Great insights from @AlexStamos on clashes between #tech, #cyber risk and #gdpr. Support for a federal #privacy law, for greater information exchange on cyber threat intelligence and for more (any) clarity on #data breach fining methodologies. @freshfields at #berkeleyMandA2020

Omar Pringle: ‘@Freshfields studies of US deal terms show that hell or highwater clauses are on the increase but we are seeing fewer break fee except in deals with real antitrust risk. Buyers are having to take on more risk’

The Supreme Court has provided an authoritative ruling on the value of medical evidence in torture cases - an important development for future asylum cases. Proud to have acted for @FreefromTorture, @HelenBamber, and @Medical_Justice on this case: https://t.co/Aie17TlDRm

Aimen Mir #TulaneCLI: ‘My advice to clients is to actively engage with CFIUS early and often. Educate the Committee on the facts to help it analyze the deal. Don’t be a passive observer. Shape views on the underlying areas of concern and offer creative solutions to address them.’

[Alan Mason @AlanMasonFBD]

Peter Lyons #TulaneCLI: ‘We used to think of national security as a standalone topic. Now we worry about how foreign forces will be able to use dual-use technologies as weapons in the future. CFIUS has become mainstream. This started before Trump and is driven by technology’

[Alan Mason @AlanMasonFBD]

Excited to be listening to our partner Aimen Mir ex-Head of CFIUS at US Treasury who leads our National Security Practice, speaking on a panel chaired by our US Managing Partner Peter Lyons and sharing his unique insights on ‘The Tangled Web of Global Approvals’ #TulaneCLI
