Sanctions & Embargoes
Sanctions and embargoes are currently in place against more than 30 countries around the world.
This is not something that most people in a business are going to be aware of and few topics in the area of trade compliance have been changing as rapidly as these of late.
Keeping abreast of all the changes and understanding the implications for your business can be very daunting.

Sometimes it is easy enough to be aware of current sanctions and embargoes measures but what about those that have remained in place for years, maybe decades?
We make it our business to clarify the details for you, to identify what is relevant and advise you of what you need to be mindful of in order to make the best decisions for your business.

Jurisdictions
Sanctions and embargoes vary considerably according to the aims and objectives of those instigating them.
Particularly challenging is when restrictions are imposed by different jurisdictions, but they do not exactly overlap. What are you supposed to do if your organisation is operates out of those different jurisdictions?
More challenging again is when sanctions exist from one jurisdiction but are prohibited by another one, a key example being the EU Blocking statute which is also applicable in the UK as ‘retained EU law’ in the post-Brexit era.
With experience finding practical business solutions to the restrictions of various international sanctions stipulations since the first incursions into Crimea by Russia in 2014 we are well placed to give you up-to-date and effective advice regarding your options in the face of these restrictions.
