The Belgian law of 18 May 2024 regulating private investigations marks a significant shift in the legal landscape for employers conducting internal investigations. This comprehensive reform replaces outdated legislation and introduces stricter compliance requirements, notably impacting data privacy and HR practices. Understanding these legal requirements is essential to avoid potential pitfalls and ensure that investigations are carried out in a lawful and efficient manner. 

On Tuesday, January 28 at 12:00 CET, Crowell & Moring will host a webinar to help employers, HR professionals, and legal practitioners navigate the new regulatory framework, mitigate risks, and adopt best practices. 

This webinar will cover: 

  • How does the new law on private investigations impact internal investigations and litigation?
  • The general principles and structure of the new legal framework
  • HR law aspects: key considerations for employers
  • Certification requirements for private investigators
  • GDPR implications and interactions with the EU Whistleblower Directive

An ELI Public Webinar - Understanding the Basics of Extended Producer Responsibility in the United States

To reduce waste and encourage recycling, an increasing number of international, federal, and local jurisdictions are embracing extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws, which have wide-reaching compliance implications for product manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other entities falling within the varying definitions of “producers.” EPR laws assign covered producers greater responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products and establish mandatory requirements for reporting, source reduction, and financial contributions to third-party entities, known as producer responsibility organizations. EPR requirements apply to a variety of consumer product categories, including batteries, electronics, mattresses, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and, most recently, packaging and paper products.
