Scott Maberry, Partner, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP will speak at the Knowledge Congress’ upcoming webcast entitled: “Understanding Economic Sanctions for Banks & Financial Institutions”.

For further details of the event and panelists, please visit http://www.knowledgecongress.org/event_2009_export.html
Event Synopsis:
An increasingly complex global marketplace and increasing expectations by the US government to support foreign policy objectives creates challenges for financial institutions. They must be nimble enough to support their clients' cross border activities while being diligent about the complexities of sanctions regimes, from the US to every jurisdiction in which it operates. The rules governing exports and the challenges of monitoring for vessels and other shipping factors make trade finance especially challenging.
In this Live Webcast, lawyers and other seasoned compliance personnel will provide insight on the hidden risk that even a seemingly innocent money transfer can trigger severe regulatory consequences, along with training and other best practices for managing that risk.
