Navigating the Global Sanctions Enforcement Storm: A Multi-Jurisdictional Challenge

Companies operating internationally are increasingly facing investigations for sanctions violations across multiple jurisdictions. This can be a complex and daunting task, as enforcement agencies in different countries have varying expectations.

Here's what you need to know:

• Understanding Agency Expectations: The US, UK, and EU all have different approaches to sanctions enforcement. Understanding these nuances is crucial for crafting an effective response.
• Cooperation is Key: Demonstrating a willingness to cooperate with investigations goes a long way. Promptly providing requested information can show good faith.
• Voluntary Disclosure: Consider voluntary disclosure programs offered by some agencies like the UK's OFSI. This can lead to lighter penalties.
• Building a Strong Defense: Assemble a team with expertise in global sanctions investigations. They can help navigate the complexities and develop a tailored defense strategy.
