They also discuss practical considerations for companies dealing with compliance, due diligence, and investigations demands under the cloud of COVID-19. Our first social distancing Lightning Round also features some thoughts on the Sadr verdict in SDNY, the latest provocative actions by the U.S. targeting Venezuela and Nicaragua, and, finally, a few words on extradition.
