2013 has seen a fundamental shift in the global sanctions landscape. At no other time in the history of sanctions has there been as much development as in the past twelve months. This seminar will take you through the sanctions regimes for four key jurisdictions – Iran, Syria, Myanmar and North Korea – and will provide an overview of the basis for the sanctions as well as the current state of play. In addition, the session will provide some key hints and tips in order to avoid falling foul of sanctions and identify some fledgling opportunities that may soon become available.
