Smart Strategies for Representing Clients before the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
| Faculty: | Gerald Posner |
| Production Date: | June 13 2011 |
Description
Ever since 9/11, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) has increased its operations to curb terrorism and the illicit trade of narcotics. Join renowned author and attorney Gerald Posner for this must-see presentation on how attorneys can overcome the challenges that arise when OFAC becomes involved in client matters. Mr. Posner, who represents international clients primarily in Russia and Afghanistan, provides a stellar historical background of OFAC and differentiates its various “sanctions lists.” In his effort to help attorneys comprehend the scope of OFAC’s powers and how it operates, Mr. Posner provides engaging anecdotes and lays out the most effective ways to handle common OFAC-related issues. He concludes his program with an entertaining discussion of how OFAC arbitrarily makes exemptions to enforcing its sanctions whenever it sees fit.
Agenda:
I. History of OFAC
II. OFAC’s Effects
III. OFAC’s Sanctions Lists (SDN, Country, Kingpin, and Terror)
IV. Common OFAC-Related Dilemmas
V. Sanctions List Exemptions

An interesting discussion of a somewhat esoteric area of the law.
James Albert (Anaheim, CA)
Quite an interesting area. But, frightening when you think of how much power the U.S.Gov't. has to operate above the law.
Rena (Monrovia, CA)
Excellent speaker and interesting topic.
Hector (San Francisco, CA)

Excellent presentation. Mr. Posner took what thought would be a very boring subject and made it extremely interesting and, yes, humorous with his tongue in cheek style. Thank you!

Literally the best lecture I've heard on Lawline - and I have no connection w/ the subject matter at all. Thank you!
Brian (El Cerrito, CA)
excellent variety - use more courses like this one!

Truly an interesting and effective speaker. Really held my attention.
Michael (Irvine, CA)
The amazing thing about this course is that the misery of dealing with this agency is so intensely articulated that it makes me want to rush out and start handling these cases. I allude it to the same way I felt after reading Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential- wanting to go out and open a restaurant. Brilliant.

Mr. Posner made a potentially uninteresting topic very interesting, and ably showed how the topic to come to apply to many more attorneys than one might think. I will recommend Mr. Posner's presentation to my colleagues.
