The response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and new restrictions on exporting advanced technologies to China illustrate how sanctions and export controls increasingly are globally coordinated in pursuit of foreign policy goals, McGuireWoods partners Alex Brackett, Patrick Rowan, Jason Cowley, Edwin Childs and Elissa Baur wrote in Global Investigations Review’s “The Guide to Sanctions ─ Sixth Edition.”
The chapter — “Analysing the impact of sanctions and export controls on supply chains” — expands on the information the six attorneys contributed for the third edition of the guide in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sweeping multilateral actions aimed at curbing its global influence and disrupting its military capabilities.
“In the years since, governments have deepened coordination across borders, with US regulators driving international alignment and enforcement efforts,” wrote the partners, members of McGuireWoods’ nationally recognized Government Investigations & White Collar Litigation Practice Group.
“The result has been a sustained and highly coordinated sanctions regime — unmatched in scale and complexity — reshaping the modern global supply chain. The level of cooperation achieved has set a lasting precedent, as nations increasingly turn to these tools to manage geopolitical tensions,” they wrote.
McGuireWoods associate Chelsea Smith Press also contributed to the chapter.
