Our lawyers and investigators are among the most qualified, knowledgeable, and experienced practitioners of U.S. economic sanctions working in the private sector today.
With nearly half of our staff being comprised of former staff of the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), we bring decades of experience from inside OFAC to every case we handle. The remainder of our full-time staff are brought into the firm through an intensive two-year internship program where they were immediately called upon to research and learn the ins and outs of practicing U.S. sanctions and representing parties before OFAC. This allows our lawyers to avoid spending time adjusting to the learning-curve presented by U.S. sanctions and practice before OFAC.
This expertise and experience allows us to provide cutting-edge representation to a domestic and foreign clientele that spans across industry sectors, including the financial services, mining, shipping, insurance, energy, retail, and healthcare sectors. As a sophisticated OFAC sanctions practice, we understand how sanctions work from procedural, substantive, and policy perspectives and we know how to use our knowledge to the advantage of our clients.
