In this webinar, we will start with a general overview of the AI Act, the first horizontal legislation worldwide to regulate the safety of AI-systems, before moving to a few focal points.

Though post-COVID on-site work continues to become commonplace, the challenges of remote work and geographically-diverse teams continue to pose evolving legal, HR, and administrative obstacles for companies. These hurdles shift in parallel to continually changing employment laws, which are often highly nuanced, vary widely between states (including regarding what nexus gives rise to compliance requirements), and prone to frequent changes.

This webinar will provide actionable information companies can use to determine whether they are impacted by these state and federal requirements as well as practical advice for complying with these obligations.

In the fourth installment of the series, our speakers will cover the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding the use of AI technology. This landscape spans from the AI Act in the EU to the complex legal framework in the US, where the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the federal and state governments are having their say.

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.

Throughout the supply chain, companies regularly face losses related to contractual breaches, defective products or services, or late products or services. Recouping these costs and losses from other levels of supply chain provides a company’s legal department with an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the bottom line. This CLE will focus on discussing best practices, opportunities for recovery, and current challenges companies face related to supply chain recovery. Topics will include the benefits of and impediments to establishing a recovery program, how to maintain commercial supplier relationships and avoid litigation while maintain a robust recovery practice, and recent case law developments and market trends that could impact companies’ supply contracts and opportunities for recovery.

Crowell & Moring’s Government Contracts Group invites government contractors to a webinar in which we address the most consequential sections of the FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act.

After the first anniversary of Belgium's whistleblower legislation, it is time to take a look at the state of play. The legislation now applies to both "large" companies (250+ employees) and "medium" (50+ employees). Therefore, all these companies today must have an internal reporting channel, as well as a whistleblowing policy at the company level.

Join Crowell & Moring for a webinar covering key issues, hot topics, and top trends affecting government contractors in the new year. Our experienced practitioners will reflect on 2023 and discuss what’s on the horizon for the coming year addressing a variety of topics, including supply chain, cost and DCAA, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, False Claims Act, small business, labor/employment, intellectual property, claims, protests, and so much more. We hope you will join us for this free and informative webinar.
