30 Old Bailey, 30, London, England, EC4M 7AU, United Kingdom.

The ACSS London Chapter is excited to announce its next event, hosted by Forvis-Mazars UK.

Join us for a up close and personal discussion with the sanctions and export controls regulators themselves! The event will feature three keynote presentations from OFSI and the FCA, where they will discuss the year so far in enforcement, what the focus will be for the remainder of 2025, and what key lessons can be gleaned from recent enforcement.

As always, our panel will be followed by the chance to ask our experts your burning questions as well as network with your fellow sanctions and export controls colleagues over drinks.

Don’t miss it!
