Kroll & Freshfields Breakfast Briefing: FTO Designations, Geopolitics and Compliance Risk Across LATAM

Kroll is partnering with Freshfields to host an in-person, CLE accredited breakfast briefing on April 15 in Washington D.C. to analyze a fast-changing risk issue affecting companies operating in Latin America: the growing use of Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) designations and what they mean for compliance, security and business continuity.

In many markets, operational practices that have long been treated as “security realities” are now being reclassified into legal, reputational and financial exposure—often with significant uncertainty about enforcement timing and approach.

 

Speakers

  • Jamie Mickelson, Managing Director at Kroll Mexico and former Federal Prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
  • Joshua Tucker, New York University Professor and Senior Geopolitics Advisor at Kroll
  • Gregory Bates, Head of Compliance, Aduna Global
  • Eric Bruce, Partner at Freshfields and former Counselor to the Attorney General of the United States
 

Moderator

  • Emanuel Batista, Managing Director at Kroll
 

We Will Cover Three Core Themes

  • Geopolitics and policy leverage: how today’s political environment is shaping corporate risk
  • FTO designations in practice: why they matter now—even before enforcement becomes clear
  • Security vs. compliance: what companies should do when operational security realities collide with legal exposure
 

The session will offer 1.0 hour of general CLE credit for VA and NY, with additional states upon request.
