Please join us for a webinar on Developments in U.S., EU, and UK Trade Controls - The Impact on Operations in the Middle East and Africa.
The Middle East & Africa Compliance Association and Covington invite you to a webinar on 8th December. The discussion will be led by senior members of Covington's White Collar and Trade Controls practices all of whom have extensive experience working with companies across the region.
Trade controls continue to evolve rapidly against a backdrop of geopolitical instability, increasing enforcement and expanding regulation and are directly impacting company operations. Our team will share insights from their extensive experience and address topics such as:
- How the U.S.-Iran conflict is affecting sanctions regimes and reshaping the compliance landscape.
- Evolving implications for regional business activity involving Syria.
- Recent sanctions and export control developments relating to Russia.
- Emerging EU and UK enforcement risks, including the increasing extraterritorial reach of sanctions regimes and the growing focus on non-Russian companies.
- Developments across Africa, including sanctions linked to Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
- Recent developments affecting advanced computing, AI, semiconductor, and datacenter activities across the Middle East.
This event is co-hosted by Covington and MEACA.
