Join AmCham Dubai and Akin for a dynamic discussion on the latest regulatory developments and white collar enforcement trends regarding sanctions, export controls and anti-money laundering laws. This year, we will focus on the first 100 days of the Trump administration, a period marked by rapid and transformative changes with significant implications for the UAE business community, including:


  • What is the future of Russia sanctions under the Trump administration? How will the EU/UK respond?
  • How will the "maximum pressure 2.0" campaign against Iran impact the UAE?
  • What steps will the Trump administration take to maintain the United States's competitive edge over China in artificial intelligence?


Akin's roster of informed speakers will tackle these questions and address other recent regulatory and policy shifts. Additionally, they will present a case study of a matter handled by Akin unpacking a recent cross-border investigation concerning compliance with anti-money laundering regulations involving the US, UAE and UK.


Stay for a lively Q&A session and a networking cocktail hour.


We invite select members and friends to register their interest in attending this complimentary seminar. Venue space is limited and will be allocated to select AmCham Dubai members and Akin guests and may also be limited to two delegates per organization.


This event is off the record and closed to members of the media. A detailed agenda will be released closer to the event.
