April 17: Webcast - Regulating Non-Medical Marijuana: Lessons Learned and Paths Forward

Colorado and Washington State have legalized the commercial production, distribution and sale of marijuana for non-medical use, and a number of other states are considering similar legislation. Policy-makers, advocates and others are grappling with how to process licenses, develop regulations and manage production in an industry that is still largely illegal in the national and international arenas. This webinar will provide an overview of issues related to non-medical marijuana regulation through lessons learned from decades of alcohol and tobacco regulation, along with insights from Washington State’s recent implementation of a marijuana law. The webinar will also examine implications for drug policy and enforcement, as well as health department structure.

April 24: NYC - Investment Arbitration 360 #MCLE

The last decade has witnessed significant growth in the utilization of investment arbitration as a means of resolving disputes with sovereign states – and even greater growth in the development of third party funding and other risk/recovery sharing mechanisms for these arbitrations and the enforcement of the resulting arbitral awards. Members of the panel will discuss all of the dimensions of these matters – including many aspects that are often overlooked, including:
  • Structuring and nationality issues to consider before making a cross-border investment;
  • Developing, prosecuting and defending investment arbitration claims;
  • Crafting third-party funding and other risk/recovery sharing arrangements;
  • Enforcing an investment arbitration award against a sovereign state; and
  • The keys to effectively negotiating with a sovereign state before, in parallel with and after the arbitration.
