International Sanctions

We are experienced in advising and assisting on the specialised areas of UK and EU financial and trade sanctions and travel bans.

Our legal support includes with compliance, licensing, and making challenges primarily on behalf of designated individuals.

We therefore assist clients at three levels:

• with navigating and achieving compliance, primarily with reference to commodities trading, but extending to many other sectors.
• with regard to exceptions and licensing arrangements, to enable where appropriate, persons to engage in activities that would otherwise be prohibited.
• in challenging UK and EU sanctions at both the initial administrative level and in the High Court on judicial review grounds under the new UK sanctions regime, but also in the EU through Counsel with rights of audience in the EU courts.

To discuss any sanctions issues that you may have, in the first instance please contact Martin Lewis.
