Geopolitical Risk: Corporate Counsel’s New Focus
- Registration Closed
The world is a much different place today than it was just four years ago, before the global pandemic, rising geopolitical tensions, and surging interest in generative AI solutions. Corporate counsel must now recalibrate their focus on these new and accelerating geopolitical risks in their business operations.
This three-part webcast series will highlight current geopolitical risks in the globally interconnected commercial world. Utilizing Bloomberg data, the series will focus on three fundamental areas: i) supply-chain practices, ii) cybersecurity attacks, and iii) labor implications of global regulations.
Each 60-minute webinar will follow a moderated panel format followed by a question and answer (Q&A) session.

Many corporations and their labor practices have a global presence, specifically in the European Union (EU). As a result, corporate counsel must consider the major privacy, data security, and direct artificial intelligence (AI)-related regulations in the EU AI Act. Additionally, the recently enacted EU Directive on Pay Transparency Act is expected to have global effects by requiring more transparency on corporations’ pay practices and employee disclosure. This webinar will discuss the latest labor developments stemming from the EU AI Act and the Pay Transparency Act. Tentative topics include global AI governance policy, compliance best practices, employer’s obligations, labor risk and liability management, pay equity, and multinational companies with employees in one or more EU member states.
