A boutique focused only on sanctions
We tell you where the line is — and get you to a result you can defend.
For companies, financial institutions and designated persons with serious sanctions exposure across OFAC, OFSI, EU and UN regimes. Compliance, licensing, delisting and enforcement defence — nothing else. We do not advise on circumventing sanctions.
Not sure where you stand?
Run the Sanctions Exposure Check — five questions, an instant orientation, no data stored.
Open the Exposure Check →CLEARED RESTRICTED — we tell you which side of the line a matter sits on, and why.

FAQ
Straight answers.
Can you guarantee a delisting or a licence?
No — and be wary of anyone who does. We give you a realistic, written assessment of the odds and the route before you spend on a petition or application.
Do you help structure around sanctions?
No. We act only on the lawful side: compliance, licensing, delisting, due-process challenges, export controls and enforcement defence. We do not advise on circumventing or evading sanctions.
How fast do you respond?
Within two hours in business hours. Sanctions matters are usually time-critical, and we treat them that way.
What does a first engagement look like?
A short call, then a fixed-fee written position. Only then, if it makes sense, an open-ended engagement with a scoped budget.
