Overview
When conflict begins, money rarely moves freely.
It slows.
It freezes.
It becomes uncertain.
Investments become trapped across jurisdictions shaped by sanctions, regulation, and political pressure.
And in those moments, financial disruption quickly becomes legal dispute.
BIAMC presents a live webinar exploring how sanctions, banking restrictions, and cross-border controls are reshaping global finance and dispute risk.
