SUMMARY:Cyber Security Threat Management during a Global Disruption like the COVID-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In today’s increasingly digitized world and with the economy\, and the way we work being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic\, cyber threats are on the rise. Now that nearly all firms are working 100% remotely\, hackers are increasingly creative. Aside from the inability to adequately monitor VPN access points and usage of equipment\, the fear and distraction due to the virus and the lock-down measures\, create a perfect backdoor into computer systems.\n\nCompanies need to be better prepared and deploy more sophisticated strategies and solutions to protect their business and to consistently analyze if their systems were intruded in order to avert a later attack.\n\nThis program brings together Cyber Security experts and practitioners from the US and Europe to address issues such as Hacking Trends & Tools of the Trade on both sides of the Atlantic; Cyber-Regulation in the EU & US; Prevention & Breach Management; Internal Preparedness Soft spots; and more.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”REGISTER” style=”flat” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/3215894060938/WN_FgETqHV6QHShhAf91ogiyg||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:STRANDED IN THE USA OR EUROPE? COVID-19 TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]COVID-19 TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS\n\nImpact on foreign business travelers\, executives and their employers\n\nCOVID-19 has left visitors\, business travelers and executives stranded in their country of destination – be it in Europe or the United States – and potentially subjecting those individuals and their employers to that nation’s income tax. Likewise\, employers confronted with stranded foreign employees on temporary missions must handle any consequences of over-staying a visa or a temporary work contract in compliance with immigration and employment laws. Some countries have relaxed some of these rules while others have yet to provide the necessary guidance.\n\nJoin us for a discussion of some of those situations and the various relief measures introduced and how they work. We will be having a closer look at the implications for employers and individuals in the United States and Europe.\n\n \n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:\n\nTaxation of Employers and Individuals\n\n 	What are the taxation rules in the United States?\n 	What are the current relief measures in the United States?\n 	What are the common taxation rules in Europe?\n 	What is the effect of the OECD recommendations?\n 	Can these stranded Individuals give rise to a permanent establishment of the Employer?\n 	Have any remedies been applied by countries?\n\n \n\nImmigration\n\n 	What can I do if I am unable to depart the U.S. before my authorized period of admission expires?\n 	What are acceptable ‘business visitor’ activities?\n 	Due to the impact of COVID-19 on business operations\, employers are dealing with layoffs\, furloughs\, or termination of employees.  How does this impact employees on nonimmigrant work visas?\n 	I planned on going to the U.S. Consulate abroad to apply for a new visa stamp.  Can I still go?\n\n \n\nSPEAKERS:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”32749″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Curtis Best is a Managing Director in Andersen Tax’s New York Office.

SUMMARY:The U.S. Wayfair Decision: Untangling the Web of U.S. Sales Tax and What European Businesses Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, more and more businesses transactions are being taken online. When selling goods or services into the United States\, you may have to collect sales tax for that transaction in each state your client resides.\n\nNo longer do you need to have a physical presence – or “nexus” – in the U.S. to be sales tax obligatory. It all started with the U.S. Supreme Court decision South Dakota v. Wayfair on June 21\, 2018. The so called Wayfair Decision allows states to mandate that businesses with more than 200 transactions or $100\,000 in-state sales\, collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state\, whether the business has a physical presence in the state or not. The new law rather allows the state to tax businesses based on the customer’s location and the amount of sales\, not the location of the business. Many states followed South Dakota\, resulting in a collection of similar but at the same time wildly varying tax laws apply and doing business in the U.S. all of a sudden feels like doing business in “50 different countries”.\n\nRegister now to find out what the U.S. Wayfair Decision means for European businesses in the United States and how the legislation affects businesses across the country.\n\n \n\n[vc_btn title=”REGISTER” style=”flat” color=”primary” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8115880791858/WN_31ay7lM2Qlmo8XvW11cFsA||target:%20_blank|”]

SUMMARY:Data Protection -- California's CCPA and the EU's GDPR
DESCRIPTION:Please click here to view the Webinar.\nWhat U.S. and European Companies Need to Know\, Especially as Companies And Their Staff Go “Virtual” for an Indefinite Amount of Time\n\nDo you have data protection concerns? Does the CCPA apply to you? How does it differ from the GDPR\, the EU’s data protection regime? Can you prepare for both at the same time? Do “exemptions” in the CCPA for healthcare\, financial services\, and non-profit corporations mean that the new law is of no consequence in these sectors? Are there other state laws which mirror or differ from the requirements of the CCPA or the GDPR?\n\nIf you are a European company doing business in the United States with offices here or any company with questions about these data protection regimes\, this Webinar is for you! It will offer an introduction into the new California Consumer Privacy Act\, how it impacts European and US companies doing business in the United States\, what similarities / differences exist with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and more. In fact\, as we all “go virtual” for an indefinite amount of time\, understanding these two regimes might become more important than ever!\n\nSPEAKERS:\nKate Black | Shareholder | Greenberg Traurig (Miami)\nBrian Kint | Partner | Cozen O’Connor (Philadelphia)\nCécile Martin | Managing Partner | Ogletree Deakins International (Paris)
