The UK Government has published a new General Trade Licence on Russia Sanctions alongside a Notice to Exporters (2023/16) on Legal Advisory Services.
The General Licence permits the direct or indirect provision of legal advisory services in relation to compliance with certain laws or measures, including restrictive measures on or concerning Russia, otherwise prohibited by Regulation 54D of The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
Firms should continue to remain up to date on UK sanctions developments to ensure that they comply with their sanctions obligations.
