Overview
The US Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) final rule on bulk US sensitive data transfers aims to prevent or restrict the transfer of bulk US sensitive personal data to countries the US government deems high-risk. The rule, which took effect on April 8, 2025, introduces new compliance obligations and potential civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance, impacting data management and companies’ international operations.
In this webinar, members of McDermott’s cross-practice team will provide a comprehensive overview of the DOJ’s final rule and its practical implications for businesses.
Discussion topics will include:
- Foundations of the final rule and its key provisions
- Actionable guidance for effective implementation
- Key considerations for contractual arrangements in light of the new rule
- How the final rule ties to Chinese-related restrictions, including the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States’ inbound investments and proposed rules to limit government contracts
