  • (1888PressRelease) May 05, 2020 - The most significant topic affecting global trade at the moment is COVID-19. The spreading of the virus has caused deliveries and payments to be held up, and the movement of freight is facing delays and cost overruns due to border closures.

    Not only this, the UK left the EU at the end of January and still needs to negotiate trade deals. However, the coronavirus pandemic has meant that Brexit trade talks have been delayed indefinitely, resulting in uncertainty for the UK.

    With this in mind, SMi Group are pleased to announce that Defence Exports 2020 will highlight and address some of the issues surrounding COVID-19, with an exclusive presentation by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittmann:

    "Supply Chain Challenges for Defense Contractors in a Post COVID-19 World"

    • National security risk regulations to components or products
    • Impact of unilateral export controls
    • Supply limits for foreign technology and items in US government contacts

    Presented by Ms Nancy Fischer, Partner, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittmann LLP

    As the landscape of defence trade is currently uncertain as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, September's Defence Exports conference will be an ideal time to come together to share ideas, collaborate and discuss how global trade will move forward.
