Nordic Newsletter

Happy New Year and Welcome to Covington & Burling's Nordic Newsletter!

Our Nordic Newsletters focus on recent legal developments that we believe are of interest to our Nordic clients and contacts doing business around the world. Over the years, Covington & Burling and its attorneys have advised numerous Nordic clients in connection with transactional, regulatory and litigation matters, as well as general counseling, with respect to their ongoing global operations. We apply our experience and market knowledge of the Nordics to select the most relevant items for inclusion in our Nordic Newsletters and aim to provide you with only what we think is of real interest to you.

In this edition, we compiled articles published by Covington lawyers discussing, among others:

• Recent developments in the US artificial intelligence regulatory framework in the context of national security.
• Likely trends in U.S. tech and media regulation under the Trump administration.
• Recent enforcement actions of the SEC’s whistleblower rules concerning employee agreements.
• The new US Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Act competition notification requirements.
• Recent EU developments on the GDPR’s “legitimate interests” legal basis, and;
• A comparison of UK and U.S. trends on employee non-compete clauses.
