UK Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2019 | City & Financial Global | 26 March 2019 | Allen & Overy LLP, One Bishops Square, London E1 6AD, UK

The UK Government will also gain the power to designate persons being sanctioned not only by name, but also by description, giving rise to significant compliance issues. And the review mechanism will be tightened preventing such persons immediately challenging regulations before the courts.

Meanwhile on November 5th what President Trump described as the ‘toughest ever’ sanctions regime was imposed by the US on Iran. Both the EU and the UK may now be out of kilter with the US on this area, but the new UK Act could mean a drift to mirroring the US approach more generally. This would mean a wider application of sanctions to whole geographical areas, groups of people and even the implementation of so-called ‘secondary’ (extraterritorial) sanctions.

In recent months, not only human rights violations, but also cyber security and chemical attacks have resulted in calls for sanctions. It is very likely that in the coming years differences in foreign policy between the EU, the US and the UK will greatly affect the sanctions landscape.

This conference will focus on the impact of this development on corporates and financial institutions; examine the implications for enforcement and litigation issues and aim to give practical guidance.

Who should attend:
Management and executives concerned with sanctions and export control policy within corporate exporters and financial institutions. This will include senior sanctions, export control and compliance management, in-house counsel, risk managers, financial crime and sanctions analysts, MLROs, and heads of Government relations. It will also be of interest to public officials; lawyers and accountants.
