CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION CREDITS EARN CLE CREDITS
Accreditation will be sought in those jurisdictions requested by the registrants which have continuing education requirements. This course is identified as nontransitional for the purposes of CLE accreditation. ACI certifies this activity has been approved for CLE credit by the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board. ACI certifies this activity has been approved for CLE credit by the State Bar of California.
The global sanctions landscape remains complex and hard to predict. The U.S. continues to use and enforce sanctions frequently, but the November election could result in a shift in sanctions policy. The UK is currently developing their own sanctions policy post Brexit and issued their first penalty against Standard Chartered this year. Companies are finding it increasing challenging to stay clear of secondary sections. Sanctions enforcement continues strong in 2020 despite most sanction professionals working remotely. The Virtual NY Forum on Economic Sanctions taking place on December 2 - 3, 2020 will keep you updated on all the changes and offers a great opportunity to stay connect with your sanction compliance peers. Our interactive forum allows you to connect with the participants and speakers in real time.

C5 GROUP’S VIRTUAL EVENTS
Re-imagining the way we deliver conferences As the current global situation continues to unfold, we understand that it may not be possible to attend our events in person.

We are transforming quickly to ensure you can now connect virtually and continue to gain unparalleled access to market leading intelligence and to the facilitation of a global exchange of expertise. Our new virtual events continue to be guided by our unifying philosophy: we believe that growth and success occurs when the power of people and the power of information come together. We may not be able to gather in person, but nothing stops connection and innovation.
What you can expect at a virtual conference Our virtual conferences are the same conferences you have come to expect in person but transformed to a virtual format.
