I don’t think you can pick up a newspaper without reading about how someone is affected by supply chain issues.
Featured Highlights
Supply Chain Challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions highlighted the vulnerabilities of the global supply chain. Businesses and governments alike are reconsidering the “just-in-time” model and identifying how they can best secure supply chains, while remaining engaged in the global marketplace. Issues to consider include sustainability (particularly in light of international net zero carbon goals), rising cyber threats, automation, and the impact of a semiconductor shortage on electric vehicle growth.
Supply Chain Challenges
Data Privacy & Cybersecurity
Businesses increasingly are operating in an interconnected global marketplace. While this greatly expands opportunities for growth, it also increases risks related to data privacy and cybersecurity. Companies not only face a sophisticated array of threats, but also have to meet increasingly complex compliance burdens such as new U.S. state privacy laws, European data privacy regulations, Privacy Shield 2.0, and biometric litigation.

International Trade & Export Controls
Global businesses need to be aware of recent priority shifts in U.S. regulations, compliance, and enforcement related to cross-border trade. These issues can impact companies, no matter where they are based, if they do business in the U.S. Some issues to monitor particularly closely include recent changes in U.S. export control methodology, CFIUS/foreign investment national security reviews, and trade policy influences on technology transfers and global supply chains.

Intellectual Property & Emerging Tech
It often is said that innovation outpaces the law, and this is particularly true in the global economy. Technology makes it far easier to do business across borders, but global companies also must establish and defend their IP in a wider range of settings. Some of the innovations and developments driving global IP considerations include 5G, the Metaverse, AI, and the Unified Patent Court/Unitary Patent System.

Energy Transition & Infrastructure
A great deal of activity is going on in the areas of infrastructure development (including broadband) and energy security/transition worldwide. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocates $1.2 trillion—the largest infrastructure investment in U.S. history. The Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative seeks to address $40 trillion in infrastructure needs in developing countries. Countries around the globe are also addressing the clean energy transition and need for greater energy security.

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance)
ESG is increasingly both a marketplace concern and a strategic goal for companies. But what does ESG mean in the context of global business? We will examine such issues as European sustainable finance regulation, U.S. SEC action on ESG, Scope 3 emissions, the Net Zero Banking Alliance, and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures.

Litigation & International Arbitration
An increase in global business also means an increase in global disputes. Companies that do business in the international marketplace need to be prepared to defend their interests in courts – or in arbitration forms – around the world. From disputes involving ESG, greenwashing, construction, international corporate compliance and more, we’ll take a closer look at litigation on the global stage and recent trends in international arbitration.
