KOROSTELEV & PARTNERS
Sanctions and Counter-Sanctions
Understand overlapping restrictions before committing to a transaction or payment.
We assess Russian counter-sanctions alongside applicable US, EU and UK restrictions, coordinating with qualified foreign counsel where necessary. We screen counterparties and ownership chains and identify approvals, restrictions and practical implementation risks.
Our advice focuses on lawful transaction structures, documented decision-making and workable compliance procedures. No payment or transaction is proposed as a means to circumvent applicable sanctions.

Frequently asked questions
When should we involve legal counsel?
Before signing binding terms or transferring funds. Early review identifies ownership, approval, tax and payment issues that may change the structure.
What information should we provide first?
Please share a short description of the objective, the parties and ownership chain, the assets involved and the intended timetable. Sensitive documents can follow after conflict checks and confidentiality arrangements.
Can you work with our advisers abroad?
Yes. We coordinate the Russian workstream with your legal, tax and financial advisers and agree responsibilities at the start.
