SANCTIONS

Contacts:

Guy Martin, partner – guy.martin@carter-ruck.com

Carter-Ruck is widely considered to be the leading law firm for contested Sanctions work and individuals and entities wishing to take steps, including court action, for the annulment of restrictive measures.

We pioneered challenges to sanctions in 2001 for Sheikh Yassin Abdullah Kadi whose two successes before the European Court of Justice have set the benchmark for sanctions challenges and more recently in the widely publicised sanctions case of the late former president of Egypt, Mohamed Hosni Elsayed Mubarak, and members of his family, where the highest court in the European Union, the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU), annulled sanctions ruling that they were unlawful from the outset.

We have represented clients before the Administrative Court in London in domestic judicial reviews of administrative sanctions decisions, the Ombudsperson to the United Nation’s ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee, the General Court of the European Union and the European Court of Justice. We also advise clients challenging US designations by OFAC.
