The webinar, in cooperation with GACC South, will give an overview of the status of sanction on Iran, provide the opportunity to discuss possible legal ramifications and implications for the business community as well as what resources to keep on hand to stay up-to-date.
Even those businesses that do not trade with Iran right now should attend/listen in, as some ramifications for U.S. businesses are not as clear cut.
