Global Trade Challenges: Navigating Sanctions Law and Export Control

We are delighted to invite you to our exclusive international event on current challenges in global trade, particularly in the context of sanctions law and export control.

In today's rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, sanctions law and export control gain importance as instruments of political strategy. Companies operating internationally face increased risks associated with compliance violations, including substantial fines, criminal prosecution, and reputational harm. As such, the development of robust preventive compliance frameworks and, when necessary, the performance of thorough internal investigations have become paramount for safeguarding corporate integrity.
 
This event will feature a keynote from Mr. Michael Strotmann, Senior Legal Advisor in the Financial Sanctions Compliance Department of UniCredit Bank GmbH. The keynote will provide valuable practical insights and strategic considerations with respect to contemporary challenges in sanctions law.
Furthermore, this event will convene a diverse group of experts from Europe, the U.S., the UK, and China who specialize in the areas of sanctions, export control, financial regulation, compliance and investigations.
 
Together, we will explore how organizations can effectively navigate the complexities of global trade challenges while ensuring adherence to evolving legal standards.
 
Key topics for discussion include:

  • Recent developments and major updates in sanctions laws across various jurisdictions (with a focus on the EU, UK and U.S.).
  • Strategies for navigating geopolitical shifts from a sanctions, trade, and regulatory perspective – particularly regarding U.S.-China relations.
  • The role of sanctions compliance within M&A transactions in the light of increasing controls and enforcement.
  • Sanctions risks as a factor for investment rounds and M&A, in particular during the due diligence phase, and post-M&A compliance ramp-up reviews.
  • The establishment of a new the authority for anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AMLA).
  • Identifying triggers for internal investigations related to sanctions law and export control and carrying out internal investigations while leveraging innovative Legal Tech solutions from our own brand, ELTEMATE.
Join us as we delve into these crucial topics that impact global commerce and discuss actionable strategies to mitigate risks associated with international trade. Your participation would greatly enrich our discussions.
