Sanctions Navigator: Adapting Business to New Realities

Justice Quarter, conference hall E11
The Legal Basis Underlying Economic Growth
Broadcast
Many foreign companies are afraid to invest and do business in Russia due to the risk of secondary sanctions. This issue needs to be discussed and studied, and effective tools must be developed to mitigate such risks. The imposition of foreign sanctions on domestic businesses has resulted in numerous practical problems, such as how a sanctioned company should continue doing business and how it should restructure. It is crucial to discuss this situation, study the experience of Russia’s partners, and develop additional mechanisms to minimize the consequences of external restrictive measures. Clients, contractors, and foreign partners have been regularly raising this issue for a long time. They remain relevant and require additional discussions and the development of new mechanisms and methods to minimize the effects of unilateral sanctions. What are some of the new mechanisms and methods that aim to minimize the negative impact of unilateral sanctions? How can we improve international interaction and dialogue between Russian and foreign businesses, as well as government officials?
