Business Compliance in International Commercial Transactions across Asia Pacific

Business Compliance in International Commercial Transactions across Asia Pacific

This international conference will be held on 21 February 2024 at The University of Sydney Law School. 

The year 2024 marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Shanghai Winter School program, offered by the University of Sydney Law School in collaboration with the East China University of Political Science and Law. To celebrate this milestone, the Sydney Law School will proudly host an academic conference titled ‘Business Compliance in International Commercial Transactions in Asia Pacific’ on Wednesday, February 21, 2024.

Business compliance in international transactions across the Asia-Pacific region holds immense importance for organizations seeking to expand their activities within this dynamic and evolving landscape. Multinational corporations operating in Asia Pacific often confront unique compliance challenges due to the swiftly changing regulatory and geopolitical environment in the region.

The event will take place at the Camperdown campus of the University of Sydney Law School in Sydney, Australia, on Wednesday February 21, 2024. The primary language of the conference will be English.

We will also be holding a celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Shanghai Winter School program after the conference. You will need to register separately for this event. Please find further details here.
