Alex Haines and Henry Reid to provide Sanctions Training in Kazakhstan alongside the British Embassy

Outer Temple’s sanctions law specialists, Alex Haines and Henry Reid are providing a sanctions training session alongside the British Embassy in Astana, Kazakhstan on Tuesday the 18th of June 2024.

The training session will focus on the Russia sanctions regimes implemented by the UK and US. The sessions will cover:

1. Designated persons, ownership and control, financial and trade sanctions, enforcement, and compliance within the UK context;
2. The role of sanctions in litigation and arbitration, focusing on contentious cases; and
3. An overview of secondary sanctions in the US context.

The training aims to ensure that companies comply with specific regulations and standards, enabling employees to understand and adhere to these requirements. By doing so, the training helps minimise legal risks and promotes a safe, compliant work environment.

Alex and Henry will present throughout the day covering ‘The UK sanctions framework in practice’, ‘Sanctions in Litigation and Arbitration’ and ‘US Secondary Sanctions – Key Takeaways’. A full agenda can be found here.
