Sanctions Law & Trade Restrictions

+

LGP’s team of international experts provides legal and strategic advice on sanctions regulations in the European Union, challenging restrictive measures imposed on individuals and providing companies with solutions for their business operations affected by sanctions.

LGP is representing a number of high-profile clients in ongoing proceedings before the European Courts related to restrictive measures.

Our team is comprised of a group of legal specialists in European Union sanctions law, including former judges of the CJEU and the General Court and leading international law university professors. Our lawyers have an extensive track record of successfully representing our clients before the EU courts and European sanctions authorities, and in dealing with banks, UBO registers and commercial disputes about performance delays due to sanctions, to name but a few of our focus areas. We are used to manage our clients' affairs across Europe and the Middle East, and, where necessary, extend our reach to Switzerland, the UK and the US.

We provide our sanctions related work from our offices in the UAE (Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah), Vienna, Bratislava, Turkey and Kazakhstan.
