Full Profile

Lisa Weigand is an Associate in the White-Collar Crime & Sanctions team specialising in sanctions and financial crime regulatory matters. She focuses on UK/EU sanctions advisory for insurers and other financial institutions across multiple sanctions regimes, as well as advising on export controls. Her work spans the full lifecycle of an insurance policy: from pre-bind due diligence and sanctions/financial crime risk assessments to complex claims issues, regularly supporting clients on sensitive matters.

Lisa’s experience includes acting on a range of sophisticated sanctions instructions, including regulatory engagement with the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, and trade sanction licence applications before the Export Control Joint Unit. She also supports clients in day-to-day sanctions and export control related queries arising in underwriting scenarios.

She trained at Clyde & Co with seats in insurance regulatory, sanctions, and arbitration and spent time on a secondment in an in-house Compliance & Legal team, working on sanctions and financial crime issues from an in-house perspective and gaining valuable insight into the operation of the Lloyd’s market. Lisa is half German and half Chinese, grew up in Germany, and speaks fluent German.
