Our Baker McKenzie’s Global Trade and Sanctions Practice recently held a snap webinar on Looking ahead to future developments in US, EU and UK Russia sanctions policy.

The session discussed the current sanctions frameworks in relation to Russia, how these could be relaxed, and how the EU and UK may respond, drawing on past experiences where sanctions programmes have been lifted. The session also provided practical guidance on what companies can do now to be prepared for these potential developments.
