OFAC Representation Lawyers
Lawyers specializing in OFAC help companies and individuals comply with sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. They conduct OFAC compliance reviews, advise on dealing with sanctioned persons, and assist in the voluntary disclosure of violations.
If a violation has already occurred, the lawyers assist with mitigating penalties and applying for special licenses to perform prohibited transactions. They also represent clients in the event of administrative or criminal sanctions.
What is OFAC and Why is Representation Important?
OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) is an organization within the US Department of the Treasury responsible for implementing economic sanctions. Its activities are aimed at protecting national security and maintaining international stability.
The main tool of OFAC is the OFAC Sanctions List. It includes individuals, companies, and even entire countries that are subject to economic and trade restrictions. The most famous list is the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN). Being on this list means freezing assets and a ban on financial transactions with the United States.
Legal support is important because working with sanctions lists requires accuracy. Our lawyers help to check partners and clients for inclusion in the lists, and advise on compliance with OFAC requirements to avoid fines and sanctions.
What Do OFAC Representation Lawyers Do?
OFAC lawyers help clients comply with sanctions requirements. They advise on the compliance of transactions, review partners and transactions for risks of violations.
If a violation has occurred, they assist with voluntary disclosures to OFAC and help mitigate penalties. They also represent clients in cases involving fines, asset freezes, or other sanctions.
