Sanctions and export controls due diligence: the key issues

Sanctions and export controls pose a significant challenge for businesses, given the constantly and rapidly changing regulatory landscape.  Sales-orientated companies need to keep pace with applicable sanctions and export controls regimes to ensure that business opportunities are maximised and regulatory requirements  are met. 

This one-hour webinar lays out the key issues that compliance officers and lawyers involved in scrutinising company transactions need to be aware of in pre-transaction due diligence, and shows how to mitigate any issues arising post-transaction. 

What you will learn:

•  Immediate red flags to be aware of;

•  How to conduct due diligence that satisfies regulatory requirements in fast moving transactions; and

•  How to respond to issues that surface post-transaction.

The session will be led by Alexandra Melia, who spent a year seconded to an oilfield services company where she acted in the capacity of a de-facto Chief Compliance Officer, and Dave Stetson, a former senior lawyer at OFAC and in-house sanctions lawyer.
