About Us

Yazdanyar Law Offices specializes in assisting clients worldwide to comply with and address issues related to the sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Our practice has assisted thousands of clients with the legal and transparent transfer of assets from a sanctioned countries to the United States and/or obtaining specific licenses from OFAC authorizing otherwise prohibited transactions. 

In addition to facilitating the legal transfer of assets and working with OFAC to obtain specific licenses, our firm has successfully defended federally prosecuted clients on issues relating to U.S. trade sanctions and handled OFAC matters arising before the Federal Bureau of Investigations. And finally, our firm has provided compliance training and consulting services to corporations worldwide in order to help them understand the complex and often changing U.S. sanctions programs and the potential impact of those regulations on their businesses. Thus, our practice encompasses the far-reaching regulatory, enforcement, and criminal aspects of sanctions law. 

What sets our firm apart from other firms is our comprehensive understanding of not only U.S. sanctions and banking laws, but also those of the sanctioned country. This critical understanding of the sanctioned country’s culture and regulations allows us to find workable solutions for our clients that can actually be executed in a transparent manner.
