Global rules on foreign direct investment (FDI)
Cross-border acquisitions and investments increasingly trigger foreign direct investment (FDI) screening requirements.
Australia | Publication | December 2019
When it comes to questions of reputation in the workplace, the shadow of the Hayne Royal Commission hangs heavy over major Australian organisations.
In the year of Hayne’s landmark report on the conduct of Australian financial institutions, measuring, assessing and improving workplace culture has taken on new urgency and heightened feelings of exposure to reputational risk issues.
Norton Rose Fulbright surveyed 132 leaders across business and government between August and September 2019 to further its understanding of what reputational risk means to today’s organisations. The results of this research, taken together with the views gathered in our inaugural Reputational Risk Australia report in 2017, are detailed in this report.
The results clearly show a growing intensity of concern about workplace reputational issues. Major organisations are becoming both more sensitive to reputational risk and more willing to identify its key drivers.
To find out more about what reputational risk means to Australian organisations and benchmark your business against your peers, read our full report.

On February 2, 2024, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union confirmed that the Committee of Permanent Representatives had signed the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulation, referred to as the AI Act. Approval by the EU Parliament followed on 13 March 2024, and the AI Act is likely to appear in the EU’s Official Journal around May 2024. The AI Act aims to establish a stringent legal framework governing the development, marketing, and utilisation of artificial intelligence within the region, thereby marking a significant advancement in the regulation of this burgeoning domain.

The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Regulation, commonly referred to as the AI Act, is expected to come into force during the summer of 2024 (the AI Act). The AI Act will be the first comprehensive legal framework for the use and development of artificial intelligence (AI), and is intended to ensure that AI systems developed and used in the EU are safe, transparent, traceable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly.
