Join your compliance colleagues for an in-depth exploration of the complex landscape of sanctions regulations across multiple jurisdictions, including Canada, the U.S., and the EU. During this workshop, attendees will take a deep dive into key regulatory frameworks, including the EU’s sanctions under its Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), U.S. sanctions under OFAC, and Canada’s sanctions under its Special Economic Measures Act (SEMA).

Attendees will get “into the weeds” of the legal foundations, enforcement priorities, and urgent compliance challenges facing today’s businesses. Join this workshop and position yourself strategically to be prepared for the evolving sanctions landscape as we explore:

  • Navigating current guidance on sanctions compliance programs across different agencies, including OFAC, the EU and UK, and Global Affairs Canada
  • Ensuring compliance in today’s global geopolitical climate; how different regimes are leveraging sanctions as a critical tool amid geopolitical conflicts
  • Best practices for monitoring third parties for sanctions risk across multiple jurisdictions
  • Major differences between key regulatory frameworks
  • Preparing for regulatory developments in real-time through advanced technologies
  • Coordinating a multijurisdictional approach to key frameworks
