Nearly two years after sanctions on Iran were relaxed significantly, investment appetite in Iran remains high and the region continues to draw attention from many Korean and international companies. However, it is also true that this is a greenfield region for many overseas investors, and many companies are finding it difficult to make significant progress with their investments. Understanding the key legal, commercial and geopolitical risks is crucial in achieving success in your investments and trading relationships in Iran.

The seminar will address the following topics:

• A brief update on the current geopolitical situation in Iran and the importance and challenges of conducting due diligence in Iran
  
  
• Update on sanctions
  
  
• Tips on structuring your investments and trading relationships in the Korea-Iran corridor
  
  
• Current challenges in financing Iranian investments
  
  
• Key risks to be aware of when investing in Iran, and practical mitigants to consider in protecting against these risks
  
  
• A case study of a recent international investment into a major Iranian gas development project, including key takeaways and practical tips for future investments into major Iranian projects

Please join us to hear our expert panel from Herbert Smith Freehills and Control Risks discuss the key issues, risks, practical guidance on leading your projects to success and lessons learnt based on our experience in Iran post-sanctions.
