The enforcement of sanctions will be analysed and discussed by an expert panel at a seminar organised by Rahman Ravelli, Doughty Street Chambers and supported by ThoughtLeaders4.

"Sanctions Enforcement - risks, penalties and prosecutions: an international perspective'' can be attended online or in person when it is held at 54 Doughty Street, London, from 5.30pm on Wednesday, April 19.

The event has been designed to be of interest to stakeholders, individuals or companies who are, or may be, affected by worldwide sanctions, as well as those who advise, represent or have business dealings with them.

The matters to be discussed by the panel will include:

  • Identifying enforcement risks and exposed sectors, from a UK, US and European Union perspective.
  • The UK Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation's (OFSI's) approach to enforcement: its monetary penalties for sanctions breaches, its engagement with the National Crime Agency and the scope for criminal prosecutions.
  • Comparing US and EU approaches to sanctions enforcement.
  • Trade sanctions enforcement and penalties, involving HM Revenue and Customs and its international counterparts.

The panel will be moderated by Rahman Ravelli's founder and Senior Partner, Aziz Rahman, who is known for leading the highest-level, most complex sanctions cases. He has advised and represented major institutions and corporate leaders around the world on sanctions and sanctions-related litigation.

The panellists will include:

  • Angelika Hellweger. Legal Director at Rahman Ravelli and member of its international sanctions team, who focuses on sanctions enforcement and worldwide assets freezing and seizure.
  • Jago Russell. Partner at London-based Boutique Law who specialises in cases involving sanctions. Former chief executive of the global criminal justice watchdog, Fair Trials.
  • Peter Caldwell. Barrister and head of Doughty Street Chambers' international sanctions team. A UK specialist in sanctions compliance and international investigations.
  • Amy Jeffress. US-based partner at Arnold and Porter and former Justice Department Attaché with in-depth experience of national security, compliance and export enforcement.
