Checklist The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), a part of HM Treasury, is responsible for communicating, implementing and enforcing financial sanctions in the UK. It also holds powers to grant licences that permit an activity or transaction which would otherwise be prohibited under the UK financial sanctions regime. OFSI may only issue licences connected to financial sanctions. If your application concerns a different sanction, such as trade or immigration, you must send it to the appropriate Department. See further Practice Note: Understanding the financial sanctions regime. This Checklist brings together the requirements for applying to OFSI for a financial sanctions licence, alongside recommendations to help make your application faster and easier. These are drawn from multiple sources, including the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (SAMLA 2018) and regulations made under it, various OFSI guidance materials, and guidance from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). This Checklist also signposts relevant content to support compliance with these requirements and suggestions. A section is provided for you to indicate completion...

This Precedent This Precedent provides a template for ‘module two’ of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (also called the Model Clauses or SCCs) adopted under Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 (the 2021 EU SCCs). It addresses the transfer of personal data by a data controller subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (EU GDPR), whose sole or principal EU establishment (for EU GDPR purposes) is in Ireland, to a data processor outside the EEA that is not subject to the EU GDPR. These SCCs may likewise be used where the exporting controller is not established in an EU Member State but falls within the EU GDPR’s extra-territorial scope and is therefore required to use SCCs for relevant personal data exports. As the SCCs must be governed by, and subject to the jurisdiction of, an EU Member State, Ireland can be a compelling choice: it offers laws and courts operating in English, and a data protection regulator, the DPC, experienced in working with international organisations processing personal...
