The WorldECR Forum, London 3-4 December

Sanctions and Export Control Compliance at the Cusp of Change

Join us in London this December

Scheduled to take place shortly after the US presidential election, the WorldECR Forum events in London and Washington DC are timed to bring together senior figures and key thinkers in trade control law, policy and practice at a critical juncture in national security and international trade.

This year’s London Forum will be held at the offices of Hogan Lovells: Atlantic House, Holborn Viaduct. The focus of the Forum will be on developments in US, EU and UK sanctions, export control and national security policy with implications for industry and finance including:

Lie of the land

• What are the consequences of the US election for UK and EU sanctions and export control policies?
• All change in Iran? Or business as normal
• Russia’s aggression in Ukraine: As the war approaches its third year, how will policymakers respond to continuing and emerging threats?
• China, the United States and the Rest of the World – through the prism of trade controls

Sanctions

• Sanctions case-law, implications for contracts and disputes (e.g. force majeure issues, counter-party claims)
• Evasion and circumvention: best practice compliance for UK and EU business
• US secondary sanctions: obligations for non-US companies
• Enforcement landscape, and ‘learning from others’ mistakes’

Export Controls

• Emerging technology controls coming of age?
• Cyber threats and export controls: the nexus
• Battlefield goods: ‘The List within a List’
• US, UK, EU compare and contrast
