In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes David Simon, Partner at Foley & Lardner; Jack Korba, Of Counsel at Foley & Lardner; and Olivier Bustin, a Partner at Pinsent Masons, to discuss doing business in and with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This is the second part of a two-part series on this topic, in which they present a detailed approach to evaluating and managing travel to a high-risk country or region. They discuss how companies investing in high-risk jurisdictions like the Democratic Republic of the Congo should treat diligence as ongoing risk management, using tailored controls, audits, and continuous monitoring informed by geopolitical developments and government/regulatory priorities (including signals such as announcements and sector focus, such as critical minerals). The speakers emphasize pragmatism: accepting some ambiguity while designing jurisdiction-specific compliance frameworks, rather than placing standard programs on “autopilot” and maintaining active C-suite and board engagement. They stress building and documenting a rational, risk-tolerant decision process that can be explained to regulators (e.g., DOJ/SEC), including knowing counterparties and local dynamics, implementing real controls, and escalating decisions appropriately. Key pitfalls to avoid include overcommitting to projects beyond risk tolerance and entering transactions without sufficient preparation. The panel also urges compliance leaders not to be paralyzed by fear, to shape opportunities early, and to note market opportunities and signals of U.S. engagement, such as financing for the Lobito railway corridor.

But, before she could head to Aberdeen, the Renewable UK boss was in Manchester for her organisation's Global Offshore Wind event, where news reporter Mat Perry caught up with her.  Back to W:NE, Aberdeen Features lead Ryan Duff spoke with Heather Hutcheon from Pinsent Masons about AI in the energy sector after she appeared on the show's opening panel.  Heather explained how governance is important to deliver AI safely and effectively within the energy sector and reflected on the points made while she on stage at W:NE. Finally, Ryan caught up with BP Jera Nex, and POWEful Women's Katherine Descamps about the shocking results of a survey answered by the attendees of W:NE. Kathrine said "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade", but are we using the wrong recipe?  Listen to Energy Voice Out Loud: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oOm2X6UsU1eybnTCoBFJx Podbean: https://energyvoiceoutloud.podbean.com/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/it/podcast/energy-voice-out-loud/id1508117133 Follow Energy Voice: Website: https://www.energyvoice.com/ LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/energy-voice YouTube: https://www.facebook.com/energyvoicenews/ X: https://x.com/EnergyVoiceNews Follow Women in New Energy: LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/company/women-in-new-energy Featured in this episode: Women in New Energy 2026 returned to Aberdeen with conversations on offshore wind, AI governance, diversity, leadership and the future energy workforce.

In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes David Simon, Partner at Foley & Lardner, and Jack Korba Of Counsel at Foley & Lardner, and Olivier Bustin a Partner at Pinsent Masons about doing business in and with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This is the first part of a two-part series on this topic. The guests present a detailed manner to evaluate  and manage going into a high-risk country or region.   The three argue that while governance and logistics risks remain, improved infrastructure and heightened strategic importance of the DRC's critical minerals (including cobalt, coltan, lithium, manganese, and rare earths) make risks more manageable and the market more relevant, with noted U.S. government continuity across administrations. They discuss opportunities beyond mining, including power, logistics, banking/insurance, tech, entertainment, and education, while emphasizing infrastructure and bankability constraints. Korba outlines national security, sanctions/export controls, and supply chain “adjacency” risks, and the need for sector-specific analysis. The panel highlights “choke points” from concentrated power and weak institutions, and Bustin explains why local content/ownership rules and patronage dynamics require diligence beyond nominal ownership. They conclude with applying a risk-based compliance approach, devoting enhanced resources to higher-risk projects and counterparties.  Key Highlights  ·      Why DRC Now ·      Beyond Mining Opportunities ·      National Security Risks ·      Choke Points Explained ·      Local Ownership Diligence ·      Risk Based Compliance  Resources David Simon Jack Korba Olivier Bustin Foley & Lardner Pinsent Masons The Democratic Republic of the Congo as a Near-Term Strategic Opportunity for U.S. Companies Part 1 Part 2 Part 3   Tom Fox Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn   To learn about the intersection of Sherlock Holmes and the modern compliance professional, check out my latest book, The Game is Afoot-What Sherlock Holmes Teaches About Risk, Ethics and Investigations on Amazon.com Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when a 300-year-old law firm builds its future on client-led growth, global collaboration, and a culture that actually holds up across 29 offices?   Laura Cameron, Global Managing Partner of Pinsent Masons, shares how she won a contested election with a vision rooted in people, purpose, and progress. She explains why growth only works when clients lead the way, how culture becomes a selection tool, and why she tests every new hire for "chemistry" before skill. The conversation cuts through leadership theory to reveal what it really means to run a global firm, balancing expansion with consistency, and ambition with care.   Can a firm that old still move with agility? And how does a leader stay grounded while steering across continents and time zones? Laura answers both with candor, humor, and the kind of insight that makes longevity look anything but traditional.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Global Leadership at Pinsent Masons 02:47 Laura Cameron's Journey from Litigator to Managing Partner 10:14 Building a Unified Culture Across 29 Offices 14:02 The Future of Law: AI, Technology, and Private Capital 17:06 Leadership Advice for Aspiring Law Firm Partners 18:36 Geopolitical Risks and Global Operations 25:43 Why Pinsent Masons Is Expanding in China 27:13 The Future of the Legal Sector   Connect with Laura Cameron: Connect with Laura on LinkedIn Laura's Web Bio   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

The infrastructure sector is adopting AI with enthusiasm. A new whitepaper from Bentley Systems, Pinsent Masons, Turner & Townsend, and Mott Macdonald, The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Built Environment, surveyed the sector, and found the 48% of the infrastructure companies they spoke to were trialling AI, or had already implemented it. But only one fifth had a comprehensive AI policy, more than a third had no organisational policy, and 37% had only limited project controls, or none at all. As part of Bentley Systems Year In Infrastructure series of events, Mark Coates hosted a panel discussion on the white paper. Bringing together key members of the infrastructure sector—engineers, contractors, and lawyers—the panel discussed how infrastructure businesses can implement a project management approach to AI implementation. In this episode, Mark Coates joins us to examine some of the risks associated with AI adoption, and particularly of ‘stealth adoption', happening outside of organisational guardrails. The panel discussion members bring their own perspectives, explaining how AI can be used successfully now, and the organisational, data management, and contractual steps needed to ensure its safe, ethical, and efficient use across complex supply chains. Guests Mark Coates, vice president of infrastructure policy alignment, Bentley Systems Yeunjin (YJ) Kim, AI technical lead, group AI, Mott MacDonald Anne-Marie Friel, partner, infrastructure, Pinsent Masons Guy Beaumont, director, digital lead, Turner & TownsendResources The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Built Environment, PartnerInfrastructure is too big to fail, so you need AI you can trust.

In today's podcast we return to the vitally important, hugely complicated and normally highly emotive subject of planning reform.And help is (potentially) at hand in the form of the long awaited Planning and Infrastructure Bill which was published last week and heralded by government as providing “transformative reforms to get Britain building, tackle blockers and unleash billions in economic growth”.So who better to bring back to the Infrastructure Podcast to explain and chew over this potential new dawn of planning than Robbie Owen, infrastructure planning guru and Partner at law firm Pinsent Masons.The UK's planning system has long been a battleground between the need for economic growth and the challenges of bureaucracy, local opposition, and environmental concerns. As the government pushes forward with ambitious targets—building 1.5 million homes, upgrading transport networks, and accelerating clean energy projects—the speed at which infrastructure is planned and delivered has never been more critical.Yet, delays remain a persistent problem. As we know, major projects can take years to navigate the approvals process, with judicial reviews and lengthy consultations slowing progress. The proposed legislation includes changes to infrastructure planning, environmental impact assessments, and compulsory purchase powers  … and, as discussed on the podcast before Christmas, limits on the role of Judicial Reviews.But will these changes truly unlock growth, or are deeper structural issues being overlooked? And how can the planning system ensure that infrastructure projects not only proceed faster but also deliver better outcomes for communities and the environment? ResourcesThe Planning and Infrastructure BillThe Banner ReviewNational Infrastructure Planning AssociationNational Infrastructure CommissionPinsent MasonsAbout NISTAPodcast with Robbie Owen and the Hansard Society on Parliament's planning role.Episode 93 of The Infrastructure Podcast with Robbie Owen on the Banner Review

In December, the High Court of Australia overturned a 115-year-old precedent and determined that “sham” terminations can cause psychiatric injury. Here, we unpack the implications of this decision for businesses nationwide. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Pinsent Masons partner and head of employment law and reward (APAC) Aaron Goonrey about the expansiveness of legal work in this space, what the decision in Elisha v Vision Australia Ltd held, what was ordered and what it means moving forward. Goonrey also delves into the extent to which employment law is entering a grey area as a result of the decision, how it changes the landscape for employment lawyers across the country, and what will constitute best practice for lawyers in this space in 2025 and beyond.
