Seminar: Navigating the Complexities of International Sanctions
Delphi and Jones Day are pleased to invite you to our joint seminar where we will guide you through the increasing and complex regulatory matters of international sanctions.
Date: 23 April
Time: 15:00-17:30 followed by drinks
Place: Advokatfirman Delphi, Mäster Samuelsgatan 17, floor 7
The impacts of sanctions have increased during the last few years and not the least the ones targeting Russia. Most companies, regardless of where their manufacturing takes place or where their suppliers or customers are located, thus need to consider the impact of sanctions when entering into all sorts of contracts, including when contemplating M&A transactions. The latest Sanctions package targeting Russia which has been implemented in EU law, the 13th in order, was adopted in March 2023. This myriad of prohibitions force companies to face a new regulatory reality, and with each new Sanctions package, the responsibilities increase.
In parallel the EU is also preparing to adopt a Directive which aims to strengthen the enforcement actions against companies that do not abide by the sanctions. Already today individuals that breach the sanctions rules may face criminal sanctions and fines and there are also high fines for both companies and individuals if rules in other jurisdictions are breached. And not the least there is a huge commercial risk and badwill associated with non-compliance.
Seminar Highlights:
- Understanding Sanctions: An overview of international sanctions, their objectives, and the legal frameworks governing them.
- Global Impact: Insights into the sanction’s effects on international relations and trade.
- Compliance Strategies: Expert advice on navigating compliance challenges and avoiding potential pitfalls.
- Mitigation Techniques: Strategies for mitigating the impact of sanctions on businesses and economies.
- What are the risks? Gain understanding in the extensive commercial and criminal risks associated with non-compliance.
- Interactive Q&A Sessions: Opportunities to engage with our speakers and ask your pressing questions.
This seminar is designed for companies who are keen to deepen their understanding of international sanctions, their implications and learn about strategies for compliance and mitigation. The event will be important for CEOs, CFOs, compliance officers, communication officers, head of various commercial areas and supply chain, and anyone involved in international trade or concerned about the impact of sanctions.
