Course Overview
The recent intensification of international economic sanctions imposed against Russia – mainly by the USA, UK and the EU have further complicated, an already complex matrix of restrictive measures applicable against Russia.
In this context, businesses whose transactions involve Russian legal or natural persons needs to assess and potentially comply with numerous, rapidly changing, restrictions of often very technical nature.
Particularly tormented by international economic sanctions, are those businesses approached by the sanctioned entities, for the purpose of benefitting from the former’s services.
It is, thus, important for professionals employed in such businesses to always remain up-to-date on the applicable restrictions and best practices for their management, so that their employers avoid the severe penalties imposed by the sanction setting countries, as well as other financial and reputational damages.
