US Sanctions on non-US companies: risks, mechanisms, and examples_webinar_September 10

On behalf of PCCC Patron Member – KKG Legal, a law firm – we are honored to invite you to the webinar titled “US Sanctions on non-US companies: risks, mechanisms, and examples”. The event will take place on 10 September 2025. The webinar will be focused on how US regulations can apply to European companies, even if they do not have a physical presence in the US.

May your company be subject to US sanctions even though it does not operate in the US? The answer is YES., if it:

  • transacts in US dollars,
  • has US shareholders, or
  • works with counterparties on sanctions li

The consequences may be serious: heavy financial penalties, loss of access to the USD system and, in extreme cases, inclusion on a sanctions list (SDN), which means being virtually cut off from the global market.

During the meeting, experts from KKG Legal will:

  • show how US law and OFAC sanction mechanisms work,
  • explain the differences between primary and secondary sanctions,
  • discuss case studies of companies from Europe and Poland that have faced sanctions,
  • give tips on how to minimise risks in international operations,
  • answer all questions during the Q&A session.

The training will be hosted by experts from KKG Legal, who have been advising management boards and company owners in key decision-making situations for years:

  • Grzegorz Pobożniak – partner
  • Paweł Sikora – Warsaw office managing partner

The webinar will take place on 10 September 2025 at 11:00-12:30 in Polish.

Attendance is free of charge, however prior registration is required.

 The registration is open until 9 September 2025. The number of participants is limited.

This webinar is a part of a series of meetings about the managerial liability – both in internal and external relations, towards creditors, supervisory bodies and in terms of criminal liability.

We encourage you to spread the word about the event to your colleagues and business partners as well – it will be an opportunity to gain practical knowledge about the legal risks that can affect the operations of many Polish companies.
