The Association of Insurance & Reinsurance Run-Off Companies and Mayer Brown are pleased to continue the tradition of our annual Deal Forum for the fifth year. Panelists will share their own experiences and insights, lessons learned, highlights and tips for success.
The Forum will begin with a new session presented by AIRROC’s NextGen Council, including Mayer Brown associate Juliana Toes, that will provide an overview to the runoff market and types of transactions that are in the legacy “toolkit.”
During the second half of the Forum, panels will cover the state of the market, including a discussion led by Mayer Brown partner David Alberts on the current runoff deal market and an interactive session with the audience led by Mayer Brown partner Vikram Sidhu. The final session will be chaired by Mayer Brown partner Stephen Rooney and feature senior level executives from the legacy space discussing deal trends and market highlights from 2022 and examining challenges and opportunities for 2023.

A proposed rule announced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) this year would amount to a near-total ban on non-compete agreements with workers. The FTC asserts that the practice is often exploitative, suppresses wages, hampers innovation, and blocks entrepreneurs from starting new businesses. Businesses that rely on non-competes, on the other hand, are raising concerns about protecting their confidential and proprietary information.
Please join us for a one-hour webinar in which we’ll answer these questions:
- What are the FTC’s next steps?
- What will recent Supreme Court jurisprudence mean for this rulemaking?
- Most importantly, what could this mean for your business?

Financial market participants increasingly rely on technological tools such as predictive data analytics, artificial intelligence/machine learning, differential marketing and game-like features to provide financial services to customers.

During this session hosted by Practising Law Institute, panelists Steffen Hemmerich and Tram Nguyen of Mayer Brown and Bryan Weaver of Fidelity Investments will discuss:
- Current market practices, tools and methods used to develop and implement DEPs (including the role of AI/ML)
- Regulatory challenges and enforcement actions

Join Mayer Brown and Economics Partners for the second of our two-part series taking an in-depth look at the current state of transfer pricing issues.
In our prior session, we focused on managing an IRS examination involving transfer pricing issues and described how careful preparation can lead to successful outcomes. But what happens when it doesn’t? Our second presentation tackles that question. We will discuss ways to avoid or resolve transfer pricing disputes. Along the way, we will deal with questions like:
- How can I use the APA or ICAP process proactively to achieve my transfer pricing goals?
- Is the traditional IRS Appeals forum the best path for me?
- What about all of these other resolution mechanisms I’ve heard about, like MAP and Simultaneous Appeals? What are the pros and cons of those?
- And what are the relative strengths of transaction and profit-based transfer pricing analyses in these processes?
For large organisations in both the private sector and government, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) play an increasingly vital role in enabling board members and senior executives to engage in appropriate cyber security risk management and ensure their organisations are able to operate effectively and remain nimble in response to a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape.
Join us for a fireside chat moderated by former Pentagon special counsel and Co-Lead of Global Cyber Incident Response at Mayer Brown, David Simon, for a discussion of leadership lessons from her trailblazing career in cybersecurity leadership, key challenges for cybersecurity leaders on the horizon, and what it means to be a technology leader and change maker in both public and private sectors.
