Offshore wind across Asia is building momentum to the point that it warrants the Infra Dig spotlight to bring listeners up to speed with developments on the ground… more to the point... at sea.  IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville sits down to record a podcast with 2 Norton Rose Fulbright partners for a round-robin of the hottest markets across Asia, with a particular focus on those with greatest potential.  NRF partners Nick Merrit and Ben Carrozzi are the guests for this latest episode, bringing a wealth of experience from across the global – particularly Asian – renewable energy arena.  

Here, a BigLaw partner reflects on what we've learnt in the last year and a half from the Secure Jobs, Better Pay legislative changes and what it all means for the market moving forward. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Norton Rose Fulbright partner Alexandra Shields about her work in employment and labour law, the “human element” of such legal practice, what the recent Secure Jobs, Better Pay amendments are and why they were introduced, the key takeaways from the last 12 to 18 months following the passage of the amendments, and the issues and challenges that have arisen. Shields also delves into how best to respond to those issues and challenges, the more encouraging developments from the last 12 to 18 months, whether developments in the market can be attributed to the amended legislation, why changing the employment and labour market is a longer-term project, going by the “vibes”, how employers should respond to the current climate, considering their reputations, and what is best practice for lawyers in this space moving forward.

The complexity of cyber security implications for businesses, and therefore their lawyers, “has exploded” in the last few years, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) being used in such criminal activity cannot be understated. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Norton Rose Fulbright partner and Australian head of cyber security Annie Haggar to discuss how and why this year is so busy for cyber lawyers, the proliferation of election disinformation and misinformation and how this impacts cyber lawyers, how the nature of such legal work will continue shifting ahead of 2030, and how data breaches involving AI are changing the game. Haggar also delves into how businesses can navigate the threat of AI and its intersection with cyber security, whether this intersection is the next frontier for cyber lawyers, lessons from recent case law involving Medibank and an ASIC proceeding involving a financial services provider, and what the rest of the year looks like for lawyers in this space.

Australia recently passed an amended anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) bill that will soon include Tranche 2 entities in its regulatory regime. The result? Approximately 100,000 new entities under its scope. Regulating non-financial entities is not a new undertaking, as we've seen in countries like the UK, Singapore, and United Arab Emirates. Crucial to the success of the regime and overall client experience will be how Australian firms adopt the best practices shown by firms in other parts of the world, while ensuring they account for the nuances of their domestic market.In this episode of KYC Decoded, risk advisory lawyer, Jeremy Moller, from Norton Rose Fulbright and Qing Liu, Moody's Senior Director of Compliance & Third Party Risk in Australia, sit down with host Alex Pillow to discuss what the anticipated changes mean for Tranche 2 obliged entities and the future of compliance in Australia.Key topics:Introduction of the Tranche 2 regulationsChallenges and opportunities for firms implementing the reformsInternational comparisons of similar regimes, and opportunities for harmonizing regulationsAdditional resources:Register for Moody's in-person Sydney event on April 3 – the event features a blend of plenary and breakout sessions led by industry peers and Moody's financial crime practice lead.Law Council of Australia: AML/CTF Guidance and Vulnerabilities AnalysisLaw Society of New South Wales AML/CTF HubInformation on AUSTRAC's AML/CTF ReformNorton Rose Fulbright's Tranche 2 and AML/CTF Reforms HubVisit our website and get in touch to learn more – we would love to hear from you.

I'm your host, Allen Hall, here with Joel Saxum. And our guest today is David Burton. David is a partner at Norton Rose Fulbright, which is based in New York. David is an expert in US tax matters and has experience with structuring tax efficient transactions for renewable operations. David was a managing director and senior tax counsel at GE Energy Financial Services, where he oversaw all the aspects for more than 21 billion in global energy projects. David, welcome to the program. David Burton: Thank you, Allen. It's great to be here. Allen Hall: Okay. So the timing of this could not be better. And Joel and I were just up in Canada trying to explain to the Canadians what the IRA bill meant and why everybody is so confused as to what is happening in America. So we thought we'd bring in the expert to help us with understanding the, all the tax incentives that are built in. Built up into the IRA bill. I don't want to give you a couple of softballs to start with. How about that production tax credit? What is that in the IRA bill? And what does that mean? David Burton: It's $27.50 per megawatt hour for the first 10 years of production. If you transfer the project, the transferee steps into your shoes and does not get to restart the 10 year period. It's a pretty powerful tax credit to get the 2750 megawatt hour. There are requirements you have to meet that we call the fine print that regard prevailing wage and apprentice requirements, which we can get into. Allen Hall: That makes sense to me. That's a really good explanation. I have not heard explained that simply. Joel Saxum: That one's easy. I like that one. I can follow that. Allen Hall: All right. Investment tax credits. Let's raise the heat up a little bit. What is an investment tax credit? David Burton: The base of percentage for the investment tax credit is 30%. Again, you have to comply with prevailing wage and apprentice to even get to 30%. And it's a tax credit that accrues when the project is placed in service, basically operational. And it's 30 percent of a tax basis. Which, you know, more or less is 30 percent of the cost of the project. Rather than having to wait 10 years, you get all, you get the tax benefit all upfront. So, oftentimes the PTC may be a bigger gross amount but it's over 10 years, so sometimes you'll, you're not opt for the ITC because it's a better present value answer, but it's just a question of math. Joel Saxum: I want to touch one important thing here, and this is an important thing that I got from you, David,
