An independent publication devoted to the legal analysis of international sanctions and export control.
I am Justin Nuta, a lawyer admitted to the Hauts-de-Seine Bar in France. My professional practice is devoted to banking and financial law: regulatory compliance, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing frameworks, supervision of regulated entities and, increasingly, the application of international sanctions and export control.
This site is a personal and independent project. It is not affiliated with any firm, employer or client. Everything published here reflects my views alone.
International sanctions and export control now occupy a central place in the conduct of economic relations and, as such, represent a daily constraint for financial institutions, asset managers and exporting companies. The pace at which measures are adopted and amended has accelerated considerably.
This site offers a legal reading of those developments. The aim is to connect the adopted text to its concrete consequences: identifying what actually changes, on what basis, for whom, and what it means in practice. Some publications are developed analyses; others simply flag and document a development, where that is what the subject matter calls for.
This site does not provide legal advice. What is published here is general, takes no account of any particular situation and is no substitute for professional consultation. No lawyer-client relationship arises from reading it. No privileged information is published, and no client is ever named.
