The EU-US Privacy Shield and the Future of Trans-Atlantic Data Transfer

  The European Court of Justice’s Schrems decision last year called into question the continued ability of companies to transfer data without consent from the EU to the US. Since then, the European Commission and the US Government have negotiated a new EU-US Privacy Shield to replace the invalidated Safe Harbor, but whether the Privacy Shield adequately addresses the ECJ’s concerns remains to be seen. This talk will evaluate the Privacy Shield from both American and European perspectives. Felix Wu is a Professor of Law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City, where he is also the Faculty Director of the Cardozo Data Law Initiative. He brings his background in computer science, including a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley, to his research and teaching at the intersection of information law, data privacy, freedom of speech, and intellectual property. He has previously written about the limits of online intermediary immunity, on understanding the role of data de-identification in law, and on the relationship between data privacy and theories of free expression. Professor Wu received his A.B., summa cum laude, in computer science from Harvard University, and his J.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. Prior to teaching at Cardozo, he was an associate first at Covington & Burling in San Francisco and later at Fish & Richardson in Boston, and he clerked for Judge Sandra L. Lynch of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He is a member of the Order of the Coif and Phi Beta Kappa.

Managing Transnational Groups: a Director’s Role and Skills in the Global Arena

Geopolitical and regulatory risks have become top concerns for global boards. In addition, the meltdowns over the past years have increasingly sent a message to directors: you must become active and engage in quality growth strategies. Global risk is complex, to say the least. And the complexity of it is underlined by key local liabilities and protections. In an environment where global risk oversight and engagement in strategic thinking are a priority, boards must set a global culture to allow efective implementation of the thinking on top, as well as set clear processes for assessing and managing risk from bottom up. How is this complex set of priorities to be achieved by companies and their boards? This second symposium of the KPMG “Professorship in International Corporate Governance” aims to explore the opportunities and challenges for directors serving in a transnational group, with the participation of qualifed leading fgures from the legal, business, financial and communication world.

Women on Board for Change?

La France a adopté le système des quotas pour accroître la représentation des femmes dans les Conseils d’Administration (20% en 2014, 40% en 2017). La conférence organisée par l’ICG Professorship a proposé une nouvelle grille de lecture et exploré trois bonnes pratiques issues d’autres pays européens et des USA pour y déceler les leçons à en tirer pour accélérer l’accession des femmes en France aux postes de direction tout en réalisant la diversité culturelle, sociale et des parcours.  

Le Whistleblowing : perspectives croisées

Depuis l’adoption de la loi américaine Sarbanes-Oxley en 2002, le Whistleblowing est devenu un instrument incontournable tant aux Etats-Unis qu’en Europe. Il est pourtant perçu de façon différente selon les cultures dans lesquelles il s’insère et se trouve de ce fait souvent incompris et difficilement transposable, en particulier en France.
