Successfully navigating the complexities of global sanctions

International trade and economic sanctions regimes continue to actively evolve against the backdrop of an ever-shifting global landscape. At the same time, the scope and complexity of sanctions regulations has been increasing steadily.

In recent years, global sanctions have moved up the corporate agenda, with prudent multinational organisations taking steps to identify which sanctions regimes apply to their businesses and understand precisely how they operate.

This situation has made us acutely aware that international companies are particularly vulnerable to regulatory risk due to the range of countries in which they operate, which often include "challenging" jurisdictions. We recognise that effectively managing this risk is central to our clients' strategic and business objectives.

With this in mind, we work closely with our client’s compliance teams to help them navigate the complex legal challenges encountered in this area.

Our market-leading sanctions specialists are able to provide a comprehensive, international service and multidisciplinary advice across all key business areas of concern to multinational companies.

We have developed a very strong track record in providing valuable advice on both unilateral and multilateral sanctions issues. This is further compounded by our vast experience in new and emerging markets where we leverage our expertise in assessing the impact of economic and trade sanctions on businesses.

We offer specialist advice, in particular, on the impact of global sanctions on international trade, shipping, insurance and transportation and are widely recognised as a market leader in this area.
