In this podcast episode, Dr Rosinus welcomes Maya Lester and
Michael O’Kane. Together, they talk about sanction law. They begin
by outlining the general EU, UK, and US sanctions regimes,
highlighting their similarities and differences. Mr O’Kane then
explains the applicability of UK sanctions and Mrs Lester addresses
the influence of post-Brexit case law by the European Court of
Justice (ECJ) in the UK. Further, they provide an overview of the
enforcement of UK sanctions, illustrating this with exemplary cases
of non-compliance. They explain how the EU and UK sanctions regimes
determine whether a company asset is owned by a person on a
sanctions list. Following this, they discuss the impact of
sanctions, particularly regarding Russia, on the London legal
market and explain how legal advice can be provided to individuals
on sanctions lists. Further, the guests outline relevant court
cases. Finally, Mrs Lester and Mr O’Kane present their joint
website www.globalsanctions.co.uk where they provide up to date
information and practical legal advice regarding sanctions. Dr
