Sanctions

Our Sanctions team has a thorough understanding of the US, EU, and UK sanctions frameworks. Many of its members come from top international law firms and have worked years in close collaboration with American, British, and European colleagues.

We act for Russian high-net-worth individuals, including Forbes-listed business leaders, and their companies in matters involving court and administrative challenges to sanctions and asset freezes, as well as in negotiations with regulators in the EU, US, Switzerland, and the UK on the partial or full unfreezing of assets.

We advise clients on all aspects of sanctions regulations from the very first day of designation, helping them navigate complex, rapidly evolving sanctions regimes and manage legal and operational risks.

We also advise Russian state-owned companies on the application of sanctions regimes, compliance strategies, and risk management.

As recognised dispute resolution specialists, we have extensive experience challenging restrictive measures affecting our clients, including litigation and arbitrations regarding sanctions, counter-sanctions, and disrupted contracts.
