Sanctions after Brexit

Posted on 14 May 2018 by Brick Court

This event explores the impact of Brexit on economic sanctions from different perspectives – law, policy, and industry.  The first panel will discuss the new legal framework in the UK, the second will look at policy implications and sanctions relationships between the UK and the rest of the world (including the EU, UN and USA), and the third panel will examine the impact on industry and trade, including compliance and licensing.  Please come with questions – the evening will be largely conversational and (we hope!) lively Q&A with our enormously experienced panelists, continued at a drinks reception afterwards.

This event will also discuss the brand new Sanctions & AML Act 2018 that has just received royal assent and become UK law.

Time: 4.30 PM – 7 PM then a drinks reception
