Companies across Asia are facing mounting regulatory complexities. Heightened sanctions enforcement, shifting export control requirements, and the emergence of blocking statutes such as China’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law pose significant legal and operational risks for businesses.
Join Sidley partners Jen Fernandez (visiting from our Washington, D.C. office) and Yuet Ming Tham, as they break down the latest developments and offer practical guidance on how to navigate this fast-changing terrain.
Key topics to be covered include:
- A practical overview of sanctions and export controls
- Types of sanctions: how they are applied, enforced, and challenged
- Implications of blocking statutes, including the PRC’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law
- Primary vs. secondary sanctions: what in-house counsel need to know
- Sector-specific impact, including technology, financial services, and life sciences
- Looking ahead: enforcement trends and developments
This session is designed to provide in-house legal teams with the tools to understand and manage the legal risks associated with global sanctions and export controls. We hope you can join us for this timely and important discussion.
