The Guide to Sanctions – fifth edition

Anna Bradshaw and Alistair Jones have contributed a chapter to Global Investigations Review‘s Guide to Sanctions, which is in its fifth edition.

The guide is written by contributors from the expanding field of sanctions enforcement and dissects the topic in a practical fashion, from every stakeholder’s perspective.

The chapter that Anna and Alistair wrote, ‘Representing Designated Persons: A UK Lawyer’s Perspective’, identifies some of the main issues that are likely to arise in the legal representation of designated persons in the UK. The chapter covers:

– Legal services prohibition

– Legal fees licences

– General legal fees licences

– Specific legal fees licences

– Processing time for specific licence applications

– Challenges to licensing decisions

– Representing a designated person in applications for revocations of or variations to a UK designation

– General considerations arising in all legal work for designated persons
