence in the state or not. The new law rather allows the state to tax businesses based on the customer''s location and the amount of sales, not the location of the business.

Many states followed South Dakota, resulting in a collection of similar but at the same time wildly varying tax laws apply and doing business in the U.S. all of a sudden feels like doing business in "50 different countries".

Topics to be addressed in this webinar:
● What EU exporters selling into the U.S. need to know about inter-state sales tax?
● Who is subject to Wayfair Tax and what level of activity is required to subject a company to sales/use tax?
● How is this being enforced and how does the future look like?
● What Types of Transactions are being taxed and how do U.S. States differentiate?
● Are there any issues Specific to European Companies?
● What you need to know about the details (who is subject to the tax, Filing and Remittance, concrete responsibilities, penalties, red flags?
● What rights do businesses have state by state?
● What is the impact of Brexit?
● What you need to know to plan ahead?

This EACC Chapter wide webinar will explain what the U.S. Wayfair Decision means for European businesses in the United States and how the legislation affects businesses across the country.

SPEAKERS:

● Betsy Gillon, Managing Member, GILLON TAX
● Jared Johnson, Principal, OFFIT KURMAN

TIME	LOCATION	REGISTRATION FEE
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: EST 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM: CET	Webinar via Zoom	EACC Members: Free EACC non-Members: Free

Navigating the Recovery: How Europe is Coming out Stronger from the Pandemic

September 9, 2020 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT | Online Webinar

The road to recovery remains beset with challenges, but Europe will come out stronger from the pandemic recession.

The long shutdown was a high, but necessary price to pay to slow down the progression of the pandemic. Despite recent signs of resurgence, Europe overall has been fairly successful in flattening the curve of contagions. The unprecedented output contraction has left many EU economies struggling with high fiscal needs and the perspective of sluggish growth. To facilitate a more even recovery, EU leaders have agreed on an unprecedented EU-level policy response, which despite its temporary nature may carry the seed of a stronger fiscal union.

Join top EU economists in Washington, D.C. as they discuss the outlook for the European economy, the key measures taken by the European Union, and some of the risks facing the economic recovery. The presentation will include a detailed look at the European Commission''s Summer Economic Forecast, discuss the details of the historic agreement Recovery Plan and other policy measures put forward by the European Commission and the European Central Bank.

The program will offer an opportunity for Q&A.

SPEAKERS:

● Kris Orsini, Counselor for Economic & Financial Affairs, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES

● Ben Carliner, Senior Economist, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES

● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild, Executive Director, EUROPEAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEW YORK [Moderator]

EACCNY Brexit Musings

For this initiative, the EACCNY asked members from across various industries to ''muse'' about the now imminent Brexit.

The idea for these insights was to mentally play through different scenarios - a comprehensive deal, or a crash out at the end of 2020 - on a few select business issues that will be effected by Brexit, and to outline the consequences each possible outcome could have.

Diving into Brexit.

Marc Chandler, Managing Director & Chief Markets Strategist at

BANNOCKBURN GLOBAL FOREX and

Kathleen Hays, Global Economics and Policy Editor for

BLOOMBERG TV & RADIO focus on the far-reaching implications of Brexit on the sterling and Foreign Exchange Market.

Time to get real - a practical guide to Brexit.

Sally Jones, EY''s Brexit and Trade Strategy Lead and

Adam Fraser, the Business Development leader for

EY''s Brexit team take you through the ten key Brexit domains and set out some of the operational actions every business that trades in or with the UK needs to take.

What are the legal FDI implications of COVID-19 in Europe and the U.S.

September 24, 2020 | 11:00 AM EDT / 5:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

COVID-19 has not only significantly slowed down social life, but economies as well. All over the world, authorities have to balance between protecting their nation''s economies and stimulating recovery, while still allowing for collaboration and cross-border trade and investments. The Foreign Direct Investment regulations in Europe are seeing exemptions in certain forms of cooperation, allowing state aids under certain conditions, but also increased restrictions in acquisitions to avoid ailing firms to fall into foreign hands.

In the U.S., COVID-19 has affected and will continue to affect examinations of foreign investment into the United States by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In particular, the pandemic may lead to additional scrutiny of foreign investments in the U.S. health, biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. In addition, debt restructuring transactions and opportunities to invest in distressed assets will probably be on the rise. Both foreign investors and lenders should assess if these transactions may be within the jurisdiction of CFIUS and, if so, whether a filing must or should be made.

Our panel will discuss:
● Overview of the various rules related to FDI [EU] and CFIUS [U.S.]
● Recent COVID-19 related changes
   - Expanding the list of relevant sectors
   - Including acquisitions in sectors other than Defense and Security (EU)
   - Expanding the list of notifiable transactions
● Interactions with EU Regulation on FDI

SPEAKERS:

● Francesco Maria Salerno, Partner, GIANNI, ORIGONI, GRIPPO, CAPPELLI & PARTNERS
● Jeanine McGuinness, Partner, ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP
● Jonathan Shames, Global Client Service Partner, PE & Geostrategic Business Group, EY [Moderator]

Managing Cross Border Investigations

during a Pandemic

October 7, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

As Europe and the U.S. are working their way through the COVID-19 pandemic the lingering shutdowns have had a significant and in some cases crippling impact on cross-border investigations. Our experts from both sides of the Atlantic will discuss what has changed, and how to address some of the challenges your investigations may face.

This program will discuss:
● Recent developments in the EU, incl. the Shrems II ruling on privacy shield and its effects on data management, a new bill in German courts and anti-corruption measures in Italy.
● How the pandemic has created new techniques to prepare for and manage cross-border investigations, incl. how travel restrictions effect witness interviews and how to remedy that challenge.
● The emergence of new technological solutions, which often include new technologies, come with their own, new, and unique challenges

This is a program not to be missed, you will leave with new ideas and a better understanding of how to take your investigation abroad.

SPEAKERS:

● Jonathan Halpern, Partner, HOLLAND & KNIGHT
● Ilaria Curti, Counsel, PORTOLANO CAVALLO
● B?rbel Sachs, Partner, NOERR

Data Protection: California''s CCPA and the EU''s GDPR: What U.S. and European Companies Need to Know, Especially as Companies and Their Staff go "Virtual" for an Indefinite Amount of Time

March 24, 2020 | 11:00 AM EDT | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

Do you have data protection concerns? Does the CCPA apply to you? How does it differ from the GDPR, the EU''s data protection regime? Can you prepare for both at the same time? Do "exemptions" in the CCPA for healthcare, financial services, and non-profit corporations mean that the new law is of no consequence in these sectors? Are there other state laws which mirror or differ from the requirements of the CCPA or the GDPR?

If you are a European company doing business in the United States with offices here or any company with questions about these data protection regimes, this Webinar is for you! It will offer an introduction into the new California Consumer Privacy Act, how it impacts European and US companies doing business in the United States, what similarities / differences exist with the EU''s General Data Protection Regulation and more. In fact, as we all "go virtual" for an indefinite amount of time, understanding these two regimes might become more important than ever!

Cyber Security Threat Management During a Global Disruption like the COVID-19 Pandemic

July 7, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

In today''s increasingly digitized world and with the economy, and the way we work being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic cyber threats are on the rise. Now that nearly all firms are working 100% remotely, hackers have gotten creative once again. Aside from the inability to adequately monitor VPN access points and usage of equipment, the fear and distraction due to the virus and the lock-down measures, create a perfect backdoor into computer systems.

Companies need to be better prepared and deploy more sophisticated strategies and solutions to protect their business now and to consistently analyze if their systems were intruded for a later attack. This program brings together Cyber Security experts and practitioners from the U.S. and Europe to address:

Evolving Threats - Foreign and Domestic

● Adversaries are growing in number and ability, with new technologies that will enable new security risks
● COVID-19 will result in a permanent increase in the remote workforce, heightening exploitable and systemic vulnerabilities

● Businesses face the challenge of securing systems in a worldwide workforce that is characterized by remote access points and distractions

Legal Exposure - Cyber-Regulations in the EU & U.S. - What''s New?

Breach Prevention and Management
● What companies on both sides of the Atlantic should understand to mitigate attacks
● How to manage a cyber-breach crisis

Solutions - Internal Preparedness and Surviving the Threat
● Keep IT & Cybersecurity teams (and 3rd party contractors) informed and engaged
● Ensure employees do not walk off with the keys to the system
● Implement practices to avoid inadvertent disclosures
● Implement technological solutions - new technologies and better cyber hygiene practices
● Establish a system for International Coordination

The Unconscious Bias of Voice and Accent

September 15, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

When you think of leaders and speakers you admire what kind of voice comes to mind? Our communication styles and voice are such a big part of who we are and how we show up in the world. Yet, not all voices are treated equally. Now more than ever our voices are being analyzed, whether during a presentation, on video calls or even through computer algorithms.

Our panel will share their professional and personal stories and cover the following topics:

● What information does a voice give you?

● How do you perceive your own voice?

● Should you change your voice to lead?

● How do perceived speaking styles affect earnings?

● Technology and how algorithms are assessing us

● Accents and Media

Join us for an interactive discussion, where we will explore what people think of as the "voice of leadership" and begin to understand some of the biases that can develop as we listen to different voices, speech patterns, communication styles, and accents. What might trigger those biases and why is it important for us to challenge ourselves to change our own perceptions?

SPEAKERS:

● Lisa Patti, Founder and CEO, ACCENTC3

● James Walker, Partner, RICHARDS KIBBE ORBE

● Elizabeth van Schilfgaarde, Partner, NAUTADUTILH [Chair/Moderator]

Upcoming EACC Webinars

September 9, 2020 Register here	Navigating the Recovery: How Europe is Coming out Stronger from the Pandemic The road to recovery remains beset with challenges, but Europe will come out stronger from the pandemic recession. The long shutdown was a high, but necessary price to pay to slow down the progression of the pandemic. Despite recent signs of resurgence, Europe overall has been fairly successful in flattening the curve of contagions. The unprecedented output contraction has left many EU economies struggling with high fiscal needs and the perspective of sluggish growth. To facilitate a more even recovery, EU leaders have agreed on an unprecedented EU-level policy response, which despite its temporary nature may carry the seed of a stronger fiscal union. Join top EU economists in Washington, D.C. as they discuss the outlook for the European economy, the key measures taken by the European Union, and some of the risks facing the economic recovery. The presentation will include a detailed look at the European Commission''s Summer Economic Forecast, discuss the details of the historic agreement Recovery Plan and other policy measures put forward by the European Commission and the European Central Bank.
September 29, 2020 Register here	COVID-19, a hard look back & the look ahead: Lessons learned and what needs to change to be more resilient for the next pandemic Join us for a webinar on lessons learned for the current pandemic. Our panelists will cover the following issues: ● From an economic standpoint: which measures have worked and which ones did not and how can we address the ones that did not work ● Getting back to work: how did different countries/states tackle this issue and how did they fare ● What structural changes need to be put into place to manage the next pandemic/major crises (health or otherwise) ● How did COVID-19 affect us as societies (EU & US)
October 28, 2020 Register here	Trust & Estate and Investment Planning and US Tax for Multi-Nationals; Citizens, Residents, and Non-resident Aliens Our panel will cover topics such as: Pre-Immigration Tax Planning; U.S. Income tax issues for U.S. non-citizen/non-residents; Expatriation Planning; Income, Gift, & Estate Planning; U.S. Exit Tax Rules and more. Also attend this webinar to get hands-on advice on non-tax related issues relevant for non-resident non- citizens coming to the U.S., such as: Personal Property Planning, Family Related Issues like foreign Wills and Minor Children, and Probate and Court Issues.

Will Return to Work take us Back or to the Future?

July 16, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

What to expect and how to prepare for Return to Work? Businesses are beginning to re-open, but there is no one-size-fits-all strategy plan on how to do this. How do you implement various guidelines and how do they anticipate on what comes next when so much remains unknown?

We are bringing together experts from Europe and the U.S. to offer an in-depth comparison of guidelines and best practices for labor and employment law on both sides of the Atlantic.

The EU perspective:
● Why bother at all? What are the risk factors employers need to consider, among them Liability, Reputational damage, Duty of Care, Productivity issues
● Before we get back: Deployment of Health Questionnaire, Temperature Measurements, Possible privacy & discrimination issues
● Office Internal Issues: Workplace Structure hours & office layout, equipment, sanitation around common use areas, Personal protection precautions for Employees
● External Issues: Business Trips & Meetings, Ensuring Protective Distance incl. Access by Third Parties to the site
● What happens if someone gets sick: Preventive Occupational Health Care, Action in the Event of Suspected Cases, Involvement of Employee Representatives including Trainings and Audits

The U.S. perspective:
As U.S. employers begin to re-open workplaces, there are a number of considerations under U.S. laws as well:
● Compensation and leave issues
● Updating policies and agreements
● Work from home issues
● In-office safety requirements
● Employees who refuse to work
● Protecting employee privacy and other diversity and inclusion considerations
● Compliance issues created by reductions in workforce

A look ahead:
● Will labor and employment law change based on the experience with COVID-19?
● How can we better prepare for the next pandemic/lock-down

Immigration Update - Visa Options for Europeans and Canadians in the Age of COVID-19

July 22, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

As of April 22, a temporarily halt of all immigration known as the "COVID-19 proclamation" came into effect; suspending all routine visa services at U.S. embassies and consulates. This measure, in addition to the many changes to the U.S. immigration system ordered by the current U.S. administration in 2019, has had a significant impact on the lives of millions of immigrants living legally in the United States.

Immigration Reform (2019) was designed to slow legal immigration and to strengthen the Department of Homeland Security''s ability to enforce immigration laws, create obstacles in the immigration process for some, and streamline the path to obtain immigration benefits for others. Some of these changes are taking effect in 2020, and even more changes may be on the horizon.

Join our panel for an update on U.S. immigration and how it may affect you and your business or your ability to conduct business in the United States.

Due to the Coronavirus governments in many jurisdictions have implemented a range of temporary immigration-related measures in order to contain the spread of the virus:

● Entry or travel restrictions within Europe and the U.S. due to COVID-19

● Quarantine measures and additional health screening procedures

● Concessions in the EU due to the temporary closure of consular posts and visa application centers

● Recommendations regarding business trips in times of the coronavirus

From the European perspective:

● U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Department of State restrictions on visa adjudication and practical effect

● Current Processing timeframes and effect

- Proposed Changes in L & H visa issuance

- Green card processing and effect of Global economic downturn

- Can E visas be an alternative

- Work from home and visa constraints, including limitation on time frames allowed, labor condition application/posting notices for new hires, and travel restrictions

● The U.S. "Proclamation Suspending Entry of Immigrants Who Present Risk to the U.S. Labor Market During the Economic Recovery Following the COVID-19 Outbreak" issued on April 22, 2020

From the Canadian perspective:

● Travel restrictions to Canada and exceptions;

● Rules for people wanting to travel to Canada (e.g. documents to bring, quarantine upon arrival, etc.)

● Special administrative in place (e.g. incomplete files are not refused)

● Special measures in place for employers (e.g. possibility to lower the salary of foreign workers)

SPEAKERS:
● Francis Tourigny, Partner, EXEO ATTORNEYS
● Jorge R. Lopez, Shareholder | Chair, Global Mobility and Immigration Practice Group, LITTLER
● Gerlind Wisskirchen, Partner, CMS
● Additional panelist to be announced

How to do Business in the Age of Disinformation:

Is Freedom of Speech on Social Media
a Blessing or a Curse?

March 4, 2020 | 10:00 AM EST | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

The Digital Revolution is bringing sweeping change to all aspects of life and politics, impacting our everyday lives at a much faster pace than other revolutionary innovations in the past. Governments are responding to these changes, but there remains a consistent gap between technologists and business on the one side and lawmakers, and the different divisions of governments on the other side. In this power vacuum, technology is increasingly being misused as a vehicle for criminal activities or to host harmful or illegal content, including large-scale online manipulation and disinformation with profoundly corrosive effects on trust, consensus and democracy itself. This poses an enormous new challenge for the transatlantic relationship. The latter also being effected by the emergence of China as a disinformation actor with a global narrative is changing the information landscape

In this spiral of mistrust, companies are not exempt from the pernicious effects of disinformation and have a fundamental role to play in combating the economic and security threats disinformation campaigns present. There is a need to develop common rules for governing the internet, and private sector actors are crucial for improving trust, security and stability online. It is only through their collaboration with civil society and governments that the integrity of the Internet can be protected, and the malign influence of state or state-backed actors from authoritarian countries be curtailed.

Based on the analysis of such salient topics such as free dataflow, cybersecurity, safeguarding the European and U.S. elections this webinar will discuss disinformation actors and how their activities can affect companies.

To explore these issues, this EACC Chapter wide webinar will be led by Dr. Janka Oertel, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations in conversation with Vint Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, GOOGLE.

October 7, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

Recent Developments in internal & government investigations on both sides of the Atlantic:

● Developments in the EU, including the Schrems II ruling on privacy shield and its effects on data management; a new bill in German courts.

● The new anti-corruption provisions in Italy and case law on corporate criminal liability of foreign companies.

Practical considerations and effects on cross-border investigations on account of the COVID-19 pandemic: planning and preparedness:

● Legal & practical concerns on zoom (and other platforms) meetings.

● Witness Interviews (interviewing tactics/technology issues)

This is a program not to be missed! You will leave with a new understanding and appreciation of the emerging European-American dynamic for handling investigations that straddle the Atlantic.

EACCNY Brexit Musings

For this initiative, the EACCNY asked members from across various industries to ''muse'' about the now imminent Brexit.

The idea for these insights was to mentally play through different scenarios - a comprehensive deal, or a crash out at the end of 2020 - on a few select business issues that will be effected by Brexit, and to outline the consequences each possible outcome could have.

The issue of financial equivalence post-Brexit.

Isabel Verkes interviews Georges Ugeux, Chairman and CEO of GALILEO GLOBAL ADVISORS and adjunct professor at COLUMBIA LAW SCHOOL as he gives his views on what to expect from the financial sector post-Brexit.

Dissecting the Brexit Negotiations & U.S. Elections.

Alex Deane and Dr. Erica Elliott Richardson from FTI CONSULTING discuss where negotiations have currently got to and then muse on the ramifications that the US Elections have on Brexit.

The Unconscious Bias of Voice and Accent

September 15, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

When you think of leaders and speakers you admire what kind of voice comes to mind? Our communication styles and voice are such a big part of who we are and how we show up in the world. Yet, not all voices are treated equally. Now more than ever our voices are being analyzed, whether during a presentation, on video calls or even through computer algorithms.

Our panel will share their professional and personal stories and cover the following topics:

● What information does a voice give you?

● How do you perceive your own voice?

● Should you change your voice to lead?

● How do perceived speaking styles affect career opportunities?

● Technology and how algorithms are assessing us

● Accents and Media

Join us for an interactive discussion, where we will explore what people think of as the "voice of leadership" and begin to understand some of the biases that can develop as we listen to different voices, speech patterns, communication styles, and accents. What might trigger those biases and why is it important for us to challenge ourselves to change our own perceptions?

● James Walker, Partner, RICHARDS KIBBE ORBE

● Elizabeth van Schilfgaarde, Partner, NAUTADUTILH [Chair/Moderator]

What are the legal FDI implications of COVID-19 in Europe and the U.S.

September 24, 2020 | 11:00 AM EDT / 5:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

COVID-19 has not only significantly slowed down social life, but economies as well. All over the world, competition authorities have felt the need to temporarily adjust their regulations and tighten their scrutiny. They have to balance between protecting the nation''s economy and stimulating recovery, while still allowing for collaboration and cross-border trade and investments. The Foreign Direct Investment regulations in Europe are seeing exemptions in certain forms of cooperation, allowing state aids under certain conditions, but also increased restrictions in acquisitions to avoid ailing firms to fall into foreign hands.

In the U.S., COVID-19 has affected and will continue to affect examinations of foreign investment into the United States by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In particular, the pandemic may lead to additional scrutiny of foreign investments in the U.S. health, biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. In addition, debt restructuring transactions and opportunities to invest in distressed assets will probably be on the rise. Both foreign investors and lenders should assess if these transactions may be within the jurisdiction of CFIUS and, if so, whether a filing must or should be made.

Our panel will discuss:
● Overview of the various rules related to FDI [EU] and CFIUS [U.S.]
● Recent COVID-19 related changes
   - Expanding the list of relevant sectors
   - Including acquisitions in sectors other than Defense and Security (EU)
   - Expanding the list of notifiable transactions
● Interactions with EU Regulation on FDI

SPEAKERS:

● Francesco Maria Salerno, Partner, GIANNI, ORIGONI, GRIPPO, CAPPELLI & PARTNERS
● Jeanine McGuinness, Partner, ORRICK
● Jonathan Shames, Global Client Service Partner, PE & Geostrategic Business Group, EY [Moderator]

EACC WEBINAR:

Risk Management in a Pandemic: What to do Now?

April 22, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

COVID-19 has affected Commerce, Travel, and all Transatlantic Transactions for weeks. Without a clear picture on the end of this global pandemic and no guarantee that there won''t be a second or third wave, businesses must re-evaluate their management, their HR strategies and their supply chains and contracts.

Join us for an open dialog on how to navigate these times of uncertainty and crisis, followed by a member''s Q&A. We hope to provide guidance and awareness on trends for a path to recovery.

Our panel will share its insights on the following business topics:

Workforce Issues Companies are facing in a Pandemic

● Getting your workforce through a Pandemic - balancing economic survival and being a supportive employer

● The new reality of remote work security, sanity and childcare

● Sick leave and protection of employment in the US and EU

● How to prepare your staff for the aftermath

Risk Management related to Commercial Contracts

● Impossibility and force majeure - possible legal implications of the Coronavirus epidemic

● Damage / compensation claims against government authority in case of closures?

● M&A: Transactions In Times Of Corona: The Return Of The MAC? Foreign Direct Investment Restrictions increased

● Real Estate (impact on current real estate projects and leases and future construction)

● Real-life examples from a corporate perspective

Management of Companies during a Pandemic: Corporate Governance & Compliance

● What will happen to Shareholders'' meetings (postponement, e-meetings); related governance issues

● Need to set up a Pandemic task force/rescue plan [potential integration/harmonizing with ESG planning] [e.g., conflict: because of climate change employers encourage public transport or car-sharing, in case of pandemic individual travel recommended / mandatory]

Expropriations/Nationalizations

● Possible expropriations/nationalizations will occur in strategically relevant areas, or ad interim requisitions (for instance, facilities which may be organized as Covid19 specialized hospitals, either with intensive care units or for patients who are recovering but still need to remain isolated), as well as in sectors of strategic national interests (e.g. telecommunication, transportation, defense, infrastructure).

● Questions that are likely to be raised: Indemnification criteria, related litigation, regulatory issues, investment protection

● State backed guarantees / state participation / restraints on executive pay and other conditions

What to expect now? Will there be a new Normal & What will it look like?

● How to prepare and provide business-level awareness of major risks and requirements to address the next pandemic

● Will there be a new trend and how will this pair up with the current trend towards a ''sharing economy''

● Trend towards more digitalization [higher digital standards and increased deployment of AI]

● Trend towards more localization vs. globalisation

SPEAKERS:

● Prof. Dr. Christian C.-W. Pleister, Partner, NOERR

● Cecilia Carrara, Partner, LEGANCE
● Frederique Henriot, Director of Sales & Business Development, North America, GL EVENTS

July 22, 2020 Register here	Immigration Update - Visa Options for Europeans and Canadians in the Age of COVID-19 & in the Light of Recent Developments As of April 22, a temporarily halt of all immigration known as the "COVID-19 proclamation" came into effect; suspending all routine visa services at U.S. embassies and consulates. This measure, in addition to the many changes to the U.S. immigration system ordered by the current U.S. administration in 2019, has had a significant impact on the lives of millions of immigrants living legally in the United States. Immigration Reform (2019) was designed to slow legal immigration and to strengthen the Department of Homeland Security''s ability to enforce immigration laws, create obstacles in the immigration process for some, and streamline the path to obtain immigration benefits for others. Some of these changes are taking effect in 2020, and even more changes may be on the horizon. Join our panel for an update on U.S. immigration and how it may affect you and your business or your ability to conduct business in the United States.

Our panelists will cover lodging and retail as well as the office markets across the US and Europe and explain what is going on in the leveraged loans and corporate bond market.
September 9, 2020 Save the Date!

December 17, 2020 Register here This transatlantic EACC webinar is brought to you by the EACC Paris	Foreigners Living or Investing in France, and French expatriates: What are the pitfalls and how to avoid them? The COVID pandemic has only temporarily slowed international travel and expatriation, which has increased dramatically with advances in technology, social media and the mobile economy. In 2019, an estimated 9 million U.S. citizens lived overseas, with 20,690,491 U.S. passports issued- a 47 percent spike from 2014. As much as these advances have decomplexified international mobility, Multi-National Families; Citizens, Residents in France, and French abroad end up living in a complex cross-border environment. Many are unaware of how their nationality and place of residence can impact their lives and financial future. Legal and HR counsel of their country of origin are often equally unaware of how choices such as which marital contract, or estate planning framework, can interact with local rules.

Entry to the United States, and possibly also to and within the EU, is being restricted in an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic. These moves are having an immediate and broad impact on transatlantic and global business.

Our experts will examine issues such as:

What the ''travel ban'' means in reality to business travelers and who exactly is affected
How a reduction in air passenger volumes affects business operations in the short and long-term?
Can consultants declare force majeure if they are unable to get to client sites?
What considerations do businesses have to take regarding their networks and technology solutions to ensure adequate contingency of operations while people are stranded?

Upcoming EACCNY Events

March 24, 2020 11:00 AM EDT Register	WEBINAR: The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and GDPR: What U.S. and European Companies Need to Know Do you have data protection concerns? Does the CCPA apply to you? How does it differ from the GDPR, the EU''s data protection regime? Can you prepare for both at the same time? Do "exemptions" in the CCPA for healthcare, financial services, and non-profit corporations mean that the new law is of no consequence in these sectors? Are there other state laws which mirror or differ from the requirements of the CCPA or the GDPR?
April 2, 2020 10:00 AM EDT Register	WEBINAR: A Different Business Culture: Optimize Your Career and Your Business in the U.S. Join us for this information packed webinar on how to ensure that your employees, and with them your brand, feel at home in a new market. One million dollars - That is what it costs to initiate a corporate relocation for a single employee today. If you want to launch and market your brand in a new country, the costs can well exceed that. Getting it right depends on many factors, among them how well your employees communicate in a unfamiliar environment and how they are perceived by their business partners and clients.
Early/Mid April Check for updates here	WEBINAR: Risk Management in a Pandemic Our panel will discus topics including: Risk Management for Commercial Contracts, Employment & Benefits, Rescue Finance, M&A - Transactions in Times of Corona, Corporate Governance & Compliance, Issues for Business Advisory Services.

June 4, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

The statistics for the first quarter of 2020 of the "U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services" for the EU will be released on June 4. Join us for this very timely fire-side chat with Pascal Lamy - President Emeritus, Jacques Delors Institute and Former Director-General of the WTO, Lucinda Creighton - CEO of Vulcan Consulting,and Doug Lippoldt - EU Trade Expert and Chief Trade Economist of HSBC, moderated by John Foley of Reuters Breaking Views. They will discuss the impact on transatlantic trade both in the EU and U.S., short-term impact on multifaceted supply chains; supply chain de-risking measures; globalization measures, and the pandemic''s impact on flow of services.

Join us for a program on Trans-Atlantic trade, how it is affected by COVID-19 and how Trade will change going forward. The panelists will discuss issue such as:

● The economic impact on both the EU and U.S.
● Short term impact on multifaceted supply chains as the pandemic continues
● Supply chain de-risking measures
● Will there be a trend towards domestic champions, if so which industries are most likely effect and will there be opportunity for investment & growth?
● What will be the effects of the drastic measures take in the EU on the single markets
● What can businesses do in response to continuing policy and economic turbulence?
● The impact on flow of services - e.g. in education (Chinese students etc), financial services, tourism etc.
● Will this present opportunities for greater EU/U.S. collaboration to accelerate alternatives to Chinese technologies or will both continents go it alone?

We will also explore the fact that the U.S. and EU have tremendous market scale and maintain elements of shared business culture and openness. Only three other markets globally are of USD5 trillion or greater: China, Japan and CPTPP, and ASEAN. Are there gains to be had from removing specific impediments to trade on the EU-U.S. trade corridor?

June 17, 2020 Register here	COVID-19 Travel Disruptions - Impact on foreign business travelers, executives and their employers COVID-19 has left visitors, business travelers and executives stranded in their country of destination - be it in Europe or the United States - and potentially subjecting those individuals and their employers to that nation''s income tax. Likewise, employers confronted with stranded foreign employees on temporary missions must handle any consequences of over-staying a visa or a temporary work contract in compliance with immigration and employment laws. Some countries have relaxed some of these rules while others have yet to provide the necessary guidance.
July 7, 2020 Register here	Cyber Security Threat Management during a Global Disruption like the Covid19 Pandemic In today''s increasingly digitized world and with the economy, and the way we work being disrupted by the COVID19 pandemic cyber threats are on the rise. Especially in a 100% remote working environment Hackers have gotten creative once again. Aside from the inability to adequately monitor VPN access points, usage of equipment, the fear and distraction the virus and resulting shutdown create a perfect backdoor into computer systems.

For this initiative, the EACCNY asked members from across various industries to ''muse'' about the now imminent Brexit.

The idea for these insights was to mentally play through different scenarios - a comprehensive deal, or a crash out at the end of 2020 - on a few select business issues that will be effected by Brexit, and to outline the consequences each possible outcome could have.

A discussion of VAT in the light of Brexit by Andersen Tax.

What are the legal FDI implications of COVID-19 in Europe and the U.S.

September 24, 2020 | 11:00 AM EDT / 5:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

COVID-19 has not only significantly slowed down social life, but economies as well. All over the world, authorities have to balance between protecting their nation''s economies and stimulating recovery, while still allowing for collaboration and cross-border trade and investments. The Foreign Direct Investment regulations in Europe are seeing exemptions in certain forms of cooperation, allowing state aids under certain conditions, but also increased restrictions in acquisitions to avoid ailing firms to fall into foreign hands.

In the U.S., COVID-19 has affected and will continue to affect examinations of foreign investment into the United States by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In particular, the pandemic may lead to additional scrutiny of foreign investments in the U.S. health, biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. In addition, debt restructuring transactions and opportunities to invest in distressed assets will probably be on the rise. Both foreign investors and lenders should assess if these transactions may be within the jurisdiction of CFIUS and, if so, whether a filing must or should be made.

Our panel will discuss:
● Overview of the various rules related to FDI [EU] and CFIUS [U.S.]
● Recent COVID-19 related changes
   - Expanding the list of relevant sectors
   - Including acquisitions in sectors other than Defense and Security (EU)
   - Expanding the list of notifiable transactions
● Interactions with EU Regulation on FDI

SPEAKERS:

● Francesco Maria Salerno, Partner, GIANNI, ORIGONI, GRIPPO, CAPPELLI & PARTNERS
● Jeanine McGuinness, Partner, ORRICK, HERRINGTON & SUTCLIFFE LLP
● Jonathan Shames, Global Client Service Partner, PE & Geostrategic Business Group, EY [Moderator]

during a Pandemic

October 7, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

As Europe and the U.S. are working their way through the COVID-19 pandemic the lingering shutdowns have had a significant and in some cases crippling impact on cross-border investigations.

This program will discuss:
● Recent developments in the EU, incl. the Shrems II ruling on privacy shield and its effects on data management, a new bill in German courts and anti-corruption measures in Italy.
● How the pandemic has created new techniques to prepare for and manage cross-border investigations, incl. how travel restrictions effect witness interviews and how to remedy that challenge.
● The emergence of new technological solutions, which often include new technologies, come with their own, new, and unique challenges

This is a program not to be missed, you will leave with new ideas and a better understanding of how to take your investigation abroad.

SPEAKERS:

● Jonathan Halpern, Partner, HOLLAND & KNIGHT
● Ilaria Curti, Counsel, PORTOLANO CAVALLO

The COVID pandemic has only temporarily slowed international travel and expatriation, which has increased dramatically with advances in technology, social media and the mobile economy. In 2019, an estimated 9 million U.S. citizens lived overseas, with 20,690,491 U.S. passports issued- a 47 percent spike from 2014. As much as these advances have decomplexified international mobility, Multi-National Families; Citizens, Residents in France, and French abroad end up living in a complex cross-border environment. Many are unaware of how their nationality and place of residence can impact their lives and financial future. Legal and HR counsel of their country of origin are often equally unaware of how choices such as which marital contract, or estate planning framework, can interact with local rules.

Navigating the Recovery: How Europe is Coming out Stronger from the Pandemic

September 9, 2020 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT | Online Webinar

The road to recovery remains beset with challenges, but Europe will come out stronger from the pandemic recession.

The long shutdown was a high, but necessary price to pay to slow down the progression of the pandemic. Despite recent signs of resurgence, Europe overall has been fairly successful in flattening the curve of contagions. The unprecedented output contraction has left many EU economies struggling with high fiscal needs and the perspective of sluggish growth. To facilitate a more even recovery, EU leaders have agreed on an unprecedented EU-level policy response, which despite its temporary nature may carry the seed of a stronger fiscal union.

Join top EU economists in Washington, D.C. as they discuss the outlook for the European economy, the key measures taken by the European Union, and some of the risks facing the economic recovery. The presentation will include a detailed look at the European Commission''s Summer Economic Forecast, discuss the details of the historic agreement Recovery Plan and other policy measures put forward by the European Commission and the European Central Bank.

The program will offer an opportunity for Q&A.

SPEAKERS:

● Kris Orsini, Counselor for Economic & Financial Affairs, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES

● Ben Carliner, Senior Economist, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES

● Yvonne Bendinger-Rothschild, Executive Director, EUROPEAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NEW YORK [Moderator]

Our panel will share their professional & personal stories covering the following topics: ● What information does a voice give you? ● How do you perceive your own voice? ● Should you change your voice to lead? ● How do perceived speaking styles affect career opportunities? ● Technology and how algorithms are assessing us ● Accents and Media Join us for an interactive discussion, where we will explore what people think of as the "voice of leadership" and begin to understand some of the biases that can develop as we listen to different voices, speech patterns, communication styles, and accents. What might trigger those biases and why is it important for us to challenge ourselves to change our own perceptions?

Join us to find out how the duties below have impacted trade between the US and EU, how affected industries and companies are handling this and what impact these duties are having on trade into Florida and as a trade hub into Latin America. In 2018, the US set import tariffs on steel and aluminum from China and the EU. In 2019, further tariffs were imposed on EU goods such as wine, cheese, motorcycles, luxury items. On July 16, 2020, in reaction to France''s plan to impose a Digital Service Tax on e-commerce companies, the United States Trade Representative threatened to impose additional duties of 25% as of January 2021 on products from France such as handbags, make-up and soap.
September 24, 2020 Register here	What are the legal FDI implications of COVID-19 in Europe and the U.S. COVID-19 has not only significantly slowed down social life, but economies as well. All over the world, competition authorities have felt the need to temporarily adjust their regulations and tighten their scrutiny. They have to balance between protecting the nation''s economy and stimulating recovery, while still allowing for collaboration and cross-border trade and investments. The Foreign Direct Investment regulations in Europe are seeing exemptions in certain forms of cooperation, allowing state aids under certain conditions, but also increased restrictions in acquisitions to avoid ailing firms to fall into foreign hands.In the U.S., COVID-19 has affected and will continue to affect examinations of foreign investment into the United States by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In particular, the pandemic may lead to additional scrutiny of foreign investments in the U.S. health, biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. In addition, debt restructuring transactions and opportunities to invest in distressed assets will probably be on the rise. Both foreign investors and lenders should assess if these transactions may be within the jurisdiction of CFIUS and, if so, whether a filing must or should be made.

Risk Management in a Pandemic: What to do Now?

April 22, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT | 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

COVID-19 has affected Commerce, Travel, and all Transatlantic Transactions for weeks. Without a clear picture on the end of this global pandemic and no guarantee that there won''t be a second or third wave, businesses must re-evaluate their management, their HR strategies and their supply chains and contracts.

Join us for an open dialog on how to navigate these times of uncertainty and crisis, followed by a member''s Q&A. We hope to provide guidance and awareness on trends for a path to recovery.

Our panel will share its insights on the following business topics:

Workforce Issues Companies are facing in a Pandemic

● Getting your workforce through a Pandemic - balancing economic survival and being a supportive employer

● The new reality of remote work security, sanity and childcare

● Sick leave and protection of employment in the US and EU

● How to prepare your staff for the aftermath

Risk Management related to Commercial Contracts

● Impossibility and force majeure - possible legal implications of the Coronavirus epidemic

● Damage / compensation claims against government authority in case of closures?

● M&A: Transactions In Times Of Corona: The Return Of The MAC? Foreign Direct Investment Restrictions increased

● Real Estate (impact on current real estate projects and leases and future construction)

● Real-life examples from a corporate perspective

Management of Companies during a Pandemic: Corporate Governance & Compliance

● What will happen to Shareholders'' meetings (postponement, e-meetings); related governance issues

● Need to set up a Pandemic task force/rescue plan [potential integration/harmonizing with ESG planning] [e.g., conflict: because of climate change employers encourage public transport or car-sharing, in case of pandemic individual travel recommended / mandatory]

Expropriations/Nationalizations

● Possible expropriations/nationalizations will occur in strategically relevant areas, or ad interim requisitions (for instance, facilities which may be organized as Covid19 specialized hospitals, either with intensive care units or for patients who are recovering but still need to remain isolated), as well as in sectors of strategic national interests (e.g. telecommunication, transportation, defense, infrastructure).

● Questions that are likely to be raised: Indemnification criteria, related litigation, regulatory issues, investment protection

● State backed guarantees / state participation / restraints on executive pay and other conditions

What to expect now? Will there be a new Normal & What will it look like?

● How to prepare and provide business-level awareness of major risks and requirements to address the next pandemic

● Will there be a new trend and how will this pair up with the current trend towards a ''sharing economy''

● Trend towards more digitalization [higher digital standards and increased deployment of AI]

● Trend towards more localization vs. globalisation

The U.S. Wayfair Decision:

Untangling the Web of U.S. Sales Tax and What European Businesses Need to Know

June 10, 2020 | 10:00 AM EDT / 4:00 PM CET | Online Webinar

In this current pandemic, more and more businesses transactions are being taken online. When selling goods or services into the United States, you may have to collect sales tax for that transaction in each state your client resides.

No longer do you need to have a physical presence - or "nexus" - in the U.S. to be sales tax obligatory. It all started with the U.S. Supreme Court decision South Dakota v. Wayfair on June 21, 2018. The so called Wayfair Decision allows states to mandate that businesses with more than 200 transactions or $100,000 in-state sales, collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state, whether the business has a physical presence in the state or not. The new law rather allows the state to tax businesses based on the customer''s location and the amount of sales, not the location of the business.

Many states followed South Dakota, resulting in a collection of similar but at the same time wildly varying tax laws apply and doing business in the U.S. all of a sudden feels like doing business in "50 different countries".

Topics to be addressed in this webinar:
● What EU exporters selling into the U.S. need to know about inter-state sales tax?
● Who is subject to Wayfair Tax and what level of activity is required to subject a company to sales/use tax?
● How is this being enforced and how does the future look like?
● What Types of Transactions are being taxed and how do U.S. States differentiate?
● Are there any issues Specific to European Companies?
● What you need to know about the details (who is subject to the tax, Filing and Remittance, concrete responsibilities, penalties, red flags?
● What rights do businesses have state by state?
● What is the impact of Brexit?
● What you need to know to plan ahead?

This EACC Chapter wide webinar will explain what the U.S. Wayfair Decision means for European businesses in the United States and how the legislation affects businesses across the country.

SPEAKERS:

● Betsy Gillon, Managing Member, GILLON TAX
● Jared Johnson, Principal, OFFIT KURMAN

Europe and the Great Lockdown: Economic Outlook & Policy Priorities to Reopen the EU Economy

May 21, 2020 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT | Online Webinar

The COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest shock to the global economy since the financial crisis of 2008. All around the world, unprecedented steps were taken to combat the virus and to protect workers and businesses while economy activity froze. As the European economy progressively starts opening again, it is time to assess the economic consequences of the pandemic, the effectiveness of EU''s policy response, but also authorities'' plans to boost resilience and restart economic activity, preventing a new prolonged period of sluggish growth.

Join two top EU economists and Dimitrios Rakitzis, Senior Economist, ECB Representation in Washington, D.C., as they discuss the outlook for the European economy, the key measures taken by the European Union and its Member States, and some of the risks still facing the global economy.

The presentation will include a detailed look at the European Commission''s revised Spring Economic Forecast, discuss the fiscal and monetary policy response, as well as some of the new institutional arrangements. The program will offer an opportunity for Q&A.

SPEAKERS:

● Kris Orsini, Counselor for Economic & Financial Affairs, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES

● Ben Carliner, Senior Economist, EU DELEGATION TO THE UNITED STATES

● Dimitrios Rakitzis, Senior Economist, ECB Representation in Washington, D.C.
