From NAFTA to USMCA – What is the Future of International Investment Protection for US Investors?
Webinar | 05.28.19, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT
Under the new USMCA investment chapter, a radical change has occurred that will not only impact US investors in Canada and Mexico, but may herald a significant retreat in the US position on investment protection. Our presenters will describe these changes and address many related questions, including: Why did the policy change? Will this now become general policy and result in the watering down of all such protections and dispute resolution alternatives in future trade agreements? What are the wider business implications of potential weakened investment protections? What strategies can business undertake to reverse this trend?
Presenters include some of the most experienced practitioners in the field. We hope you will join us for this free and informative webinar.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
