Zaiwalla & Co will host a panel discussion during London International Disputes Week 2026, in collaboration with Three Raymond Buildings Barristers, addressing the impact of economic sanctions on commercial transactions and the resolution of related disputes.

Speakers include Leigh Crestohl of Zaiwalla & Co, Rachel Barnes of 3RB Chambers, and other speakers from the industry, bringing together legal and industry perspectives on issues arising across multiple jurisdictions.
The panel will take place on Wednesday 3 June 2026 from 11:30am to 1:00pm at:
