Monday, January 19, 2026

Presentation: 10:00am – 10:30am KST
Q&A: 10:30am – 10:45am KST
The recent capture and removal of Nicolás Maduro has created a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory landscape in Venezuela. 

Venezuela, already among the most complex jurisdictions globally from a sanctions, enforcement, and compliance perspective, now presents elevated uncertainty and increased enforcement risk as well as potential business opportunities. For companies, investors, financial institutions, and boards, the implications are immediate and distinctly legal and commercial.

Join Richard Burr (Washington, DC), Former US Senator, Principal Policy Advisor, former Chair, Senate Intelligence Committee, Francisco J. Cerezo (Miami and New York), Chair of DLA Piper’s US Latin America Practice, and Ignacio E. Sanchez (Washington, DC), Chair of the firm’s Geopolitical Risk Team, for a focused discussion on the current state of affairs, what the transition of power means from a geopolitical perspective, and how evolving US and global policy trajectories may shape future business decisions. 

We will discuss practical steps for Korean businesses to implement to detect exposure, strengthen governance and decision-making frameworks, and position themselves to respond quickly and confidently in this highly fluid environment.
