Contract Drafting in Light of Recent Legislative Changes
Webinar | 05.19.22, 7:00 AM CDT - 9:00 AM CDT
The legislative framework for contract drafting is rapidly evolving. A revised Book of the Belgian Civil Code on obligations (which is likely to be adopted after the Easter holidays), a recent change in the law to combat late payment between companies, and the existing rules on B2B contracts in the Code of Economic law all need to be taken into account.
Key concepts, principles and rules that are ingrained in the minds of every legal practitioner are or will be modified by these legislative changes (for example, concerning the possibility to invoke hardship, or the possibility of anticipatory breach). Moreover, the relationship between the various legal provisions is not always immediately clear.
In this webinar, we will take a look at the new and existing laws, and discuss their practical impact. We will provide useful examples and tips and tricks on how to draft and interpret commercial contracts within the current and upcoming legislative rules.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
