Where From Here – Webinar Series

May 24, 2022: Public companies face several questions now that the SEC has proposed sweeping rules to require climate-change disclosures. How would the rules affect a company’s climate goals and strategy? How would climate goals affect SEC reporting? And what’s the best way to navigate the renewables market? We discuss those and related questions – and suggest practical tips for public companies – in the latest conversation we’ve hosted about the growing role of ESG factors in business today.

April 19, 2022: The SEC recently released cybersecurity and climate-related disclosure rules. To help public companies get abreast of these developments, our cybersecurity, corporate governance and ESG experts hosted a discussion with Mike Pressman, Assistant General Counsel at Microsoft. This discussion provides an overview of the new rules and offers practical suggestions to get ahead of these trends. We also include our predictions on the upcoming rules about human capital management.

March 4, 2022: The United States, the UK and the EU have imposed far-reaching and unprecedented economic sanctions and export controls in response to Russia’s military actions in Ukraine. Our team discusses the new restrictions and practical considerations for companies seeking to comply with the rapidly changing requirements.

January 27, 2022: We are expecting an increase in regulatory enforcement, particularly from the SEC, in 2022. One topic many public companies are wrestling with is new SEC amendments requiring disclosure of insider trading policies and procedures. To help companies better understand this new guidance and what it means, we hosted a conversation with industry leaders from KPMG to discuss how to proactively prepare for the new guidance and how to manage some of the challenges companies may face when formalizing and implementing their procedures.

May 14, 2021: ESG and the push toward net zero have quickly become considerations for companies in every sector. Companies are becoming increasingly invested in the process, choosing renewable energy sources to significantly reduce carbon emissions. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets are key considerations for many large commercial, industrial and institutional (C&I) buyers. Yet, the standards for carbon offsets and RECs are not well defined. In fact, some have described it as the “wild west” -- where sustainability assumptions are not always carefully vetted and disclosures may not hold up under regulatory scrutiny. We hosted a timely conversation on disclosure obligations and mitigating risks connected with renewable energy reporting.

April 15, 2021: With the arrival of Spring and the vaccine, we're all feeling pent-up demand to re-open and travel. Vaccination rates are climbing and there's light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel. Countries and companies are looking to "vaccine passports" to help structure re-opening plans, but technical complexity, lack of uniformity and mixed governmental support threaten to slow adoption and sow uncertainty and risk. We hosted a practical conversation on the basics of vaccine passports, and the potential key privacy and security issues, employment concerns and U.S. constitutional and other federal civil liberties issues.

April 1, 2021: While concerns over the power and influence of Big Tech have been simmering for years, #techlash may be on the brink of boiling over. Combined with what appears to be an increasing appetite for legislation coupled with more regulatory regimes in the U.S. and worldwide, it’s more important than ever to see around corners in the areas of merger regulation, competition policy, and intellectual property enforcement.
