Event Details

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom have responded with a series of sanctions targeting Russia that are unprecedented in their scope and range.


How do these sanctions affect companies doing business in Asia? Anybody involved in international trade and finance needs to fully understand the scope of the Russia sanctions. Moreover, when evaluating new M&A and strategic partnerships, sanctions exposure is a category of risk that can no longer be ignored – the stakes are simply too high!


SwedCham helps you get ready for an increasingly complex operating environment. Join us for this seminar led by legal professionals Alexandra Underwood (Lead Partner in Fieldfisher's Fraud, Commercial Crime and Investigations team), Andrew Hood (Head of Fieldfisher's London International Trade Team) and Kristian Odebjer (founder of Odebjer Fohlin) with vast experience in the area of sanctions law spanning several decades.
