International Export Compliance

The Lawyer Conferences are proud to announce their inaugural event on international export compliance. Stemming from a well established series of market leading conferences on compliance, this prestigious event will examine some practical solutions to the challenges of creating a harmonious and compliant export control programme – an issue that is of increased importance in today’s globalised economy.
The increasing complexity of global trade rules combined with a heightened regulatory environment has made this issue a key challenge to legal and compliance departments worldwide – however, this is of particular importance to companies with American interests as US ITAR and dual-use regulations impact across the board.

Comprising of regulatory experts from the US, EU, BRIC and Japan, plus best practice case studies from leading multinationals who have overcome some of these challenges, this is an event you simply cannot afford to miss.
