Iran: Managing Business Compliance & Risk

Pillsbury's integrated global response and risk advisory team is actively monitoring and advising on developments in Iran. This multidisciplinary group spans three continents and is comprised of legal specialists, policy analysts, and former government officials from the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of War, U.S. Congress, and UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO), among others. We are advising clients in the region and around the world on both immediate and longer-term dimensions of this evolving situation. Leveraging our global platform and deep regional experience, we work with multinational corporations and investors to assess emerging risks and commercial opportunities, evaluate recovery claims and enforcement actions, and ensure compliance with applicable sanctions and trade controls.

With ongoing military operations targeting Iran, geopolitical alignments and compliance frameworks are apt to shift quickly. Government instability will necessitate careful navigation of sanctions enforcement and export restrictions and introduce contractual uncertainty that increases potential for cross-border disputes. The ripples will be felt across supply chains and energy markets, and impact near- and long-term commercial planning.
