Sanctions Handbook

The Law Society BookShop - State that a new book on Sanctions by Hugo Lodge is due to be released in April 2025.

The Law Society state:

'It offers valuable insight with essential practical tools such as the (Don’t) Panic Pages offering clear guidance on how to proceed when faced with sanctions. Sample clauses, flowcharts for procedures, and illustrative case studies are all examples that will assist you in your day-to-day work.'

Why may this be of interest - because firms regulated under MLRs or not have Sanction Regime responsibilities.
