Sanctions & High-Risk Jurisdictions
Staying on the Right Side
We help businesses navigate sanctions and dealings involving high-risk jurisdictions, so they stay compliant and keep their banking.
What We Do
Sanctions and high-risk jurisdictions are among the most sensitive areas a business can touch, where a single misstep can bring severe consequences and the loss of banking relationships. We help businesses understand and meet their obligations, so cross-border activity stays on the right side of the line.
We advise on screening, due diligence and the controls that keep a business clear of prohibited parties and dealings, and we help clients understand the exposure that comes with operating in or around high-risk jurisdictions. Clarity here is what allows legitimate business to proceed safely.
When a question arises, the response has to be careful and well documented, because banks and regulators watch this area closely. We help clients handle sensitive dealings in a way that satisfies the scrutiny they will inevitably attract.

Our Clients
Great company and qualified employees! Contacted regarding a non-standard request for the creation of a notarized power of attorney. Everything was done quickly and on time. I am pleased with the quality of services provided and the professionalism of the team. I recommend this company to anyone who needs legal assistance in Georgia.
We worked with Nino and Georgy – registered a company and several individual entrepreneurs – we are very pleased. Not only for the result, but also for the service after. This is not a company that just does the job and leaves. We had many questions after registration, we were given as much time as required and all issues were resolved. There were no problems after registration. I recommend it 100%.
