ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

International economic sanctions comprise restrictive measures – often complex – imposed by international actors of global influence aiming at curbing law-abusers of international impact, be it countries, legal or natural persons.

In this context, international economic sanctions constitute a daily ‘headache’ for businesses wishing to transact internationally.

Particularly tormented by international economic sanctions, are those businesses approached by the sanctioned entities, for the purpose of benefitting from the former’s services.

Therefore, all businesses regardless of size, nature of activities and place of incorporation, should, on an ongoing basis, assess their risk of exposure to international economic sanctions and take appropriate measures to mitigate this risk.
