IP & Sanctions - Risks & Compliance in a Changing World

Introduction

Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022, the scope of UK and EU sanctions prohibitions as regards Russia has expanded at an unprecedented rate.

There has also been an increased focus on enforcement and the investigation of potential breaches of these regimes by UK and EU authorities.

Now more than ever, it is vital that companies familiarise themselves with the applicable sanctions regimes and implement robust processes to ensure that their activities are fully compliant with these rules.
