Legal Affairs Roundtable

Established in 2018, INSA’s Legal Affairs Roundtable aims to provide thought leadership on a broad range of legal issues that impact the Intelligence Community (IC) and its supporting partners in the private sector. The Roundtable consists of legal experts from the U.S. Government and INSA-member organizations whose collaborative analysis has examined issues related to the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and the Dark Web, as well as security clearance reform. 

Recently, the Roundtable explored issues related to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) and national security threats posed by foreign investment. Robert S. Litt, former general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is among the guest speakers to address the Roundtable.
