Managing Director Randolph Khoo and Directors Chia Voon Jiet and Mahesh Rai contribute to Lexology Panoramic: Sanctions 2025

23 Oct 2025

Managing Director of Dispute Resolution, Randolph Khoo along with Directors Chia Voon Jiet, and Mahesh Rai co-authored the Singapore chapter of Lexology Panoramic: Sanctions 2025.

Lexology Panoramic is a comprehensive international guide that provides an overview of how laws and regulations vary across jurisdictions in various current areas of legal interest. The guide facilitates a side-by-side comparison of local insights from leading practitioners globally into economic, financial and trade sanctions, encompassing both national and international frameworks.

The Singapore chapter authored by our directors highlights recent developments and emerging trends in Singapore’s sanctions regime. It covers topics such as the circumstances under which a person may become subject to asset freezing provisions, the types of dealings generally restricted under these provisions, and the licensing powers of local authorities to permit otherwise prohibited activities.

The chapter also discusses countries currently subject to sanctions or embargoes under the Singapore jurisdiction and examines key developments, including Singapore’s growing emphasis on global cooperation and coordination of sanctions policies, as influenced by geopolitical developments and international obligations such as UN resolutions.
