Sanctions Advisory

& Compliance

Sanctions Advisory & Compliance

Sanctions are dynamic, technical, and high-risk regulatory compliance issues for businesses that operate across borders.
BOEX assists companies in navigating EU sanctions, export controls, and related regulatory frameworks with clarity and precision. We deliver actionable legal advice, robust compliance assessments and solutions, and think with you about strategic risk mitigation tailored to your commercial environments.

Due Diligence on Transactions and Counterparties

BOEX performs structured due diligence on clients, suppliers, intermediaries, and high-value transactions. We verify ownership structures, screen for sanctioned parties or jurisdictions, analyse red flags, and deliver clear “go/no‑go” advice so you can proceed confidently and document regulatory compliance.

Internal Compliance Programmes

We design and implement sanctions compliance frameworks that match your organisation’s scale and risk profile. Our work includes drafting policies and procedures, setting up escalation and approval processes, and establishing audit-ready documentation that supports defensible decision-making in case of regulatory scrutiny.

Licensing, Exemptions, and Regulatory Engagement

BOEX assists in obtaining EU licences, derogations, and exemptions for complex transactions, including release of frozen assets in Euroclear & Clearstream. We provide one-stop shop to clients, handling both EU, US and UK regulatory frameworks.

We prepare complete applications and liaise with competent authorities. Where needed we can challenge negative decisions with administrative appeals. 

Investigations and Incident Response

When a potential breach occurs, we manage the fact-finding, legal assessment, and response strategy. We analyse the transaction trail, engage with competent regulators where appropriate, and develop remedial measures that help contain liability and restore compliance swiftly.

Compliance Training and Executive Briefings

We deliver focused training for compliance officers, legal teams, and senior management. Our sessions explain applicable sanctions regimes, illustrate common pitfalls, and prepare teams to identify and escalate potential issues. All training is practical, scenario-based, and tailored to your operations.

Public & Administrative law litigation

 Our practice extends to administrative law, handling appeals and petitions before separate administrative law courts against decisions or acts of public authorities, particularly in sensitive regulatory areas such as financial and economic sanctions and export control licensing.

We have in-depth experience handling administrative appeals against negative decisions.
