In collaboration with the IBJ

In this webinar, we will start with a general overview of the AI Act, the first horizontal legislation worldwide to regulate the safety of AI-systems, before moving to a few focal points.

We will briefly discuss: 

  • the scope of application of this new regulation, in particular the extra-territorial effect,
  • the key roles in the AI Act
  • the classification of the AI systems and the notion of general purpose AI models
  • the requirements for a safe AI system and the obligations for providers of such systems
  • enforcement, remedies and penalties at EU and national levels


We will then focus on the concrete obligations the AI Act entails for companies intending to use high risk or other AI systems in their organization or in relation to the public and the attention points for their contractual practice. 

Finally, we will explore the interaction between the AI Act and the GDPR.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
