December 12, 2023, Wall Street Journal

David Lorello’s commentary was included in a Wall Street Journal article discussing the UK government’s establishment of the new Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation designed to focus on stopping companies from evading export controls, particularly those against Russia. David commented on how the new office will operate.

“This is an important development in U.K. sanctions implementation, although much will depend on how well-resourced the new agency will be and how it implements its role in practice,” he said.
