The Sanctions in Disputes Circle will welcome 40 hand-picked senior-level attendees from around the world focused on sanctions disputes. These attendees will be invited to participate in facilitated, Chatham House style discussions across one and a half days of content and networking at a beautiful country hotel just outside of London.
