Dr. Neda von Rimon (LL.M.) ist seit März 2022 die Head of Corporate Office bei About You in Hamburg und wurde von der JUVE in dieser Position als „40 unter 40“ ausgezeichnet. Sie hat damit eine zum damaligen Zeitpunkt neu geschaffene Position in einem Unternehmen übernommen, das für eine diverse und offene Kultur steht. Zuvor war sie über 6 Jahre Rechtsanwältin bei Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer im Team von Dr. Christoph Seibt. Während der Corona Pandemie widmete Neda sich (wieder) vermehrt dem Thema Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, u.a. auch mit ihrem eigenen Podcast „Highway to Growth“, in dem sie mit ihrer Kollegin Susann Brackmann spannende Persönlichkeiten zu genau diesem Thema interviewt hat, um von ihnen zu lernen. Hieraus entwickelte sich ihr Wunsch, ihre Karriere noch einmal aus einer völlig neuen Perspektive zu betrachten. Wie der Zufall es so wollte, bot einer ihrer Interviewgäste aus dem Podcast ihr in der Folge die Position auf Unternehmensseite bei About You an. Seit ihrem Wechsel hat sich für Neda einiges geändert und sie steht nachhaltig für eine wertschätzende, offene und moderne Unternehmenskultur und ein ebensolches alltägliches Miteinander ein. Unser Dialog wurde von diesen drei Adjektiven geprägt und wir haben ausführlich darüber gesprochen, wie wir als Jurist:innen unseren Leistungsethos in einer neuen Arbeitswelt zu unseren Gunsten verändern können – aber auch sollten.

Diesmal zu Gast bei LWYRD!: Dr. Jan Wildhirth, der Gründer und Geschäftsführer von Fieldfisher X - heute mit Video! Jan und ich haben uns in Hamburg persönlich zusammen und vor die Kamera gesetzt, um seinen Werdegang und all die vielen Impulse aufzugreifen, die Jan mir und meinen Zuhörer:innen mitgegeben hat.  Jan ist nicht nur ein guter Freund und langjähriger Wegbegleiter, sondern vor allem ein erfahrener Anwalt, Legal-Tech-Unternehmer und ist Anfang 2022 als erster Partner für Legal Technology und Operations bei Fieldfisher eingestiegen. Nach früheren Stationen als Rechtsanwalt bei Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, bei der Axel Springer SE, wo er als COO der Digitalberatung "Axel Springer hy" tätig war, und zuletzt als Gründer des Rechtsdienstleisters eagle lsp, bringt er langjährige Erfahrung in der Entwicklung und erfolgreichen Anwendung digitaler Geschäftsmodelle sowie der Beratung von Unternehmen bei der Verteidigung in Massenprozessen mit. Von der JUVE wurde er als einer der „40 unter 40“ für seinen Mut und seine Innovationskraft ausgezeichnet. Wir haben uns miteinander einen ausführlichen Überblick über den Rechtsmarkt von fast allen Seiten verschafft, untersucht, was unser Markt warum jetzt braucht und welche Potentiale wir vor allem nicht ungenutzt liegen lassen sollten. Jan gelingt dieser Ansatz ohne den erhobenen Zeigefinger, denn er schaut mit seiner gelungenen Mischung aus rechtlicher und unternehmerischer Herangehensweise sowie mit seinen eigenen innovativen Ideen dahin, wo wir in Deutschland als Jurist:innen die echte Chance haben, all das Gelernte umzusetzen, zu gestalten, aber auch zu skalieren und so neue Möglichkeiten für die Herausforderungen unserer digitalisierten und regulierten Marktlandschaft aufzubauen. Herzlichen Dank, lieber Jan, für Deine Zeit, Deine wertvollen Impulse und den Perspektivenwechsel! Besonderer Dank gilt der @Bucerius Law School und dem @Bucerius Alumni e.V. für die technische Unterstützung und die Bereitstellung des Video-Studios.

Tegen grote techbedrijven als Apple en Google en grote autoproducenten als Opel en Volkswagen zijn massaclaims ingediend. Als consument kun je je daar vrij makkelijk bij aansluiten. Vier jaar geleden heeft Nederland een nieuwe wet ingevoerd, die dit soort massaclaims makkelijker maken. Hoe pakt dat in de praktijk uit? Presentator Hans van der Steeg gaat daarover in gesprek met: * Koen Rutten, hij is voorzitter van de Vereniging Massaschade Advocaten, die deze week wordt opgericht. Hij staat aan de kant van de indieners van massaclaims. * En met Mijke Sinninghe Damsté (van advocatenkantoor Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer), zij staat als advocaat bedrijven bij die te maken krijgen met een massaclaim.

This week, Byfield Joint Managing Director Michael Evans joins Meg to discuss the SRA cracking down on anti-money laundering failures and on firms falsifying asylum and human rights claims. They also discuss the implication of the latest Supreme Court judgment on litigation funding, whether the legal industry will adopt workcations and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer's decision to no longer share their financial results publicly.

Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer ist eine global tätige Anwaltskanzlei. Im April 2023 bezogen 170 Mitarbeiter:innen das neu renovierte Bürogebäude in der Wiener Innenstadt. Warum das für den Kunstblick wichtig ist? Der Österreicher Peter Jellitsch hat die künstlerische Gestaltung des Gebäudes übernommen und hat dazu ein Werk geschaffen, welches das gesamte Gebäude umspannt. Breite Pinselstriche schlängeln sich von Etage zu Etage. Dazwischen sieht man auch mehrere Werke auf Leinwand sowie einige Zeichnungen des Künstlers an den Wänden. Und auch in den Büros hängt eine eigene Freshfields-Edition des Künstlers. Uns hat Peter Jellitsch eine exklusive Tour durch das Anwaltsbüro gegeben. Im Anschluss sprachen wir dann mit ihm über seine Kunst, Malerei und Zeichnung sowie Kunst am Bau gesprochen. Viel Vergnügen! P.S. Einige Fotos zu dem Projekt findet ihr auch auf unserer Webseite.

The moment the starting signal rang out at Salford Quays in Greater Manchester on Saturday, three dragon boats swiftly surged forward, with paddlers unleashing powerful strokes in sync with the pulsating beats set by drummers at the front of the boats.6月17日，在大曼彻斯特的索尔福德码头，发令声一响，三艘龙舟迅速向前划行，选手们伴随着鼓点有节奏地奋力划桨。As the boats drew closer to the finish line, the cheers, drumbeats and paddle splashes grew louder, echoing through the refreshing summer air.随着龙舟接近终点线，欢呼声、鼓声和划桨声响彻云霄，回荡在夏日清新的空气中。Up to 40 amateur teams of students, companies, and local social entities like Manchester Museum competed in the race, which was part of this year's UK Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, an event that has gained popularity in the country and across Europe.2023全英中华端午龙舟会是英国庆祝中国端午节的一项活动，该活动深受英国乃至欧洲民众的欢迎。今年的活动吸引了40支由学生、公司和当地社会组织（如曼彻斯特博物馆）组成的业余队伍前来参加。As the ninth edition, this year's event spans two days with an amateur race on the first day and a contest of professional teams on Sunday.今年是第九届全英中华端午龙舟会，本届活动为期两天，6月17日举行业余比赛，6月18日举行专业比赛。"It's lovely to have all these different generations, different people, different communities and organizations coming together. It was fantastic that they were doing it while also learning about other cultures," Esme Ward, director of Manchester Museum, told Xinhua after the race.比赛结束后，曼彻斯特博物馆馆长埃斯梅·沃德在接受新华社采访时表示：“我很欣慰看到不同的世代、不同的人、不同的社区和组织聚集在一起参加活动。他们既能参加活动也能从中学习其他文化，这太棒了。”"Having a dragon boat race in Britain means a lot since it merges the British people's enthusiasm for boat rowing and Chinese Dragon Boat Festival traditions," Wang Mingchu, assistant professor in International Business at the University of Greenwich, said to Xinhua.格林威治大学国际商务专业助理教授王明初（音译）在接受新华社采访时表示:“在英国举办龙舟比赛意义重大，融合了英国人对龙舟的热情和中国端午节的传统。”Dragon boats are typically decorated with Chinese dragon heads at the front of the boats and tails at the back. There are usually 8 to 20 paddlers sitting in pairs on a boat, along with a steersperson navigating the boat near the dragon tail and a drummer beating the rhythm against the head.典型的龙舟前面装饰着中国龙头，后面装饰着龙尾。通常有8到20名桨手成对地坐在船上，一名舵手在龙尾附近掌舵，一名鼓手在龙头击鼓。The drum beating has left a deep impression on many spectators, such as the family of five-year-old Logan from Manchester. They found out about the event online and decided to pop on to see what the race was like.鼓声给许多观众留下了深刻的印象，来自曼彻斯特的5岁洛根一家在网上发现了本次活动，并决定前往现场观看。"It definitely seemed a lot more coordinated, a lot more intense with the drumbeats," said Tracey, Logan's mother.洛根的母亲特蕾西说:“龙舟看起来确实很协调，鼓点也更加强烈。”Cameron Maxwell, a novice paddler with the Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer team, told Xinhua that teamwork was a key element in the race that showcases the spirit of the sport.英国富而德律师事务所的新桨手卡梅隆·麦克斯韦尔告诉新华社，团队合作是比赛的关键，展现了赛龙舟的精神。"I was extremely impressed with how synchronized we were. A couple of times, we got a bit wet bashing each other, but overall, I thought we were pretty smooth about how we went about," Maxwell said.麦克斯韦尔说：“协调性给我留下了深刻的印象，虽然有几次我们被打湿了，但总体来说，我认为我们合作得很顺利。”Originating in China thousands of years ago, dragon boat race is one of many traditions in celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival, which commemorates the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month of the Chinese calendar.农历五月初五的端午节是为了纪念中国爱国诗人屈原(约公元前340-278年)而设立的节日，其中，赛龙舟是中国端午节的习俗之一，距今已有几千年的历史。The festival, now a national holiday in China, falls on June 22 this year. People always enjoy Zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) during the day.如今，端午节已成为中国法定节假日，今年的端午节是6月22日。人们通常在端午节享用粽子(一种糯米团子)。In the weekend's event here, local guests can also have a bite of Zongzi along with other traditional Chinese cuisines at some booths set up on-site.在周末的活动中，当地游客可以在现场设置的摊位上品尝粽子和其他中国传统美食。"We have a full team of people who are new to Dragon Boat Festival," noted Arun Ghosh, CEO of Ghosh Medical Group, who took part in the boat race. "We're now experiencing China on a much bigger scale," he said.参加龙舟比赛的高希医疗集团首席执行官阿伦·高希说:“我们有一支团队参加了赛龙舟，团队成员此前都不了解端午节，现在我们正在全方位体验中国。”In addition to the race and food, the event also featured a series of performances, including dragon dance, lion dance and chorus shows, many of which were presented jointly by Chinese and British performers.除了比赛和美食，活动现场还举行了丰富多样的表演，包括舞龙、舞狮和合唱，许多表演由中英两国表演者合作完成。"Promoting learning, understanding, and appreciation of cultures and diversity is really important for our self-development, and it widens our horizons, challenges how we might see things in the world. More importantly, it (the event) brings people together in a common aim around how we celebrate community and differences ... in challenging circumstances," Paul Dennett, Salford's mayor, told Xinhua. “索尔福德市直选市长保罗·丹尼特在接受新华社采访时表示：“对于自我发展而言，学习、理解和欣赏文化和多样性非常重要，它拓宽了我们的视野，挑战了我们看待世界的方式。更重要的是，这一活动让大家聚集在一起，在充满挑战的环境中庆祝社会和差异。”This year's event was organized by Xinhua Chinese Association in partnership with Salford City Council and British Dragon Boat Racing Association.本届活动由英国新华联谊会、英国索尔福德市政府和英国龙舟竞赛协会联合举办。"By attracting more people to participate in the event, we hope we can benefit the exchanges between Chinese and British cultures and thus contribute to building a society that values and embraces cultural diversity," Yang Hanxin, chairman of Xinhua Chinese Association, said.新华联谊会会长杨汉新表示:“我们希望更多人参与到本次活动中，促进中英两国文化交流，为建立文化多样性的社会作出贡献。”Celebrate英 /ˈselɪbreɪt/美 /ˈselɪbreɪt/v.庆祝Dragon英 /ˈdræɡən/美 /ˈdræɡən/n.龙Festival英 /ˈfestɪvl/美 /ˈfestɪvl/n.节日

On this day, June 13th, in legal history, the Supreme Court issued its landmark decision Miranda v. Arizona. In Miranda v. Arizona, the Supreme Court dealt with four cases involving interrogations of suspects in police custody. In each case, the defendants were questioned in a secluded room without being adequately informed of their rights. The interrogations resulted in oral and written confessions, which were used as evidence in the trials.The first case involved Ernesto Miranda, who was arrested at his home and interrogated by police officers for two hours. He confessed in writing to the crimes and was found guilty. The Supreme Court of Arizona initially upheld the conviction, but the Supreme Court later reversed it.In the second case, Vignera v. New York, Vignera was taken to multiple police stations, where he admitted to a robbery during questioning by an assistant district attorney. The confession was presented at trial, and Vignera was convicted. The conviction was upheld without an opinion by the appellate courts.The third case, Westover v. United States, involved Westover's arrest by local police in Kansas City. After local police interrogated him, FBI agents continued the questioning, resulting in separate confessions to two California robberies. These confessions were introduced as evidence, and Westover was convicted. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction.In the final case, California v. Stewart, the defendant was interrogated multiple times over five days before confessing to a robbery and murder. The statements were used in the trial, leading to Stewart's conviction and death sentence. However, the Supreme Court of California reversed the decision, stating that Stewart should have been advised of his rights.The main issue addressed by the Supreme Court was whether statements obtained through custodial interrogations should be admissible in court and if safeguards protecting the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination were necessary. The Court held that the privilege applies in all settings where a person's freedom of action is significantly restricted and that procedural safeguards are required.According to the Court, custodial interrogations create coercive pressures that can undermine a person's will to remain silent. As a result, defendants must be informed of their rights, including the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, and the right to have an attorney appointed if they cannot afford one.In its decision, the Supreme Court reversed the judgments of the lower courts in Miranda, Vignera, and Westover, and affirmed the judgment of the Supreme Court of California in Stewart.Facts and Case Summary - Miranda v. Arizona | United States CourtsFormer U.S. President Donald Trump is set to appear in a federal court in Miami to face charges that he violated the Espionage Act by retaining and mishandling classified documents, including top-secret nuclear information and war plans, after leaving office. This is an unprecedented indictment for a former president, with legal experts noting that the U.S. Justice Department has historically treated such cases as extremely serious. The government's challenge will be to demonstrate intent, a crucial element in state-secrets prosecutions. The indictment cites Trump's past statements about the importance of safeguarding classified information and contrasts them with a transcript of a recording where he allegedly acknowledged retaining a classified military plan. The case alleges that Trump unlawfully retained 31 documents with sensitive national security information and more than 300 documents with classified markings. The number and nature of the documents, coupled with allegations of obstruction, strengthen the government's case. Trump's former White House valet and aide, Walt Nauta, is also named as a co-defendant. Trump is facing multiple legal threats as he pursues a second term, including a New York state criminal case over hush money payments. Special Counsel Jack Smith, appointed to lead the federal prosecution, emphasized the importance of enforcing laws protecting national defense information.Trump to face charges in Florida court in classified documents case | ReutersTrump Heads to Court to Start Fighting Espionage Act ChargesJPMorgan Chase & Co. has agreed to pay $290 million to settle a lawsuit related to its alleged involvement with convicted serial offender Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking activities. The settlement resolves a proposed class action filed by an unnamed Epstein victim. While JPMorgan admits no liability, the bank acknowledges the mistake of any association with Epstein and expresses regret. The settlement does not fully resolve JPMorgan's legal issues, as it still faces a lawsuit by the US Virgin Islands and is engaged in litigation against its former private-banking head, Jes Staley. The settlement represents a step toward justice for Epstein survivors, according to their attorney. The case against JPMorgan was allowed to proceed as a class action, representing women who were abused or trafficked by Epstein during his accounts' tenure at the bank. Deutsche Bank, which took over as Epstein's main financial institution after JPMorgan severed ties, previously settled a similar lawsuit for $75 million. The US Virgin Islands continues its legal action against JPMorgan to prevent future involvement in human trafficking.JPMorgan Agrees to Pay $290 Million to Settle Epstein CaseThe Biden administration's Treasury Department and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have reached an agreement that removes tax regulatory actions from White House review. The memorandum of agreement, effective immediately, replaces a 2018 agreement made under the Trump administration. The new agreement exempts tax regulatory actions from the standard centralized review process of OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). Previously, tax regulations were not subject to OIRA review, but the 2018 agreement introduced OIRA reviews for tax regulations with certain criteria. The latest agreement aims to expedite the issuance of tax guidance, address backlogs, and facilitate prompt implementation of legislation. Some experts laud the decision, citing the flawed analysis and delays caused by OIRA reviews, while others express concerns about transparency and oversight. The change is seen as a move to streamline the tax-regulatory process and reduce controversy surrounding the review process.Tax Rules Exempt From White House Review Under New Pact (1)Law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer is expanding its presence in the United States by hiring a team of four partners from Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati. The group specializes in crisis and regulatory risk management, cybersecurity, and congressional investigations. Beth George, a former U.S. Department of Defense official, will lead Freshfields' newly formalized strategic risk and crisis management practice in Silicon Valley. The firm has also added Megan Kayo, a cybersecurity partner, in the same location. In Washington, D.C., Freshfields has welcomed Janet Kim and Andrew Dockham, who focus on regulatory enforcement defense and internal corporate investigations. The move is driven by the growing concerns of clients regarding global regulatory impacts and data breach concerns, as well as Freshfields' international reach and commitment in the United States. The firm has been actively expanding its U.S. presence, with recent hires from other law firms. Wilson Sonsini expressed well wishes for the departing lawyers, and Freshfields has a history of recruiting partners from Wilson Sonsini to build its California office.Freshfields is perhaps best known for being compelled to pay 10 million euros ($12.1 million) to settle a German case related to the Cum-Ex tax scandal and its involvement with now-defunct Maple Bank. Freshfields itself did not have to participate in the trial of its two former partners who were charged in the case. The Cum-Ex trades exploited German tax laws and resulted in significant lost revenue for the government.Law firm Freshfields keeps up US expansion with Wilson Sonsini team | ReutersFreshfields to Pay $12 Million to Settle German Cum-Ex Probe (1)The recent incident involving a lawyer's misuse of ChatGPT to write a brief and its cited case law serves as a cautionary tale not just for legal professionals, but also for tax professionals. The lawyer's mistake highlights the limitations of generative artificial intelligence (AI) but more to the point it is illustrative of the potential risks of relying on such technology without a solid understanding of its capabilities. Large language models like ChatGPT can be convincing but may lack factual accuracy. Given time, similar cautionary tales will play out in most industries. To illustrate the point, I created two hypothetical tax practitioners and their ill-advised AI ideas. In one case, an accountant uses ChatGPT to reformat data but inadvertently leaks personal information, resulting in a data breach. The lesson here is to never include sensitive information in prompts given to AI owned by third parties.In the second scenario, a preparer relies on ChatGPT's tax research and receives an incomplete and inaccurate response about alcohol sales tax in Massachusetts. This demonstrates the importance of understanding the nuances of tax law and not relying solely on AI models for accurate information.The proliferation of large language models with public-facing interfaces has changed the level of research proficiency expected from users. While search engines like Google can help determine the credibility of information sources, AI models like ChatGPT can present incorrect information with an air of expertise, making it difficult to discern their accuracy.When using language models for research, it is crucial to exercise caution and verify information from reliable sources. AI should be seen as a tool that requires human judgment and critical thinking to ensure accurate and reliable results. It is akin to using Google on “hard mode” – where the results are intentionally reformatted to appear authoritative.

This week, Korn Ferry Partner Funke Abimbola joins Meg to discuss how firms can ensure to be paid on time while accommodating clients facing financial pressures, whether the high salaries for junior lawyers are justified, and what firms and in-house teams can do to better embrace diversity, equity and inclusion at all career levels across the industry.

Keine Kanzlei der Welt hatte einen klangvolleren Namen als Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. Nun wurde sie schon vier Mal durchsucht. Was lief schief? Freshfields zahlt Einstiegsgehälter von 155.000 Euro. Wer bei dieser Kanzlei aufsteigt, wird fast automatisch Millionär. Großkonzerne und Regierungen rund um den Globus zählen auf ihren Rat. Wie konnte es dann passieren, dass ausgerechnet der weltweite Steuerchef von Freshfields der Beihilfe zur Steuerhinterziehung beschuldigt wurde? Im Podcast Handelsblatt Crime sprechen unsere Investigativ-Reporter heute über eine große Kluft. Über den Unterschied zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit bei einer der einst edelsten Adressen der Anwaltszunft. Freshfields‘ Wurzeln reichen bis ins Jahr 1743, beim Jubiläum in Hamburg erschien als Gastredner Olaf Scholz. Nun ist der Lack ab. Freshfields ist tief verstrickt in den Steuerskandal Cum-Ex. Ohne die Gutachten aus ihrer Feder wären vermutlich viele Geschäfte auf Kosten des Steuerzahlers nie zustande kommen. Selbst der berüchtigte Staranwalt Hanno Berger konnte anfangs gar nicht glaubten, was seine Freshfields-Kollegen bescheinigten: es sei möglich, eine einmal gezahlte Steuer zweimal zu erstatten. Berger arbeitete später mit Freshfields Hand in Hand. Bank für Bank, Investor nach Investor ließ sich davon überzeugen, die Utopie sei Wirklichkeit geworden: Geschäfte ohne Risiko. Mit hohem, garantiertem Gewinn. In diesem Podcast leuchtet Handelsblatt Crime eine Kanzlei aus, die immer schon die allerhöchsten Ansprüche vor sich hertrug, und nun vor den Trümmern ihrer steuerrechtlichen Beratung steht. Die Cum-Ex-Affäre hat Freshfields bereits viele Millionen Euro gekostet. Die ganz dicke Rechnung steht noch aus.

In this special holiday edition of B2B Marketing: The Provocative Truth, Benedict invites Barney O'Kelly and Komal Thadani to discuss and look back at the most provocative truths in B2B Marketing for 2022.Looking back at B2B Marketing in 2022, it's evident that we've made a lot of progress, but there's still more to do. According to alan.'s research, 82% of business decision makers still think B2B is boring and predictable. However, we also know that the appetite for change is much greater than it has been in previous years. The same study found 88% of business decision makers want a bolder and contrarian approach to B2B marketing. So what can we learn from the previous year that will propel us into a bright new future?Komal Thadani is the Marketing Campaigns Director at ServiceNow, and her previous experience includes working as Marketing Director - Small & Medium Business, Cloud Platform, JAPAC and Marketing Head - Open Cloud Infrastructure, Asia Pacific & Japan at Oracle, and Portfolio Marketing Leader, ASEAN and Channel & Digital Marketing, ASEAN & India at IBM, as well as positions at Accenture Services and Lowe Lintas.Barney O'Kelly is the Digital Marketing Director at AlixPartners, and his previous roles include Managing Director at Hagen Communications Ltd, Associate Contractor at Deloitte, Global Head of Communications at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Head of Communications, Strategic and Digital at BAE Systems.You can watch full video versions of the podcast on our YouTube channel.Ready to provoke the truth?

Find out more about this event on our website: https://bit.ly/3BYP25L It is currently fashionable to say that politics is now all about culture rather than economics. That transitioning sex matters more than transitioning nature of economies. That whether Brexit matters to you emotionally matters more than what its practical impacts are. And so on. However, this conventional wisdom is wrong. Younger people do feel different on many cultural issues, but this is largely downstream of the economic changes to their lives, not upstream of them. The most significant things that are changing younger people's attitudes (all over the Western world) are being driven by their economic experience since the financial crisis, and the lack of the political and economic establishment to address their problems; combined with a heavy dose of social media which makes the change seem much faster.

Wo liegt in diesen Konstellationen der Unterschied zwischen der strategischen Beratung am Mandat und der eigentlichen Fallarbeit?

Discover HEC Paris' top-ranked MBA Program [Show Summary] HEC Paris' top-ranked MBA Program is known for its entrepreneurial spirit, the strong representation of many cultures, and the rich alumni network that feels like family. Benoit Banchereau, MBA Admissions Director, explores what sets this program apart and how potential students can secure a spot. Benoit Banchereau, Executive Director, Marketing and Admissions at HEC Paris MBA programs shares what the program is looking for in applicants [Show Notes] It gives me great pleasure to have for the first time on Admissions Straight Talk, Benoit Banchereau. Benoit is the Executive Director of Marketing and Admissions at HEC Paris MBA programs. He earned two masters degrees from the Sorbonne in Paris, one in Bilingual Journalism and the other in Media and Communication. He also participated in INSEAD's International Marketing Program. He has worked in communications and marketing for companies like A.T. Kearney, Standard & Poor's, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer before joining HEC Paris in 2015 as Director of Marketing and Admissions. In 2019, he became the Executive Director of Marketing and Admissions for all of HEC Paris' MBA programs. Can you start by giving us an overview of HEC's three MBA programs? [2:17] We have a full-time MBA that takes place on the campus of Jouy-en-Josas. It's a 16-month program that students complete on-site. The Executive MBA program is between 15 and 18 months. It includes people who are generally above 35, and it's a part-time MBA. We have five flexible options. We have some modular intakes, weekend intakes, a bilingual intake in French and English, and an intake in Qatar where we have an office. Our program is very highly ranked in the Financial Times, it has the number one place. For the moment so far so good, but you can never stay too long in first place. Our TRIUM Executive MBA is a partnership with NYU and LSE, London School of Economics. It's a very special international offer that gives students the opportunity to belong to the three alumni communities from HEC, NYU, and LSE. Is the TRIUM Executive MBA a full-time program or a part-time program? [4:32] It's a part-time program with exactly the same target. In terms of population, it's more expensive than our Executive MBA at HEC. It really gives a special offer. It's usually between 50 and 60 participants so it's a very small cohort with people trying to get an international perspective. The alliance between HEC, NYU, and LSE is so valuable, especially at this time when we see that international relations are so important. It gives a very interesting approach, especially with our friends from LSE who can actually bring this to students. Can you zoom in on the full-time MBA program's more notable and distinctive elements? [6:05] What you're going to get from the full-time MBA is the quality of the courses that we provide with top professors. The way that it's structured is we have a fundamental phase that lasts eight months. Then it's followed by a customized phase that lasts another eight months. It could be an international exchange, it could be a specialization, it could be actually many things. It's really a la carte, which is very appreciated by participants because they can really design their own way of doing the MBA. The fundamental phase is compulsory for everyone. You can't actually choose corporate finance or not, marketing or not, operations or not. What we are trying to introduce during the MBA is learning by doing. We are really careful about that because you can attend a lot of conferences and speeches about leadership and you will probably enjoy it very much. But at the same time, it doesn't mean that you will be able to do it. I mean, you have been inspired, but are you able really to demonstrate on the ground that you can apply it? What have you learned? This is really what it's about.

Michelle Bramley, global head of knowledge, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, talks with Ian Welsh about evolving legislative requirements on modern slavery – and human rights more generally – across jurisdictions. The direction of travel, Bramley argues, is very much away from a voluntary reporting approach towards a mandatory duty to act. They discuss the evolving risks for business, and why even though companies may not individually have sufficient leverage to budge entrenched interests in their supply chain, they still must take all reasonable steps to identify and mitigate human rights abuses.

Stephanie Brown Cripps global sanctions counsel, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, talks with Ian Welsh about how governments – particularly the US – are increasingly using sanctions as tools to influence corporate behaviour on human rights and modern slavery. Brown Cripps outlines some of the civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed on business, and they discuss how companies can become inadvertently in breach of sanctions regulation.

This week: Mickael Blais from the French Alliance for Forest Protection talks to Toby Webb about how company commitments on deforestation across different commodities are changing.

Plus, Australia pulls back on emissions commitments, plastic pollution in SE Asia and the best jeans ever, in the news roundup. Hosted by Ian Welsh

Top down regulation pressure and a groundswell of litigation is increasing the pressure on companies to do more human rights. The legal landscapes for businesses regarding human rights are in flux. In this podcast, Michael Quayle, London-based associate at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and Innovation Forum's Ian Welsh discuss how legislation is driving this change, but why companies also need to consider growing litigation risks and complaints to OECD national contact points. Quayle outlines the more rigorous reporting requirements that companies are facing. New regulation in France, Australia and elsewhere means that companies are increasingly legally required to not only say more but, importantly, now do more about human rights as well. They discuss why companies are now being held accountable if they don't properly work towards achieving what they have said they will do.
