Akerman and German law firm HEUKING will co-host a webinar to discuss how to navigate the international investment maze in the United States and Europe. With ever evolving foreign policy priorities and today’s enhanced enforcement environment, the need to comply with complex regulatory requirements presents a significant challenge, even for routine matters let alone dealing with foreign investments. The complexities of this challenge are compounded for businesses with dealings abroad.  

We will discuss: 

• A brief overview and comparison of sanctions regimes in the United States and Europe
• Recent trends in the EU, including focus on EU sanctions against Russia, Nicaragua and Venezuela
• Recent trends in the United States, particularly with respect to Latin America
• Business and in-house counsel perspectives regarding trends in sanctions and government enforcement
• Overview and trends in the EU and USA regarding government regulations and sanctions related to foreign direct investment (FDI)
• Upcoming reform of the EU Regulation on FDI Screening
