Warsaw – Compliance – DACH and CEE

This session explores how in-house counsel can facilitate cross-border business while handling the growing intersection of foreign direct investment (FDI), sanctions and anti-money laundering (AML) risks.
Sanctions remain a moving target, with new EU packages continuing to reshape compliance expectations. FDI screening has now been established in almost all EU Member States, and further EU regulation is expected, alongside growing links to sanctions, third-country exposure and geopolitical risk. Meanwhile, new anti-money laundering (AML) obligations applicable across the EU from 2027 will broaden expectations for banks, insurers and international corporations, making alignment between legal, compliance and business teams increasingly critical.
