Webinar “Right to an Attorney: Understanding U.S., EU and UK Sanctions on Legal Services to Russian Persons”
On July 31, together with partners from Rimon (USA), RK Partners (Austria), Radcliffe Chambers (UK) we hosted a joint webinar “Right to an Attorney: Understanding U.S., EU and UK Sanctions on Legal Services to Russian Persons”.

T. James Min II (Rimon, Partner), Lukas Roeper (RK Partners, Partner) and Shantanu Majumdar KC (Radcliffe Chambers, King's Counsel) discussed the sanction on legal services for Russian persons in U.S., EU and UK jurisdictions.

Key takeaways:

  • in all of the mentioned jurisdictions, the possibility of providing services depends both on the sanctioned status of the recipient of services and the place of its registration,

  • it is necessary to consider not only the restrictions on legal services, but other sanctions prohibitions on certain types of transactions, services and payments,

  • applicable restrictions depend not only on the location of the firm, but also on the nationality of the consultants working on the matter.

We thank our colleagues for this opportunity and also our participants for their interest in the webinar.

If you have any questions on the above seminar, please send an email to events@kkmp.legal and we will be pleased to assist.
