Overview
Sanctions enforcement is intensifying amid heightened geopolitical tensions, rapid innovation in digital assets, and unprecedented coordination among US enforcement authorities. The US Department of the Treasury (Treasury), including the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), is expanding its enforcement reach while working more closely with the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Commerce (Commerce), and other agencies. Recent enforcement actions, proposed rulemakings, and legislative developments signal increased expectations for companies to understand and manage sanctions risk across industries — from financial services and FinTech to education and other nontraditional sectors.
Join our cross-practice team for a webinar examining the current sanctions landscape, recent enforcement actions, and emerging government priorities. The discussion will offer practical insights into regulatory risk, compliance challenges, and where enforcement is headed.
Discussion topics will include:
- The current US sanctions framework and enforcement posture, with a focus on the roles and coordination of OFAC, FinCEN, Treasury, Commerce, and DOJ
- Sanctions enforcement trends affecting crypto, FinTech, and digital assets
- Emerging sanctions risks and government priorities, including cross-border fraud and scam investigations and sanctions exposure for nontraditional sectors
- The evolving intersection of sanctions and anti-money laundering enforcement
