Energy and Natural Resources PG Call: Iran Oil Sanctions Relief

A 60-Day Window, Revoked in Sixteen

Monday 20 Jul 2026, 14:00 - 15:00 (BST)

Iran Oil Sanctions Relief: What's Left After a 60-Day License Became Sixteen 

OFAC's General License authorising Iranian-origin oil and petrochemical transactions was revoked after just sixteen days, replaced by a ten-day wind-down license that has itself since expired. What was billed as a narrow but real 60-day opportunity for energy and maritime operators is now, in practice, a live compliance question about unwound exposure — and a fast-moving minefield for their advisors.

Please join group leaders Paul Heyburn (MI member firm Mehaffy Weber PC, Houston, TX, USA) and Paul Rutisiya (MI member firm Kasirye Byaruhanga & Co, Kampala, Uganda), together with Simge Kiliç, Managing Partner Herdem Attorneys at Law  (MI member firm, Türkiye), who will deliver a practical session on 20th July 2026 at 2pm UK BST on what the license actually permitted, where the risk sits now that it's gone, and whether compliance teams and law firms are ready to advise clients through the aftermath.
