Aperçu

The issues involved in sanctions and export controls compliance are often complex and urgent, and pragmatic advice is frequently required at key stages in the process of business planning. Rules are constantly evolving, and it is fundamentally important companies and institutions are kept abreast of these changes. We monitor major and minor developments daily to ensure our knowledge and advice is always up to date. We take steps to ensure our clients are familiar with the key elements of relevant rules and policies so together we can recognize and plan for potential issues and act accordingly when matters arise.
