Sanctions are imposed without warning, which is why we closely monitor all changes in this area so as to knowledgably anticipate possible sanctions risks in an informed manner.
We work with various sanctions programs, regulations, trade embargoes, blocking statutes and the competent Russian and foreign authorities.
We have not only in-depth expertise in sanctions and trade restrictions, which allows us to advise clients on such matters without involving foreign specialists, but also an extensive network of foreign counsel who can advise on the most complex and specific issues of any operation and application of sanctions in a particular jurisdiction in practice.
We engage foreign counsel located all over the world.
Our fields of expertise cover all countries of the European Union as well as the Asia-Pacific region, as well as such significant sanctions' jurisdictions as the United States and the United Kingdom. Well established relationships with our overseas counsel allow us to provide services of any level of complexity in any jurisdiction of interest to our clients
