Law of Export Controls & Trade Sanctions

The law of export controls and trade sanctions is emerging as a key area of legal specialisation. This area of law was traditionally focused on trade in arms and military equipment but has gained prominence in recent years with expansions into new areas such as semiconductors, 5G technology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cross-border data flows. With this rapid expansion and the high stakes of non-compliance, many multinational companies are implementing policies to ensure continuing conformity with this complex and evolving area of law.
