Partner Giovanna Cinelli spoke to The WILEF Tribune about her new role as a visiting fellow for the National Security Institute at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School, her career, and her expectations for the year ahead. In the Q&A, Giovanna said she expects sanctions, export controls, and updates to foreign direct investment to continue in 2023.
“Whether Russia or China, the US and Europe have found sanctions to be a soft power tool that can be used without the need for boots on the ground,” Giovanna said.
“This allows governments to encourage changes in other parties’ behavior without the risk to personnel.”
