With a focus on EU and UK sanctions and export controls, coupled with extensive sector experience across numerous industries, we can help you to de-risk your international transactions and business activities and equip you to gain a competitive advantage.

We advise on targeted, trade and financial sanctions, as well as on compliance with restrictions on the export of dual-use products and technologies, military and other goods and export to high risk or restricted countries.

We provide proactive and practical guidance to enable your company to pursue business opportunities while remaining compliant in the challenging regulatory environment. Our experience covers industries such as insurance, maritime, trade and manufacturing.

We routinely carry out risk assessments, including advising on the impact of new restrictions on contractual obligations and designing compliance programmes and training. We conduct internal audits and investigations for clients, advising on how to mitigate identified breaches and interacting on their behalf with regulators in the EU, the UK, and national authorities in EU Member States.

Our team assists clients with applications for licences and authorisations to the UK and EU Member State authorities and provides guidance on reporting requirements. We represent clients in government enquiries and investigations and, if litigation follows, before EU or national courts. We also work alongside lawyers in multiple jurisdictions to help our multinational clients manage their global risks.
