New Sheriff in Town — AML and Sanctions Under the New Administration


59 minute watch | December.10.2020

We saw momentum building in the past few years for significant changes to Bank Secrecy Act/anti-money-laundering enforcement and compliance, but new administrations bring their own priorities and initiatives. Orrick attorneys James Parkinson and Ben Hutten discussed how the Biden administration could change the AML and sanctions landscape for U.S. and foreign financial institutions. The webcast addressed:

  • Whether the momentum for change continues, including anticipated regulatory and legislative developments
  • The continuing effect of Covid-19 on AML and sanctions compliance
  • Potential changes to sanctions on Iran and Cuba
  • The possible impact of nascent financial sanctions on China
  • Enforcement trends and future directions

Webinar filmed prior to the combination of Buckley and Orrick in 2023.
