Sanctions in the era of Brexit & Biden: what the past six months tell us about the future

Tom Cummins, Olivier Dorgans and Ross Denton of Ashurst will be discussing sanctions in the era of Brexit and Biden along with Pillsbury partner Nancy Fischer.

It is now roughly six months since the end of the Brexit transition period and the inauguration of the Biden administration. What has that period taught us about the future direction of travel for sanctions?

Topics covered:

• US sanctions: to what extent has the Biden administration's sanctions policy differed from the policy of the Trump administration? Will we see significant changes in relation to Iran and other sanctions programs?
• EU sanctions: how is the von der Leyen European Commission looking to develop EU sanctions policy? What are the practical effects of this for business?
• UK sanctions: after high profile sanctions measures involving human rights and serious corruption, how will UK sanctions policy evolve? Will it align itself with EU or US policy, or take a different course? How will the UK government balance its aspirations for "Global Britain", with the need for effective enforcement of sanctions?
