Winston & Strawn Partner Cari Stinebower Provides Ongoing Analysis of Russian Sanctions

Winston & Strawn Partner Cari N. Stinebower previously worked in the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. Now focusing her practice on international trade, Cari has been able to provide various news outlets and publications with insight and perspective on the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. In her commentary, she discusses the impact of current sanctions as well as other potential actions countries may take to further pressure the Russian government.

In TIME, Cari noted that “[i]n addition to doing more to shut down Russia’s oil and gas sales, the U.S. and allies could further deny Russian banks access to banking transactions, and could work with allies to impose secondary sanctions on countries trading with Russia, like China, India, and Pakistan. European countries could also expand sanctions in the insurance sector, which would remove insurance safety nets from Russian businesses.”

In the Washington Examiner, Cari discussed how the U.S. and other NATO countries are also targeting Russian oligarchs in an effort to extend the reach of the sanctions, “mak[ing] it harder for these individuals and their families to continue life as normal.”
