JCC Legal & Tax Webinar
“Sanctions Update & White Collar Crime Enforcement”
Date: September 4, 2025
Time: 15:00-16:00 CET
As global sanctions against Russia continue to evolve, it is more important than ever for Swiss businesses engaged in international trade, compliance, and risk management to stay informed. The European Union and Switzerland have recently introduced a new sanctions package, signaling continued alignment and escalation in regulatory oversight.
At the same time, the United States is undergoing an unprecedented transformation in its regulatory and law enforcement priorities, policies, and strategies—shifts that are impacting the global business environment. From deprioritizing entire categories of enforcement to a heightened focus on specific conduct, slashing agency staffing levels, and redefining the missions of key institutions, the landscape is rapidly changing.
Financial services organizations and corporations—particularly those based outside the U.S. but with commercial ties to the U.S.—face an increasingly complex and uncertain environment. However, this uncertainty can be managed. With the right strategies, businesses can continue to operate efficiently and effectively.

“Update on U.S. Economic Sanctions”

– What are U.S. priorities? What is happening to Russian sanctions? How should organizations manage Iran and China risk? Is the EU following the same trends?
– White collar crime enforcement(e.g., bribery, tariff evasion, money laundering): What are the enforcement trends. Is the FCPA on life support? What are the risks I should be thinking about and are they really that different from the risks in the previous administration?
– Engagement with U.S. authorities: How should my advocates interact with the current administration? With so many DOJ and regulatory agencies issuing memos providing guidance, what are best practices for engaging with U.S. authorities?”
