Evan Chuck and Jana del-Cerro will speak on the panel on Trade Controls. Evan will discuss recent developments in the conflicts between U.S. and China law, including the impact of China’s recent use of its Antiforeign Sanctions Law and Unreliable Entity List designations, as well as developments in enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. Jana will discuss the evolving U.S. export controls targeting certain industries in China, the efforts to build a multilateral approach on export policy and enforcement, and the implications for doing business in Asia.

Please join us for a series of panels that will discuss and address the cutting-edge issues in technology impacting in-house legal teams navigating commercial risk and enforcement. This program will tackle important issues from Artificial Intelligence (AI) to antitrust, and from privacy issues to SEC regulatory schemes. Moreover, we recognize that many of the current, as well as future issues have an international component. Our presenters will provide companies with critical information not just on U.S. law and issues, but also touch button issues in Asia and Europe.

International trade and foreign investment laws are changing quickly, particularly as a result of the heated political environment in Washington, D.C., and rising tensions between the U.S. and China. Even companies that are traditionally out of the flood plain need to heed the potential for a 100-year flood!

This program will provide an understanding of some of the national security and trade restrictions aimed at China that the United States has taken, and China’s responses, including China’s updated Counterespionage Law, which went into effect on July 1, 2023, with a particular focus on how you and your company should approach risk mitigation.
