​Tens of thousands of Russia-related sanctions designations now exist across major global regimes - and the list continues to expand. But identifying a sanctioned name is only part of the challenge. Relevant exposure may sit deeper in the corporate network through ownership, control, affiliates, intermediaries, directors, shareholders, and cross-border entities.

​Reconstructing these networks can be difficult. Layered ownership structures, fragmented corporate records, limited transparency, and multiple Cyrillic and Latin-script name variations can obscure relevant relationships.

​In this webinar, we’ll explore how to investigate Russia-linked corporate networks and determine when a connection represents actual sanctions exposure, an ownership or control concern, or a signal for deeper due diligence.
