True to the form of all federal regulations, this publication kickstarts the countdown to the Rules’ compliance dates. Of particular interest to legal professionals of multinational corporations and top-tier law firms are the specifics these dates hold.
As per common protocols, these dates have been carefully tabulated for easy reference. It is advisable to review these dates to ensure your company’s compliance with the new rules.
