WATCH: Video of the Cuba Event in D.C.
Please join Crowell & Moring and the Hispanic Heritage Foundation for a discussion on the thawing of relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
President Obama's new course in U.S.-Cuba Policy took shape earlier this year with the release of new authorizations amending the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (CACR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), providing industry with the new "rules of the road" authorizing certain transactions in or with Cuba – both in the short term and long-term.
While new general licenses and policy positions announced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) present exciting opportunities for U.S. companies interested in doing business with Cuba, the new regulations still present significant compliance risks.
Please join us for an update on Cuba trade policy, the prospective for further liberalization, and a discussion of the commercial considerations as U.S. businesses develop their strategy for reengaging with Cuba.
- An overview of the thawing of relations with Cuba and the prospects for further liberalization in 2015.
- A discussion of the Cuban business and legal environment.
- An update on strategies for compliant business engagement and investment in Cuba – the new rules.
- Cuban trade – inbound and outbound opportunities and risk – the path forward and lessons learned.

"The Tide is High: New Guidance on Sea-Level Rise," The Bar Association of San Francisco
Jon Welner will be interviewing Larry Goldzband, the Executive Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), on the Commission’s new plan to prepare the SF Bay Area for sea-level rise. BCDC is the agency responsible for permitting all development on the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. On December 5, 2024, the BCDC adopted the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP). The RSAP is a region-wide plan for the San Francisco Bay shoreline that guides the creation of coordinated, locally planned sea level rise adaptation actions that work together to achieve a regional One Bay Vision. This includes BCDC’s guidelines for how local governments must meet the requirements of SB 272, a new State mandate that requires all local governments along the shoreline to prepare a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan by 2034.
