Sanctions, ownership and related issues
The speed at which financial and trade sanctions, and other measures aimed at entities and individuals, can be implemented to react to geo-political events means that companies have to be confident they have a robust sanctions and related compliance programme in place, and that transactions with potential sanctions implications can be escalated and dealt with at the appropriate level.
Our experienced team advises clients on all aspects of UN, EU and UK sanctions compliance and related issues. If you would like to discuss any issues, please get in touch with us or your usual Osborne Clarke contacts.
