A combination of extensive and complex trade sanctions and export controls against Russia imposed by EU, US and UK starting February 24th 2022 inevitably affected local and multinational companies in Russia. In response the Russian government imposed its own retaliatory measures affecting the business in the country.

At the moment the following needs are the most relevant for business in Russia:

- A decision was made to withdraw from Russia/freeze the business/sell assets: a sequence of steps and risk minimization

We help our clients to solve issues related to currency payments, restrictions on the export and import of goods, services and technologies, opening and maintaining accounts in foreign banks, opening subsidiaries and affiliates abroad.
