Join us for an important discussion on asset seizure and forfeiture through both a Canadian and U.S. lens. During this panel discussion, we will unpack the latest amendments and more, including:
- Clarifying the process for seeking forfeiture under Canada’s Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA)
- Developing stronger due diligence protocols amid increasingly sophisticated money laundering and other financial schemes
- Practical implications for organizations to consider
- How proceeds of asset seizure and forfeiture are being used for the reconstruction of Ukraine
