P&P | Navigating Sanctions: Legal Strategies for Delisting
We were honored to have with us a distinguished panel of experts who provided invaluable insights into the complex world of sanctions imposed by the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union.
For companies or clients that have found themselves on sanctions lists, the road ahead can seem daunting. However, there are legal avenues to pursue delisting or removal from these restrictive measures.
The webinar aimed to demystify this process and equip attendees with practical knowledge from leading authorities in the field. Our esteemed speaker, Michael O’Kane, Senior Partner at the renowned boutique law firm Peters and Peters in London, guided us through this intricate landscape.
Peters and Peters has established itself as a premier firm specializing in compliance and sanctions matters, garnering a formidable reputation in the industry. Joining Michael were his colleagues from the UK, EU, and US, who offered their unique perspectives on the geopolitical and practical considerations surrounding sanctions delisting. This diverse panel shed light on the nuances and complexities inherent in navigating the different legal frameworks and approaches adopted by these major powers.
As we delved into this timely topic, we explored the legal strategies, procedural requirements, and best practices for mounting a successful delisting campaign. Whether representing a Chinese company ensnared in sanctions or a law firm advising clients facing similar challenges, the webinar provided invaluable guidance from seasoned professionals at the forefront of this field.
