💨 Abstract

The European Union's General Court has upheld its ban on providing legal advice to Russian entities and individuals, originally enacted in 2022 as part of sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The ban applies only to legal advice not linked to judicial proceedings, and does not cover legal advice given to individuals. The decision follows requests to annul the measure from various bar associations.
