Davis Polk counsel Will Schisa was profiled by Financier Worldwide as part of the publication’s “Power Players: International Trade & Sanctions” issue. In the Q&A, Will discusses significant moments of his professional journey, his approach to tackling complex legal challenges and particularly rewarding work he finds most rewarding.

“Our team’s goal is always to try to provide clear, practical advice that is grounded in an understanding of the client’s business and other circumstances,” he said. “Sanctions is an area where it is often the case that there is not a single clear answer based on legal texts and public guidance, and a lot of what we do is helping clients understand degrees of risk associated with particular courses of action in an uncertain environment.”
