Financial Services Academy: Sanctions

We are pleased to invite you to the next session of our Financial Services Academy, a series of online webinars aimed at up-and-coming in-house regulatory lawyers and compliance professionals who are not directly involved in sanctions related matters on a day-to-day basis, but who want to understand the sanctions regulatory framework.

During this session, lawyers from our advisory and contentious financial services teams will guide you through the architecture of the UK and EU sanctions regimes, and some of the key questions that you will need to consider in this context. 

Programme:

• The key pieces of legislation that make up the UK and EU sanctions regimes
• Determining if a client or counterparty is sanctioned 
• The OFSI licensing regime
• Key reporting obligations 
• Penalties for breaching sanctions restrictions
• Broader regulatory considerations
• Practical challenges and key questions for sanctions compliance
