On Aug. 7, 2014, Russia imposed a ban on food from the U.S., EU, Canada and other Western nations in retaliation over Western sanctions against Russia over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Faegre Baker Daniels attorneys Matthew Levy, Linda Crow and Irina Mikhnova authored an article appearing in Law360 on what sanctions from both sides could mean for food producers and international food markets, including steps western companies can take to shield themselves from impacts of these sanctions, and the likelihood of further sanctions.
