Export control and sanctions

Corker Binning is a law firm specialising in fraud, regulatory litigation and general criminal work of all types. Corker Binning advises companies and individuals on export control issues, particularly where there is a risk of criminal offences being committed, and gives guidance about their exposure to criminal penalties under the UK, US and European export control regimes.

Recent export control work includes advising on a number of cases involving alleged shipments of military controlled goods without export licences to post-invasion Iraq and on one of the first criminal cases involving the brokering of the sale of prohibited weapons from one country to another. We have also advised in cases relating to the extensive US Iranian sanctions regime including a European manufacturing company and employees of a major UK bank. Other work includes several cases relating to the Oil for Food investigations.
