Venezuela post-Maduro – the road ahead: Legal and commercial implications

The recent capture and removal of Nicolás Maduro have created a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory landscape in Venezuela. Venezuela, already among the most complex jurisdictions globally from a sanctions, enforcement, and compliance perspective, now presents elevated uncertainty and increased enforcement risk as well as potential business opportunities. For companies, investors, financial institutions, and boards, the implications are immediate and distinctly legal and commercial. In this episode of Panorama, Ambassador Michael McKinley, Francisco J. Cerezo, Chair of DLA Piper’s US Latin America Practice, and Ignacio E. Sanchez, Chair of the firm’s Geopolitical Risk Team, for a focused discussion on the current state of affairs, what the transition of power means from a geopolitical perspective, and how evolving US and global policy trajectories may shape future business decisions.
