As global supply chains continue to expand, it is essential to understand the legal, compliance, and practical challenges that arise. Forced labor, economic sanctions, corruption, and other risks can be significant, especially when relying on suppliers in China and the developing world. The early actions of the new Trump administration, and the responses from trading partners, make these challenges even more pronounced.

In this timely webinar, join industry leaders from Bass, Berry & Sims, Aperio Intelligence, and Sorini, Samet & Associates to address the complexities of managing a supply chain. Our panelists discuss the legal landscape, point out common pitfalls and risk areas, and share best practices for compliance, including how to respond to and remediate situations when a problem arises.

Specifically, this webinar covers the following topics:

  • The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) and EU, UK, and other equivalent laws.
  • Economic sanctions and corruption risks.
  • Legal and practical challenges in supply chain management.
  • Diligence and other compliance best practices.
