Navigating the global sanctions landscape in 2022

Sanctions compliance in an era of rising global tensions 

As the build-up and response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has clearly demonstrated, the US, EU, UK, and many other countries use sanctions as both a reactive and proactive tool in foreign policy. Whether used as deterrent to specific actions or in response to major geopolitical actions, the sanctions themselves have significant and widespread implications for business that increase legal, operational and reputational risks to business across the globe.

The latest edition of our biennial global analysis report Navigating the Global Sanctions Landscape examines some of the thematic sanctions issues of most concern to our clients. We look at what drives countries’ sanctions policies, emerging issues such as cryptocurrency and ransomware, and the role of sanctions risks in transaction diligence and third-party management.

We are monitoring the evolving nature of the sanctions regime on Russia separately, and the broad array of other considerations that organisations need to consider as a consequence of the conflict. Find out more about the Sanctions Country Monitor.
