Sanctions, Tariffs & Security

Sanctions, Tariffs & Security
Operating without clear, up-to-date visibility on sanctions, tariffs, and security developments can leave you exposed to sudden regulatory shifts that disrupt payments, block shipments, or jeopardize key partnerships. Even indirect exposure in volatile regions can lead to compliance breaches, financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational shutdowns - often with little warning.
Horizon Engage’s sanctions and security monitoring gives you the clarity and foresight to navigate complex regimes confidently. By tracking evolving regulations and identifying exposure early, you can minimise risk, ensure compliance, and maintain business continuity in an unpredictable geopolitical environment.
Case Study
Shifting sanction policy environments
An Asian financial institution required ongoing support to understand the impact of current and future US and EU sanctions on its exposure to China and Russia following the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Challenge
The client needed to understand the the complex and overlapping US, EU, UK, and UN sanctions regimes. Interpreting ambiguous or evolving definitions under OFAC and EU rules and tracking secondary sanctions risk, especially for non-Western entities transacting with Russian or Chinese counterparties.
Solution
We identified key figures in the US Treasury and Commerce Departments, EU institutions, and the Russian and Chinese governments, most relevant for sanctions and countersanctions policies. Our team analyzed new US and EU policies focusing on business impacts in sectors identified as a priority by the client.
Impact
The client recalibrated its exposure to Russia and China, benefiting from an efficient and cost-effective process for mitigating and forecasting sanctions risks. The broader commercial team stayed informed and made quick decisions, avoiding the need for non-lawyers to read extensive legal documents.
