Representative Actions Directive In Different Jurisdictions

Thursday 23 May 2024, 13:00-14.00 CET | EMEA Dbriefs Legal

Host: Eduardo Villellas

Presenters: Mihnea Galgotiu-Sararu, Paolo Terrile, Francis Bellen, Robert Griffiths

The Directive 2020/1828 on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers has already been transposed in many EU Member States and is in the process of being transposed in other countries. The Directive improves consumers’ access to justice whilst it also foresees appropriate safeguards to avoid abusive litigation. Our panel will look at some of the countries where the Directive has already been transposed – UK, Romania, Italy and Germany. How might this affect your organisation? We’ll discuss:

• What to expect from these kinds of disputes
• Managing them in the most efficient and effective way
• Steps that can be taken now

Keep up to date with this changing environment. This webcast will be the first in a series looking at this type of litigation in different jurisdictions and will be of particular interest to legal counsels and in-house lawyers whose companies are present in several European jurisdictions and in the UK.

Strategic social dialogue | Tips & tricks to transform your social dialogue into an asset for your company

Deloitte Legal seminar | multiple dates and locations

As the social elections draw near, it is important to prepare for the new social consultation bodies that will soon be in installed. Some employee representatives may have years of experience, while others may be entering a completely new world of social dialogue. To ensure well-managed and constructive social dialogue, it is essential to set the right foundation from the start. This requires a deep understanding of the tasks and responsibilities of different social dialogue bodies, as well as the powers of employee representatives and trade union delegates. It is also important to know how to resolve common sources of social conflicts.

That is why we are delighted to invite you to our "Strategic Social Dialogue" seminars that will equip you with the necessary knowledge to start off on the right foot. During our seminar, we will elaborate on:

1. the first points of action following the social elections (installation meeting and internal regulations);
2. the effective powers and limitations of the social bodies to ensure that the social dialogue remains focused and within the legal outlines;
3. by sharing best practices amongst attendants help you leave existing practices and build a connection with the social partners to avoid an us-versus-them mentality; and
4. defuse any potential social conflicts.

We believe that these seminars will provide valuable insights and practical guidance for establishing and maintaining successful social dialogue in your organization.

The EU Deforestation Regulation: is your company ready?

Tuesday June 4 2024, 11.00-12.00 CEST | Deloitte Legal Webinar

Why participate?

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies to ensure that certain commodities and products imported into, within or out of the EU are deforestation free and in accordance with local laws in the country of origin. To ensure compliance, companies will need to conduct extensive diligence on the value chain. If your company is involved in the production or trade of any of the 7 key commodities (cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya and wood), it could be impacted by the EUDR. During this one-hour webinar, we will provide crucial insights into the EUDR’s requirements. With the deadline for compliance, i.e. 30 December 2024, swiftly approaching, now is the time to ensure your company is fully prepared.

In the webinar we will discuss :

• The scope of application of the EUDR;
• The due diligence requirements for operators and traders of in-scope goods;
• The timeline for entry into force of the requirements;
• Possible consequences of non-compliance;
• How to prepare your company for EUDR compliance.

Register now to secure your place and ensure your company is ready to meet its obligations under the EUDR.
