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)

PROGRAM:

• What’s new with sanctions under CBW Act, PEESA Clarification Act, etc.
• DASKA and other potential moves: what to expect?

• Exclusive Jurisdiction and Anti-Suit Injunctions as a counter-reaction to anti-Russian sanctions
• Recent court cases. Why sanctions ricochet the foreign companies?

SPEAKERS:

David Savage, Partner, Head of Financial Crime at STEWARTS

Natalia Abtseshko, Head of International projects group at VEGAS LEX

Anastasia Cheredova, Head of Special Projects group at VEGAS LEX

The webinar will be held in English in Zoom webinar format. Preliminary registration is mandatory. Participation is free of charge.
