Chelsea Ellis participated as a panelist at the 2024 Sanctions Risk Management Conference in Almaty, Kazakhstan, an international conference focused on sanctions compliance, export controls, and cross-border regulatory risk.

Chelsea joined the opening panel alongside international practitioners to discuss the extraterritorial impact of U.S. sanctions and export control laws on companies operating in Kazakhstan and throughout Central Asia. The discussion examined how multinational organizations can identify compliance risks, respond to evolving enforcement priorities, and strengthen internal compliance programs while conducting cross-border business.

The conference brought together legal professionals, compliance officers, corporate executives, and government affairs specialists from Kazakhstan, Europe, the United States, and other jurisdictions to discuss sanctions developments and their practical implications for regional and international business.
