June 11: National Security Review of Foreign Investment Transactions

Description:

While bipartisan legislative successes have been rare in today’s polarized political climate, one major exception was the broad agreement on strengthening the framework for reviewing foreign investment in U.S. companies. This consensus led to the passage of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) in 2018.

The final rule issued in January 2020 implemented FIRRMA and clarified the modern process for CFIUS review of inbound transactions. This CLE will:

• Review the landscape leading to FIRRMA
• Highlight key elements of the updated regulatory process
• Provide updates on recent developments as national security concerns evolve
• Offer instruction on researching legislation, regulations, and market examples of CFIUS approval clauses in M&A agreements

This program is designed to help attorneys understand the shifting regulatory environment and effectively advise clients navigating foreign investment transactions.

June 11: AI in Action: How to Draft with GenAI

Description:

Generative AI is reshaping legal drafting—accelerating first drafts of contracts, pleadings, legal arguments, deposition questions, memos, client letters, emails, and clauses. This CLE shows practitioners how to use generative AI to move from a blank page to a high-quality first draft faster, with a practical ethics segment on competence with technology, confidentiality, supervision, and compliance with evolving court expectations.

You will see exemplar prompts and iterations, including responsive drafting from uploaded documents, and learn how to verify authorities and reduce risk with citation validation. Participants leave with a deeper understanding of prompt strategy, an iteration playbook, and a defensible workflow to deploy AI drafting safely in everyday practice—drafting and refining legal documents with structured prompts, using upload-based responsive drafting, applying an ethics-first checklist mapping Model Rules 1.1, 1.6, 5.3, and 3.3, recognizing hallucinations and misattributions, and tracking court standing orders and evolving AI-use rules.
