Agenda Day 1

2:20 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: ACROSS THE POND – NAVIGATING THE US REGULATORY AND LEGAL LANDSCAPE AS A GLOBAL COMPANY

The US regulatory and legal landscape is a challenging one, and especially so for in-house counsel based in Europe working in global companies, already needing to navigate their own jurisdiction. However, it is of the upmost importance to be able to do so, be it to protect assets in the US or to work efficiently with counterpart teams there. Join a group of in house counsel based in the US, who will share practical insights and strategies to help European legal teams understand and better manage the complexities of the US legal landscape.

- Discover key legislative changes in the US, and equip yourself with the necessary tools to better protect your assets

- Learn to bridge cultural and legal differences, be it with those you already work with or as you prepare to merge/open a new office in the US, and assess challenges US lawyers face, such as the ongoing battle against patent trolls

- Hear from a range of different voices from across industries to better understand the implications of topics such as AI and data privacy, or industry specific regulations in the US

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Jennifer.
