- implementation of sanctions compliance;
- sanctions as force majeure/hardship;
- selecting of arbitrators/experts/representatives by companies included into sanction lists;
- choice of the applicable law and arbitration institution by companies under sanctions;
- possible difficulties for recognition and enforcement of an arbitral award due to sanctions.
