Sanctions & CPF - An Essential Update for Law Firms

Introduction

The sanctions regime has always been with us, of course, but the Russian incursion into Ukraine has led to the sanctions regime taking on a whole new meaning with the SRA issuing fresh guidance on the regime and its broad applicability in November 2022.

Couple that with new counter-proliferation financing (CPF) provisions in the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and there would appear to be a whole new sheaf of things to think about.
