Advising on sanctions compliance

We advise companies operating globally on compliance with EU and member state sanction policies and US sanctions, including OFAC- and EAR-related matters.

We also provide legal support to Russian and foreign investors on Russian regulatory issues, e.g. investments in strategic companies.

Moreover, we assist clients on issues of AML legislation, and we design, upgrade, and implement compliance systems and policies.
