U.S. Sanctions: 2020 year-in-review and 2021 outlook

WEDNESDAY | JANUARY 27, 2021 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST

The webinar will cover the following topics:

  • The last 4 years, and especially 2020, were characterized by a US sanctions policy of “maximum pressure” and saw a raft of new sanctions policy pronouncements and enforcement actions with respect to China, Cuba, Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and others.

  • These actions impose lasting compliance obligations applicable to all multinational companies, with a particular focus on the financial, technology, manufacturing, energy, and shipping and trading sectors.

  • Although there will likely be differences in the Biden administration’s strategic and tactical approaches, many of the policies that were the driving force behind recent sanctions actions are expected to continue to be foreign policy priorities under the Biden administration.

  • The use of targeted and dynamic sanctions and costly enforcement actions to further US foreign policy goals is a feature of modern US foreign policy that predates the last several presidential administrations, and is likely here to stay. Companies will pay a steep price for not staying on top of these changes and implementing global compliance approaches.
