Business Compliance & Risk Management

We provide proactive, business-forward regulatory guidance designed to prevent violations before they occur—and to strengthen our clients’ posture in the face of increasing enforcement. Our advisory services are tailored to companies operating in complex cross-border environments, subject to U.S. economic sanctions, export controls, anti-boycott laws, and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.

Executive Briefings & Training Programs

We deliver practical, scenario-based training sessions and strategic briefings to ensure your team is prepared to meet regulatory challenges with clarity and confidence. Our offerings include:

• Live and virtual trainings tailored to your sector, geography, and risk profile
• Executive briefings on regulatory expectations and enforcement trends
• Training on OFAC general and specific license use, export classifications, and red flag escalation
• Crisis simulations and enforcement readiness exercises
• Onboarding programs for compliance teams at new or expanding business units

Training is not just education—it’s a key pillar of enforcement defense and internal accountability.

Custom Compliance Program Development

We design and implement tailored compliance frameworks that align with your operations and risk exposure. Each program includes:

• Sanctions and AML screening policies
• Export controls classification and license escalation protocols
• Anti-boycott detection and reporting measures
• Third-party due diligence procedures
• Integration with existing governance and audit structures

Risk Assessment & Internal Audits

We conduct enterprise-wide risk assessments and targeted audits to identify vulnerabilities in compliance systems and processes. Key areas include:

• Sanctions and export screening procedures
• High-risk transaction review
• Recordkeeping and documentation policies
• Employee reporting and whistleblower mechanisms

Each assessment concludes with a prioritized risk remediation roadmap.

Internal Investigations & Corrective Action Plans

We lead internal investigations into potential violations or compliance failures, offering:

• Targeted document and communications review
• Witness interviews and fact development
• Legal analysis and regulatory impact assessment
• Corrective action planning and reporting guidance

Our goal is to contain risk, preserve privilege, and prepare you for regulatory review if needed.

Voluntary Self-Disclosures (VSDs) 

When a violation is identified, we help clients assess the benefits of self-reporting and, if appropriate, prepare VSDs to:

• OFAC (sanctions)
• BIS (export controls)
• DOJ (criminal exposure)
• FinCEN (AML/SARs)

We manage the entire process—from initial discovery to final resolution—minimizing penalty risk and reinforcing good faith.

Pre-Enforcement Agency Engagement

We engage with regulators before formal proceedings begin, including:

• Interpretive guidance requests
• Informal regulator outreach to de-escalate flagged issues
• No-action letters or clarification requests
• Preparation of briefing materials and regulator Q&A support

This strategic outreach often resolves concerns early and on favorable terms.
