Of critical importance are the ongoing and potential sanctions that affect international trade and the sale of commodities as well as the regulatory and legal compliance nationally and globally. Knowing that, we investigate about the trends and recent regulations and keep our clients updated about the developments in the international trade.

 

Workforce is in the heart of the culture of an organization, and it is a key element for the success in compliance with the regulations and ethical challenges. We provide our clients with modern and inclusive approaches to inspire their workforce to adhere to the values of the organization and avoid disputes. In case of actual disputes, our team provides the clients with the most cost-efficient and right solutions by litigating or conducting alternative dispute resolution proceedings, including mediation.

With a business orientation, our team is experienced in counselling in the clients’ financing activities and legal needs. We advise our clients on drafting commercial contracts and represent them in resolving disputes with their counterparts in litigation or alternative dispute resolution venues.

A great deal of the service we provide our clients with is related to financial activities and international trade. International sanctions regimes are continually evolving on a dynamic and volatile landscape. Therefore, a working sanctions awareness and compliance are essential for our clients in their domestic, regional, and international transactions. To this end, we periodically do position analysis with our clients to investigate their evolving needs and to foresee problems before such problems turn into compliance issues to avoid the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions.

A big amount of the work we do is related with international business activities of our clients and the contracts we deal with frequently refer to an international arbitration proceeding for the resolution of disputes. We guide our clients in such proceedings, representing them vigorously for a competitive price structure. Our purpose is to keep our clients’ reputation and commercial secrets secured and to direct them in a result-based, and cost and time efficient manner so that the clients could minimize their costs and time spent on the resolution of the conflict.

We understand the dynamics of the shipping business and our solutions for our clients are always down to earth, practical, result-based, affordable, and applicable.
