International Law & Sanctions

Understand international law and the evolving sanctions landscape to help navigate complex operating environments for businesses around the globe

How do extraterritorial measures cause friction in international relations? How are sanctions impacting Russia and the global economy? How will US-China relations be framed by coercive measures?

MAP’s strategic counsel helps clients understand how international law frames their operating environment, assess the influence of sanctions on global trade and investment and ensure due-diligence.

“In the coming years, every business actor will be required to examine their exposures and flows of capital, technology and people for links to sanctioned countries, entities and companies."
