What is it about?
Workshops are offered In-Person only
By working through a series of hypothetical scenarios, this workshop will provide you with a practical blueprint for resolving high stakes, real-life sanctions compliance challenges at the forefront. Key topics will include China, Russia and how to mitigate the lesser-known “hidden” risks that can affect your organisation’s risk exposure and compliance decision-making.
Speakers will set the stage by comparing and contrasting the U.S., UK and EU requirements and enforcement positions, and then will provide key guidance for navigating real-world issues coming across your desk. By the end of this workshop, you will gain actionable takeaways for addressing the current and emerging issues affecting your business. Topics will include:
- Current enforcement and designation climate
- How to manage increased China-related risks against this background
- When and how a China-related issue can also have “hidden” Russia sanctions compliance implications
- Retaliatory measures taken by China and the impact on your risk calculus and sanctions compliance decision-making
- Managing the interplay of semiconductor and other key export controls with rapidly evolving sanctions
- The finer points of interpreting and applying the Foreign Direct Product and de minimis rules
- Revisiting your organisation’s third-party management amid supply chain pressures amidst “near-shoring” and “friend-shoring” and new risk factors
- Planning for new, changing sanctions and positioning your program for the uncertain path forward
- Emerging risk factors for the next 6-12 months-and how to predict and prepare for the next wave of sanctions and export control compliance dilemmas
