Steptoe partner Alex Melia authored an article for Law360 titled "Sanctions Spotlight: Rise of Trade Measures in the UK." The piece discusses the importance of UK trade sanctions as evidenced by recent enforcement action. It underscores the rapidly evolving enforcement approach and compliance expectations of UK sanctions agencies and regulators responsible for trade sanctions.
Alex cautions businesses required to comply with UK trade sanctions to ensure they are up to speed with the application of such sanctions and to monitor how their compliance programs measure up against evolving enforcement trends and compliance expectations.
