Corker Binning’s sanctions practice encompasses: the representation of designated persons, both in challenging the fact of their designation and in taking steps to obtain the licences necessary for them to live their lives; representing individuals and companies who are accused of breaching sanctions, including those subject to criminal investigation by the NCA; and advising individuals and businesses about their compliance with the UK sanctions regime.
Corker Binning is especially well placed to advise clients who now find themselves embroiled in the UK sanctions regime – the firm’s market-leading work in financial crime and extradition means that the team has the technical skills and prior knowledge to successfully engage with the complexities of this fast-changing area.
Corker Binning represented Oleg Tinkov, who was successful in persuading the FCDO to reverse his designation, as well as Nikita Mazepin, who was one of the first designated persons to bring a High Court challenge against the fact of his designation.
