Sanctions

For over a decade, our team has represented Russian companies in some of the largest sanctions-related litigation and arbitration matters securing precedent-setting decisions — including cases under Articles 248.1 and 248.2 of the Russian Commercial Procedure Code.

We advise major Russian companies, their senior management and beneficial owners as well as prominent Russian businessmen featured in the Forbes list on matters relating to the judicial challenge of sanctions and the unfreezing of assets.
