Thanks to Law360 for publishing our article on the new privacy litigation trend in California -- Song-Beverly Credit Card Act claims based on online transactions. And thanks to Desirée Hunter-Reay for helping write it. Hopefully, we can nip this trend in the bud before it turns into another CIPA Pen-Trap situation. https://lnkd.in/gvgyrFMz

Two nights ago, NACD Northern California Chapter and Foley & Lardner LLP welcomed a group of globally-focused board directors to a private dinner. My partners Christopher Swift, who runs our firm’s national security team, and freshly joined Brian Wheeler, led a discussion around geopolitical threats, enforcement trends, and practical consequences to the phenomena relating to “securitization” of international trade and investment. Dr. Swift set the stage with three key paradigm shifts: 🔸 Economic: globalization to regionalization 🔻 Political: integration to fragmentation 🔺 Sociological: comprehension (fact-based decision making) to apprehension (emotion-based decision making) The practical consequences, as we see them, are that: 🔷 There are increasing restraints on cross-border trade and investment 🔵 More decisions are based on perceptions and posturing rather than facts (subjective vs. objective decision making) ☑ There is a growing tendency to turn commercial issues into security issues (that do not actually implicate national security) Our discussion highlighted the necessity for directors to prompt management to evaluate the potential risks and vulnerabilities stemming from geopolitical threats and regulatory enforcement actions. This process includes actively identifying areas of exposure, assessing the likelihood and impact of different scenarios, and creating strategies to mitigate risks and strengthen resilience. Here are several questions to consider asking at your next board meeting: ❓ How does the company gather and analyze intelligence on geopolitical developments?   ❔ What crisis planning has been done to manage various worst-case scenarios and how often is management reviewing this?   ⁉ How is management staying apprised of regulatory changes or compliance requirements related to geopolitical risks and international trade?    ⭕ How are we ensuring that our operations remain compliant in volatile markets? ❌ How resilient is our supply chain when it comes to geopolitical disruptions? Do we know who our suppliers' suppliers are? Do we have alternate suppliers on standby in the case of a geopolitical crisis?   ✖ How can the board support management in addressing these geopolitical challenges?   ✴ How may geopolitical issues affect the culture of the business and the employees/offices worldwide? Thank you 🙏 to Brian Wheeler for co-hosting the event with me, and Christopher Swift for leading the night's discussions. Special thanks 🙏 to our NACD directors Lisa Spivey 史白薇 and Kate Azima for bringing us all together. They do such an incredible job for us! 🙌 #techlaw #boardofdirectors #corporategovernance #venturecapital #foleyforward #garage2global #internationaltrade, #internationalsecurity, #doingbusiness, #china, #russia, #europeanunion, #unitedstates

Join us for a webinar exploring the implications of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC’s) final regulations interpreting the Pregnancy Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), which are extensive and will likely require employers to update their processes for accommodating pregnancy-related conditions. We will also discuss the EEOC’s recent enforcement guidance on workplace harassment.

In an earlier election era the catchphrase was "Hope and Change." As U.S. #immigration and #mobility leaders envision a post-elections future this November, it's not too soon to prepare for major programmatic changes affecting noncitizen workers depending on which candidates and parties prevail. Hope alone will likely not be enough because -- no matter the victors -- there will clearly be huge changes in the U.S. immigration landscape. Manish Daftari and I offer our forecast of what to expect and how to respond. Vialto Partners #vialtopartners #elections #USelections
