An article authored by Cadwalader special counsel Christian Larson was among the most widely read pieces on JD Supra in May 2025.
In "Rules in Motion, May 2025 - U.S. Issues Broad Sanctions Relief for Syria," Christian analyzes the U.S. Treasury Department's issuance of Syria General License 25, which broadly authorizes certain dealings previously prohibited under the Syrian Sanctions Regulations.
The article also addresses the State Department's 180-day waiver to the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, FinCEN's exceptive relief under the USA PATRIOT Act and ongoing limitations.
Christian highlights the implications of these temporary measures and the contractual considerations U.S. persons should weigh before re-engaging in business involving Syria.
