💭 Did you know? According to the EO Knowledge Programme, the most comprehensive UK study on EO benefits, employee-owned businesses are significantly more productive, profitable, and beneficial for employee well-being compared to non-employee-owned organisations. This study, commissioned by the eoa and supported by Fieldfisher highlights the tangible advantages of employee ownership.

🚨 Key sanctions update! The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has taken an unprecedented step by requesting a court order to permanently seize funds held by Russian oligarch Petr Aven. The NCA claims these funds are “proceeds of crime,” alleging that Mr. Aven moved the money in violation of sanctions regulations. Stuart Hadley, an NCA spokesman, emphasised that current legislation does not permit the loss of sanctioned assets solely because the person is sanctioned; a clear link to criminal activity is required. Helen Taylor, a senior legal researcher at Spotlight on Corruption, noted that this application to Westminster Magistrates' Court sets a significant precedent. The NCA's action to move from temporary freezing to permanent seizure of these assets is the first attempt by UK authorities to track down cash suspected of having been moved in breach of Russia sanctions. The NCA applied for a forfeiture order of £1.1 million from Mr. Aven, a billionaire accused of supporting the Russian government during its war in Ukraine. The funds were frozen after the UK imposed sanctions on Mr. Aven in 2022. Mr. Aven faces sanctions not only in the UK but also in the US and the European Union. The EU Court of Justice ruled in April that there was insufficient evidence to maintain him on the sanctions list, but sanctions remain in place pending an appeal in Latvia, where Mr. Aven holds citizenship. The NCA investigated Mr. Aven’s business and real estate interests in the UK. In May 2022, the NCA successfully froze £1.5 million, suspecting that transactions involving Mr. Aven's representative breached UK sanctions regulations or aimed to circumvent them. Why is this case significant? If the NCA convinces the court to permanently seize £1.1 million, it underscores the seriousness of sanctions violations and reinforces the message that such actions will face consequences.

🛰️ Fieldfisher advises on Norway's largest space project! We are excited to share that Team Fieldfisher has played a pivotal role in Norway's most ambitious space endeavour to date – the USD 450 million Arctic Broadband Satellite Mission (ASBM). Space Norway is soon set to launch two state-of-the-art ASBM satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. These satellites will revolutionise communication by delivering the world's first dedicated broadband services to the Arctic region, an area previously with limited coverage. Why is the mission significant? The ASBM program marks a groundbreaking step in Norwegian space history and exemplifies international collaboration, supported by Viasat, the Norwegian and US armed forces, and financing from DNB. Continuous broadband coverage, which will soon be available to aircraft, ships, research vessels, and allied forces operating in the Arctic, will enhance communication for people working in and around the high Arctic. Expertly led by John Worthy, the project team includes Robin Spender, Oliver Abel Smith, Simon Sloane FCIArb, Brad Isaac, Chris Eastham, Jon Edgell, Sebastian Crawford, Alex Harbin, and Megan Ward.
