Foley Hoag partners Anthony Mirenda, Sarah Oliai, and Adam Safwat will lead a Massachusetts Export Center training titled, "Responding to Rapidly Evolving Regulatory Risks in Your Supply and Distribution Chains: Managing Third Parties and Beyond."

For companies doing business internationally, the actions of third parties can have significant compliance implications. These relationships can introduce additional layers of complexity—and potential exposure—into global supply and distribution chains. As U.S. laws and regulations impacting both supply and distribution chains continue to shift rapidly, understanding where those risks may arise and developing practical processes for managing them has become an increasingly important part of an effective trade compliance program.

Join this training session to hear from our subject matter experts, who will provide an overview of relevant U.S. regulatory regimes and practical tips for identifying key risks, integrating compliance into existing processes, and managing "red flags" when working with your suppliers, resellers, distributors, and other third parties. The discussion will focus on real-world considerations for companies seeking to identify potential issues before they become compliance problems. Participants will gain a better understanding of the regulatory considerations affecting their supply and distribution networks, as well as practical approaches for incorporating third-party due diligence and compliance controls into existing business processes.
