Sanctions as a Tool: Pressure, Leverage, and Corporate Conflicts
An expert report analyzing sanctions as a powerful mechanism for reallocating risk, liquidity, and business controllability in cross-border disputes. The study explores how the sanctions framework is often expanded through overcompliance and instrumentalized as a tool for commercial or political-reputational pressure. It provides a strategic framework for navigating the “compliance contour,” identifying risks of operational freeze, and building a legal defense in an environment of aggressive de-risking and strict-liability enforcement.
