The experts of AT+ICA, the European Association of Trade + Investment Controls and Compliance Attorneys, team up to bring you their expert view on today’s rapidly changing landscape of export controls, foreign investments rules and new compliance areas. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupts global supply chains causing shortages of essential  goods needed to protect healthcare workers or treat patients, but also damages national economies hereby increasing the fear for hostile takeovers of strategic industries and businesses. Authorities around the globe have taken various restrictive – sometimes conflicting-  measures to deal with this new reality. Our independent AT+ICA experts will in a series of (free) webinars provide you their insights on what’s happening, how to navigate these new regulatory barriers and what can be expected from this in the future !
