Moderate BIAMC’s live webinar, “When Money Gets Stuck: Control, Sanctions & Disputes in Global Finance”
Cross-border financial flows are no longer just a matter of economics — they are increasingly a matter of legal strategy.
Sanctions, banking restrictions, and geopolitical pressures are reshaping how capital moves across borders, and with that comes a new wave of commercial uncertainty and dispute risk. These are precisely the kinds of questions that legal and business practitioners need to be engaging with — not in hindsight, but now.
Kirana Sastrawijaya, Senior Partner at UMBRA, was invited to moderate BIAMC’s live webinar, “When Money Gets Stuck: Control, Sanctions & Disputes in Global Finance” — a timely session bringing together legal and industry perspectives to examine how these developments are redefining international commerce, investment relationships, and dispute resolution.
The discussion covered how sanctions and regulatory actions affect cross-border financial flows, who controls capital when transactions are restricted or blocked, common dispute scenarios involving frozen funds and failed payments, the role of banks, intermediaries, and governments in financial disputes, and strategies for managing legal risk in volatile financial environments.
At UMBRA, we believe that navigating complex and fast-moving legal landscapes requires more than advisory work — it requires active participation in the conversations shaping those landscapes. We are grateful to BIAMC for the invitation and for the opportunity to contribute to this important dialogue.
