March 19, 2026 – Webinar: Increased criminal and administrative penalty risks in foreign trade law

German and European export control law continues to develop dynamically, with ongoing changes presenting companies and their leaders with new, additional challenges.

With the law on the adjustment of criminal offenses and sanctions for violations of restrictive measures of the European Union, which came into force on February 6, 2026, the legislature has significantly tightened penalties and fines for sanctions violations.

Find out which violations are now considered criminal offenses, which stricter regulations apply to dual-use goods, in which cases the possibility of voluntary disclosure no longer applies, and what penalties and fines may be imposed in the future.

What do these changes specifically mean for managers, legal counsels, and compliance officers in your company? Answers will be provided by Dr. Oliver Sahan, defense attorney and managing partner at ROXIN, together with Dr. Michaela Möhlenbeck, inhouse counsel at Deutsche Bahn AG and of counsel at ROXIN.

This event offers an in-depth examination of the upcoming legislative changes and their practical implications, providing added value even for participants who attended last year’s webinar. Be well-prepared for the tightened requirements in export control!

The webinar is being held in cooperation with the Deutsches Institut für Rechtsabteilungen und Unternehmensjuristen (diruj).

We cordially invite you to participate in this webinar and look forward to your registration.
