Chemical Regulation in 2018 - February 8, 2018

2018 Chemical Policy Summit Series Part I: Chemical Regulation in 2018: A Sneak Preview of Things to Come

Sponsored by Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.

• 
  

What a difference a year makes! To some extent, the surprise of 2016 -- the election of Donald J. Trump as President -- did make many predicted changes about life in Washington, D.C. for 2017 come true. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) budget proposal reflects serious cuts, environmental policies were reversed, rules were withdrawn, several promulgated regulations were Congressionally invalidated, and new leadership positions remain open in several program offices. For chemical practitioners, Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) implementation has dominated the headlines, with pesticide issues following closely behind.

Join us for a focused discussion, featuring Nancy B. Beck, Ph.D., a top EPA Administration leader, of priorities facing EPA’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP), focusing on TSCA implementation issues and many hot topics in the pesticide area, including Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) issues such as glyphosate, pollinators, and much more.

This program may be especially helpful for small and large chemical manufacturers and the trade associations that serve them; downstream customers; retailers; original equipment manufacturers (OEM); consultants; attorneys; and government affairs representatives.

Speakers:

James V. Aidala - Senior Government Affairs Consultant, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.

Charles M. Auer - Senior Regulatory and Policy Advisor, Bergeson & Campbell, P.C.

Nancy B. Beck, Ph.D., D.A.B.T.® - Deputy Assistant Administrator, EPA Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention

The Trump administration has had a significant impact on immigration.

Worksite inspections and audits have increased over the past year and are expected to increase in 2018. In order to minimize the risk of a government investigation, employers must understand the risks they face due to the increased scrutiny and the best way to adopt a comprehensive immigration compliance plan.

In this webinar, Part One of the series, Manatt and Fragomen attorneys will provide insight into the priorities of the government agencies and their impact upon companies and their employees. They will also discuss the rights and obligations of foreign national travelers at the border and special concerns involving the privacy of electronic devices.

Fraud and Corruption Investigations - February 27, 2018

Fraud and Corruption Investigations in the 21st Century: How the Landscape Has Changed

Sponsored by K2 Intelligence

• 
  

Regardless of the number of high profile fraud and corruption matters hitting the headlines, fraudsters appear undaunted.  Technology now serves to enable these fraudsters, but it has also been a game-changer for investigative teams.  However, the technology needs to be driven by a diverse team of intelligence-driven investigators and forensic accountants who understand how to quickly, easily and thoroughly use the technology in support of the legal team’s goals.

From data analytics to machine learning, artificial intelligence to algorithms and biometrics, this webinar will detail how technology has influenced the investigative playing field - one where only a few decades ago had difficulty getting data and now has so much data it has difficulty managing it. It will discuss the impact of forensic accounting, those specialized accountants who are also investigative in bent, that pivot from place to place, quietly driving the scope and collection of hard-to-find data needed for litigation support. Additionally, this program will review regulation and the jurisdictional differences affecting multi-national corporations, such as restrictions affecting the movement of data between countries, privacy considerations in light of GDPR, and the need for ongoing compliance programs, protocols and training.

Finally, this webinar will briefly reflect on the 40th anniversary of FCPA and 25th anniversary of OECD and how these matters and investigations have changed (or not) over time.

Bloomberg 2017 State Trust Nexus Survey - On Demand

Learning from the Bloomberg BNA 2017 State Trust Nexus Survey

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA

• 
  

In Bloomberg BNA's 5th annual Trust Nexus Survey, senior state tax officials answered questions addressing their general trust income tax policies, the constitutional limitations placed on their taxation of trusts, the taxation of nonresident and part-year resident trusts, the availability of credits for taxes paid to other states and the specific activities that determine whether a trust is taxed as a resident trust in their state.

With the lack of uniform trust residency laws across the states, double taxation becomes a concern for all those involved with the creation and administration of a trust. When a trust is a resident trust under a state's law, the state may tax the trust's entire income. Because trust residency laws vary greatly among the states, a trust may be considered a resident trust in more than one state. As a result, the trust is subject to tax on its entire income in multiple states.

This webinar covers the results of BNA’s 2017 Trust Nexus Survey and examines broad trends that emerge through the states’ responses.

David A. Berek - Partner, Baker & McKenzie
