SUMMARY:The Sixth Annual Conference of the Atlanta International Arbitration Society (AtlAS)
DESCRIPTION:The past year has seen the rise of populist nationalism\, skepticism of multilateral trade agreements\, and calls to tighten\, in some ways\, the flow of people across borders – perhaps most visibly in the United States and Europe\, but with varying manifestations in other parts of the world\, as well.  For some\, these developments represent a much-needed course correction to protect their nation’s security and address macroeconomic trends that have hurt working people.  Others see them as harbingers of the demise of the post-World War II global order or worse.  These developments are sparking lively political debate\, but they also raise non-partisan\, practical questions for international business dispute resolution. \n

SUMMARY:How to be – and stay – successful in the U.S. market
DESCRIPTION:Business Breakfast with Factwell\, LLC \nA German-owned company in the U.S. finds out from the newspapers that their contract partner had been involved in a criminal case and had to pay punitive and compensatory damages of several million dollars. One of three counts in Volkswagen’s $4.3 billion guilty-plea was for the crime of obstruction of justice – arising from document destruction based on the advice of internal legal counsel. German companies often limit their due diligence efforts to M&A transactions\, and cry out “data privacy!” when requested to produce comprehensive data and documentation before court. However\, in the U.S.\, a comprehensive and constant collection of information in every phase of every business activity in the market is not only legal\, but an indispensable and essential part of the responsibility of CEOs\, managers\, or executives of any active enterprise in this market. If the rules of data transfer and information exchange are being ignored\, or if the value of intelligence regarding customers\, contract partners\, and other third parties is being underestimated\, companies may suffer not only severe financial losses\, but also reputational damage. \nIn this seminar\, we will:\n-Explain which information you need why and when\n-Provide best practices how to avoid the risk of costly rule violations. \nTopics we will cover:\n-The Power Of Information:\n-E-Discovery\, Big Data and German privacy rules\n-Due Diligence XXL: Do you really know your business partner?\n-Industrial espionage – Is the danger real?\n-Compliance and White Collar Crime\n-U.S. litigation tips and traps

SUMMARY:Film & Jazz: "Carlo\, Keep Swingin'"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Atlanta and the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta for a screening of the film “Carlo\, Keep Swingin” by Elizabeth Ok along with a discussion and Q&A session with the German filmmaker.\nThe film will be accompanied by live jazz music along with a wine and cheese reception. \nFilm length: 81 minutes\nTo be screened in German with English subtitles.\nAbout the film:\nThe movie by Elizabeth Ok is a colorful piece of artwork about an extraordinary person\, a genius with a fine sense of humor and a lot of enthusiasm. It also shows a complicated and tempting love story of an unconventional couple like Carlo and Anita\, in Germany of the fifties. Last but not least\, it is a hymn to freedom and jazz music. The Jazzkeller helped to build true relationships across countries after the painful experience of Second World War. The Movie shows how music and enthusiasm can overcome borders and bring people together. It seems that the motto of jazz musicians: keep swingin which helped in difficult times is still applicable today.
