We assist companies and individuals in providing advice on sanctions (including but not limited to the sanctions imposed by the European Union in the context of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia) and the impact of these sanctions on transactions with entities and individuals subject to restrictions.
Our experience with sanctions extends to conducting internal investigations into potential breaches of sanctions regulations, providing advice on the legal consequences of such breaches, and developing compliance programs to minimize our clients’ exposure to sanction risks. We also assist clients during investigations conducted by authorities (criminal investigations, Customs and Excise, etc.).
Some examples of cases we handle:
- Advising a client on the application of sanctions in a dispute with a securities depository regarding the negotiability of bonds issued by Belarus.
- Assisting an international company during a criminal investigation into alleged violations of European sanctions imposed on Belarus.
