Sheppard Mullin's Nota Bene is a horizon-scanning podcast targeted at the C-suite that explores the risks facing multinationals doing business without borders. Multinational businesses have always been affected by major developments in international trade, global risk, and geopolitical shifts. The importance of these issues is increasing every day in light of events such as the U.S.-China trade war, the global response to the war in Ukraine, and the risks posed by rogue state actors such as Iran and North Korea. In order to provide actionable insights into global law and policy developments, Sheppard Mullin has relaunched Nota Bene, which was in hiatus in 2022. In this very special episode, former host Michael P.A. Cohen offers his reflections and insights as he prepares to retire and hand over the hosting reins to Sheppard Mullin international lawyer Scott Maberry, who also holds the distinction of being Michael's first and favorite Nota Bene guest.   What We Discussed in This Episode:    What inspired Michael to create Nota Bene? How has the world trade order changed since the launch of Nota Bene? Why did Michael tap Scott as his first Nota Bene guest?  What were Michael’s favorite episodes, and what made those particular episodes so special? What is the vision for Nota Bene going forward?    About Michael P.A. Cohen For more than thirty years, Michael P.A. Cohen has advised multinational businesses in all aspects of their cross-border competition practices and strategies. He's also defended those practices in global government investigations and enforcement actions spanning continents.    As the creative force behind Sheppard Mullin's Nota Bene podcast, Michael hosted all 156 episodes produced from its inception in 2018 through 2021. Already an accomplished artist and poet, he's looking forward to devoting more time to his writing and painting pursuits in retirement.   About J.

Nota Bene Episode 157: Analyzing Risks and Opportunities Facing Multinational Companies with Michael P.A. Cohen and Scott Maberry

In this recap episode, I’m extracting the valuable lessons shared by our guests in the prior 5 episodes. I offer my two cents about the practical advice shared by our guests to help the C-Suite understand the legal, political, and economic underpinnings impacting the 21st Century intercontinental business landscape in which they operate. In Episode 25, we were brought up to speed on privacy laws by Liisa Thomas. Liisa discussed the importance of identifying how data collected can best be used (and not simply kept safe). Liisa covered the newly minted CCPA in California and GDPR in the European Union and explained the uptick in enforcement by administrations in various states across the country. We explored the prohibitive nature of the density of emerging privacy laws. In Episode 26, I spoke with Oliver Heinisch, and we discussed the latest updates on the state of Brexit and addressed the question of whether or not there will be a deal. Since the airing of this episode, matters have not improved in the United Kingdom as there is still no deal regarding Brexit.  In Episode 27, we were joined by Luca Salvi who shared his insight on the gangbuster state of merger and acquisitions and private equity markets. Luca explained the current attractive state of affairs for investors who are looking to place their money somewhere - something to note if you’re looking to invest. In Episode 28, we explored the California cannabis industry with Christopher Sabec. Christopher, along with building quite the career in entertainment as the manager for The Dave Matthews Band as well as Hanson, established his expertise in cannabis law. Chris shared his insight on the new California cannabis regulations taking effect this year and explained what companies should know regarding licensing in this space.  In Episode 29, we discussed establishing effective corporate compliance programs with Jim McGinnis. Jim expressed the importance of compliance since compliance regulations appear in every industry and reach every dimension of doing business. Jim emphasized the need for businesses to pay attention to assembling strong corporate compliance programs and actively complying with them. Thank you for listening!
