Advised a large investment company on issues of currency regulation and anti-sanctions restrictions

The teams from Pepeliaev Group’s currency and banking practice groups are advising a major investment company on currency regulation and Russian anti-sanctions restrictions in relation to a number of transactions that are aimed at dividing an investment portfolio and performing the relevant mutual settlements.

Prior to 2022, the investment portfolio of a major international fund was formed out of investments in private Russian companies in various sectors of the economy. In connection with the necessary permissions being obtained for the restructuring of the investment portfolio and it being divided into Russian and international business, our lawyers are advising the client on currency aspects as well as on anti-sanctions restrictions in relation to entering into and performing transactions.

Our profound expertise in how currency and anti-sanctions regulation intersect allows our experts to identify and mitigate to good effect the possible legal risks of the company and its management connected with the the investment portfolio being restructured.
