Roundtable Discussion on the Trump Administration and Sanctions: First Three Months in ReviewSandra Oudkirk Margaret Taylor Jonathan R. Thomas Brian Grant Panel Moderator:Kenneth Rivlin There is a great deal of uncertainty within the Sanctions Community following the election in November and the change of direction the new Administration is taking. Three months into the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President in the United States, this panel will seek to dissect and analyze the policy changes and announcements that have occurred thus far and what they might mean for sanctions compliance and enforcement in the over the next four years. This will include a detailed look at how Sanctions programs are put into place (and lifted) on Capitol Hill and will ask what will (or will not) be possible for the new President and his administration in respect of changing to the various programs. Some of the topics likely to be addressed include the following; however, this list is likely to be updated as we move closer to the conference, so check online for the latest developments:

Moot Court on the 50% Rule and How to Interpret Ownership and ControlWilliam M. McGlone Daniel B. Pickard Jeremy Zucker Brand new for the Advanced Forum on Economic Sanctions, ACI’s unique Moot Court format addresses one of the biggest sources of contention for Sanctions practitioners: how to apply OFAC’s 50% rule and the wider issue of determining ownership and control. The Moot Court will hear three separate imagined cases that illustrate the issues and pitfalls on this topic, with leading members of the Sanctions bar taking on opposing arguments before ACI’s Moot Court Judge. The audience will have the opportunity to play the role of “jury”, with polling taken on voting devices at the end of each imagined scenario. Scenarios to include:
