It is vital that Russian and international businesses alike carefully consider developments in both sanctions against Russia and any countermeasures that may arise as a result. These measures can be implemented quickly, making compliance an ongoing challenge.

VEGAS LEX (Russia) and STEWARTS (UK) are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar focused on addressing the legal, commercial, and practical complexities of complying with Russian sanctions. Both Russian and foreign businesses will find the webinar highly informative and practical.

Russian companies will learn the trends and current developments in UK and US sanctions policy. This part of the webinar aims to arm participants with a better understanding of their rights and options once they’ve been sanctioned.

Foreign companies will understand that sanctions are not a problem of the Russian business alone. Because of state countermeasures, sanctions may suddenly ricochet onto a foreign business itself and cause practical, high-impact problems. 

Date: 17 February 2022
Time: 13:00 – 14:00 Moscow time zone (GMT +3 hours)

• DASKA and other potential moves: what to expect?
