Description
This panel – composed of senior inhouse leaders and practitioners – explores how legal and compliance teams are navigating an increasingly fractured world. Sanctions, trade controls, regulatory divergence, sovereign interventions and technological challenges including AI are no longer peripheral strategic concerns but must be embraced as part of the core compliance agenda. Our panel delivers practical insights on translating geopolitical volatility into effective risk controls, resolving conflicting cross-border obligations, and strengthening governance that protects the business.
