International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

April 2025 Executive Order Targets Prescription Drug Price Reduction
On April 15, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Lowering Drug Prices by Once Again Putting Americans First.” The subject matter of this executive order criss-crosses considerable policy ground in the overall U.S. pharmaceutical distribution chain. The executive order sets forth the administration’s statement of objectives to reduce prescription medication costs by promoting competition and eliminating practices that lead to high drug prices. Referencing regulatory and policy actions from the first Trump administration and the Biden administration’s policy steps, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 aimed at lowering prescription drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries, the executive order sets forth a broad agenda to impact Medicare prescription drug costs, including in the Medicare Part D program.[1] The order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to propose and seek comment on guidance for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program and collaborate with Congress to align the treatment of small molecule drugs with biological products, citing concerns about industry investment distortions and cost increases for Medicare and its beneficiaries.[2]

ESG, or environmental, social, and governance (ESG), Investing refers to the making of investment decisions by environmental and/or socially conscious investors based on a set of standards or requirements for a company’s behavior. Environmental criteria consider how a company protects the environment, including corporate policies addressing climate change. Social criteria examine how a company values and supports relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and its local communities. Governance deals with, among other things, a company’s leadership, executive compensation, and shareholder rights.

ESG in finance can refer to, among other things, financing tools such as Green, Social, and Sustainability Bonds and similar ESG-related debt instruments, as well as the separate discipline of ESG Investing. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Investors are increasingly applying these non-financial factors as part of their analysis to identify ESG-related risks and opportunities in particular investments. ESG metrics have not historically been included in financial reporting, though companies are increasingly making disclosures in their annual report or in a standalone sustainability report, and regulatory requirements for such disclosures, including from the SEC, are expanding.

A pre-IPO placement is a late-stage offering to raise funds by a company in advance of its initial public offering. The investors are typically private equity firms, hedge funds, and other large institutional investors. Due to the size of the investments and the significant risk, the investors typically receive a discount from the price in the eventual IPO. Individual investors rarely participate in pre-IPO placements. They are generally restricted to high-net-worth individuals with a sophisticated knowledge of the financial markets. For the company, the placement is a way to raise funds and offset the risk that the IPO will not be as successful as hoped.
