    Region: Americas
    4 September 2019
    Live PLI Groupcast

    With developments occurring in international markets, sanctions laws have quickly evolved as tensions between the US, Iran and Venezuela have greatly changed the sanctions landscape. Similar developments have occurred with respect to sanctions issued by the EU, Her Majesty’s Treasury and the United Nations. Never has it been more complicated to comply with international sanctions law and to keep abreast of developments.

    This session will provide a brief overview of sanctions law generally, an update of current developments, enforcement and compliance. In addition, the session will cover developments with regard to the Helms-Burton Act and implications for doing business in Cuba, including the litigation risks.
