Sanctions lawyers

The impact of sanctions

Sanctions can be imposed on States, companies, organisations or individuals to prevent certain conduct or activities. Traditionally, sanctions have been used as a foreign policy tool to influence political agendas but are increasingly also being used to target those involved in corruption and human rights abuses.

Sanctions can entail prohibitions on financial transactions, asset freezes and trade restrictions, and breaches of these sanctions can result in lengthy prison sentences and/or considerable financial fines. These can have severe impacts on your business and reputation.
