International economic sanctions and export controls are important regulatory considerations for companies engaged in cross-border trade, financing, technology transfers and supply chain relationships. APX Legal advises on the legal implications that sanctions regimes imposed by the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as export control rules, may have for particular transactions and commercial relationships.
Our work includes assessing transaction counterparties and business partners against sanctions lists, incorporating sanctions and export control provisions into contracts, identifying restrictions affecting payments and financing, and assessing legal risks relating to transfers of goods, software and technology. We also support clients in evaluating sanctions exposure in international supply and distribution relationships and developing internal compliance processes.
The applicability of sanctions measures may vary depending on the jurisdictional scope of the relevant regime, the parties involved and the specific connections of the transaction. We therefore assess sanctions issues in light of the legal and commercial structure of each transaction and coordinate with foreign legal advisers where necessary. Our aim is to support companies in identifying sanctions and export control risks in their international operations at an early stage and considering appropriate legal measures.
