The New B2B-legislation put into practice: Are you ready?

Webinar | 12.08.20, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

There have been some major changes in the B2B landscape recently. Most of these changes are now either in effect or are on the verge of being so. The new rules on unfair market practices entered into force on September 1, 2019 followed by the rules prohibiting abuse of economic dependence on August 22, 2020. And now, on December 1, 2020, the new rules on unlawful contract terms will kick in.


These legislative changes will undoubtedly affect many Belgian companies in their B2B relationships, both on a national and international level. Are you confident that your firm is prepared for this? How can you be better prepared, also bearing in mind that different national frameworks impose different sets of rules? What has practical experience taught us? And what can we learn from foreign precedents? 


During this webinar, Crowell & Moring will provide you with useful information about the practical consequences of this new Belgian legislation, and discuss the opportunities and potential pitfalls it brings with it.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
