Fieldfisher's Tech and Data practice has been working with local counsel to track the implementation of NIS2 across Europe. In the fourth of our country law updates, we look at Latvia's implementing Act and some of the key points you need to know: 🔹 **The legislation** The National Cybersecurity Law is already in force with separate regulations to be adopted, which will further implement the requirements of the NIS2 Directive. 🔹 **Liability:** Upper management has ultimate responsibility for NIS2 compliance. 🔹 **Main Establishment Principle:** Latvia has broadly implemented the main establishment principle. However, there are additional criteria required in order for entities to take advantage of the main establishment principle that could be problematic Look out for more country updates from our team coming shortly to stay informed and ensure your organisation is compliant with the latest regulations.

💡🎙️ Rail infrastructure: A tale of two Africas In the final instalment of Fieldfisher's Africa Week 2024 podcast series, the spotlight is firmly placed on the future of transport infrastructure in Africa. The episode, hosted by Fieldfisher's Cecily Davis, focuses on the rail sector with Tony P. Burkson, CEO of VAOB Infrastructure Group. Known for his forward-thinking approach, Tony shares his experiences and insights on the significant role rail infrastructure plays in the development of Sub-Saharan Africa: https://lnkd.in/eMhjecR3 Geopolitical influences from major powers like China and the US are also shaping Africa’s infrastructure landscape through strategic investments, such as Angola’s Lobito Corridor Project.
