Oded Har-Even, Partner, Sullivan & Worcester LLP

The disruption to global business caused by the coronavirus pandemic has forced us to change the way we operate, but it has also highlighted the importance of certain fundamental best practices. Looking back to March, consensus viewed the pandemic as temporary, with the return to normalcy expected within several months. However, as we enter July, the crisis continues to cripple the world with no end in sight. As a result, issuers and capital market participants need to operate and do business differently.  

We will discuss various aspects of the U.S market and how it was impacted by Covid-19. Our board members will review the following topics:

·      Capital raise of public and private companies

·      M&A industry

·      Investor communication

·      Regulatory changes implemented by leading exchanges

We will provide a general overview and also drill down on how Israeli companies and management teams have operated during this period. We hope that you will find the discussion insightful and we welcome your participation, live questions and feedback.

Speaker: Amir Tibon, Washington, D. C. Correspondent for Haaretz

For the first time in Israel's 70-year history, the country has gone to three elections in the course of less than a year. What are the roots of this political and legal crisis? Why has no solution emerged? And could Israel's internal rifts lead to even a fourth or fifth election? Join us for a conversation with award-winning Israeli journalist Amir Tibon, the Washington correspondent for Haaretz newspaper, who will talk about how social and religious divisions in Israel are shaping the country's fractured political system. Amir spoke with IBF last year ahead of Israel's "first" election of 2019; he will return on again to talk about the latest events in the country - and what comes next.
