Sanction and export controls in higher education

°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ works extensively with many of the UK’s largest established financial institutions as well as short term lenders, asset-based lenders and the new generation of challenger banks.

With universities operating in an ever-increasing number of international markets, it is crucial that they understand and comply with international laws and regulations.

Export control and sanctions regimes apply to higher education institutions (HEIs) as well as commercial entities. Failure to comply can be a criminal offence, which may result in significant financial penalties and, in the most serious cases, imprisonment. An investigation can be costly and time consuming, and risks damage to the reputation of both the institution concerned and the wider higher education sector.
