Sanctions at the Breaking Point: Freeze, Seize, and a Fragmenting Global Landscape
4 Jun 14:00 - 15:30
Sanctions
This seminar addresses two critical challenges in contemporary sanctions law. First, we will discuss when temporary freezing measures might cross into permanent seizure, politically or practically —a threshold question with profound implications for individuals and companies alike. This will lead into a wider discussion of the increasingly fragmented cross-border sanctions landscape, particularly the growing divergence between UK/EU and US regimes. As Western allies adopt potentially differing strategies, practitioners face mounting challenges navigating conflicting obligations, risks, and disputes in an unpredictable regulatory environment.
