Baker McKenzie will be hosting a seminar on 8 October 2024 in Dubai as part of our EMEA Russia Sanctions Briefings. We will be joined for the seminar by representatives from our Global Sanctions Investigations Group, including from our US and London offices.
The seminars will focus on the multijurisdictional sanctions challenges facing financial institutions and other companies in the Gulf, in relation to the US, UK, EU and UAE sanctions regimes, particularly against Russia. We will address the current enforcement environment and what it means for the Gulf, as well as best practices for mitigating sanctions risk and responding to compliance failures.
As part of the discussion, our international and Middle East sanctions and investigations experts will discuss the following themes from a US, UK, EU and UAE perspective:
- Update on current US, UK and EU sanctions as well as the UAE’s targeted financial sanctions regime
- Extraterritorial jurisdiction
- Key sanctions risks and compliance obligations for financial institutions and corporates in the Gulf
- Enforcement trends and engagement with sanctions regulators on key issues
