Event Details
Please join members of Steptoe's Export Controls team and FTI's Export Controls and Sanctions team for an interactive discussion about the tension between policy objectives and the legal mechanisms available to the US government. We will explore the practical impacts of recent changes in export controls, Entity List designations, and economic sanctions focused on China and Hong Kong on day-to-day compliance efforts for individual companies and industries.
Dates & Times:
Wednesday, October 7, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. HKT
Tuesday, October 6, 2020 at 9:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. EDT
During the webinar, you will hear from current and former in-house compliance executives as well as legal professionals on the latest rules, listings, and the responses they see or recommend for US companies, Chinese companies, and other multinational companies caught in the crossfire.
Our speakers will provide their views and practical, real-world examples of how companies are dealing with these changes based on current trade controls guidance from regulators.
