David Mortlock, Co-Chair of Willkie's Global Trade & Investment Practice Group and Managing Partner of the Washington office, has been featured in a GIR roundtable discussion with several of the contributing editors of The Guide to Sanctions - Sixth Edition.
David and three of the guide's other contributing editors addressed recent developments and emerging trends in the sanctions space, including the complexity of international sanctions regimes, intensifying enforcement actions, and key compliance priorities.
"From my perspective and that of our clients, the most important element of their compliance work is ensuring that they stay on top of those changes and have a compliance infrastructure in place that can respond quickly and is adaptable even to the hour," David told GIR.
It is imperative that companies not only stay abreast of the ever-changing sanctions landscape, but they must also manage multiple international sanctions regimes, tailoring compliance programs to the nature of their business and the risks that they face, he added.
Willkie's Global Trade & Investment Group combines decades of experience in the executive and legislative branches with technical experience in a broad range of international legal and policy areas. The firm advises U.S. and multinational companies global financial institutions, and investment funds operating or investing in a variety of industries including financial services, transportation, communications, insurance, manufacturing, agriculture and technology.
