Earlier this spring, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration issued a series of executive orders imposing strong sanctions against Russia. Over the last few months, those sanctions have continued to expand, with OFAC, as well as sanctions authorities in the UK and EU, issuing dozens of new sanctions regulations that impact countless segments of the global economy. Those sanctions have had a ripple effect across the investment industry, reshaping AML standards and practices for fund managers and their LPs. Please join Proskauer partners Seetha Ramachandran from our asset management litigation group as well as Kirsten Lapham and Brian Schwartz of our Private Funds group as they engage in an in-depth discussion regarding these sanctions and what they mean for fund managers today.  

Topics will include:

• General statutory and regulatory framework for the US and Europe and the UK
• What it means to be sanctioned
• What should a private investment fund do if it finds out an investor is a sanctioned person
• Sanctions Compliance for Private Funds
• AML/KYC Implications for Private Funds
• Expectations on how the current AML / sanctions regimes may evolve
• Other key considerations
