sanctions

sanctions legal skills by jurisdiction

Sanctions work demands precision under pressure: a designated-party match, a blocked-asset determination, or a general-license eligibility question can hold up a transaction in minutes and carry criminal exposure if answered wrong. The sanctions legal skills in the ThomasMore catalog address that operational reality across multiple regimes — OFAC, EU restrictive measures, UN consolidated lists, the UK's OFSI framework, and others — covering list screening, jurisdiction nexus analysis, deconfliction of overlapping programs, and licensing guidance. Each skill is agent-ready, deployable over MCP or as a download into existing deal or compliance workflows, so teams can run structured checks rather than starting from a blank page under time pressure.

Because sanctions regimes are amended rapidly — new designations, general-license extensions, sectoral expansions — the open-source skills in this collection are built to be updated as primary sources move, reducing the risk of working from stale guidance. They are useful whether you advise financial institutions on correspondent-banking exposure, corporates on cross-border supply chains, or clients navigating humanitarian-exception carve-outs. Filter by jurisdiction to ground the analysis in the specific program governing your transaction, or search by author to find skills maintained by practitioners with deep knowledge of a particular regime.
