Akin Gump’s Wynn Segall, a Washington, D.C.-based partner in the firm’s international trade practice, was interviewed by Metropolitan Corporate Counsel on the changing face of U.S. and international economic sanctions against Iran and the impact that this shifting landscape could have on corporate governance.

Segall then discussed systemic risks in these cases, U.S. government sanction and export control enforcement trends and the implications of all this for corporate governance and compliance
