Fasken
Fasken houses a prominent economic sanctions offering that has seen — like many of its peers — an influx of compliance-related engagements following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Other practice sweet spots include export controls, supply chain due diligence, customs law and trade agreements. Clifford Sosnow steers the group from Ottawa and combines strength in trade, investment and anti-bribery law. Former department co-head Peter Kirby struck out on his own in January 2022 but continues to act as a consultant to the team; he advises on regulatory compliance, trade agreements and trade remedies.
