Risk assessment, classification, licensing and compliance for companies trading, paying and shipping across multiple jurisdictions.
Contact usGlobal supply chains, geopolitical tension and stricter financial oversight mean sanctions, export control and foreign exchange rules now affect almost every sector.
Companies face prohibited transactions, jurisdiction-based restrictions, obligations on dual-use goods and technologies including software and encryption, and strict payment and reporting rules.
We support manufacturers, exporters and importers, SaaS, cloud and fintech companies, logistics providers, banks and traders in anticipating risk, keeping access to banking channels and operating safely across markets.
The work is operational: clear steps, decision matrices, document templates and files ready for regulators, banks or partners, in Serbian and English.
Eleven areas of work across sanctions, export control and FX.
Four steps, from the first risk scan to ongoing maintenance.
We map products, services, markets, payment flows and suppliers, and identify quick wins and critical gaps.
We define policies, processes, contract amendments and any licences needed, with responsibilities and deadlines.
Templates and SOPs, contractual clauses, screening and due diligence, licence preparation and communication with banks.
Periodic re-screening, policy updates, training for new teams and support in incidents and regulatory change.

Possibly. Even without physical export, software and cloud services may contain encryption or technical data subject to export control. Remote server access and transfer of technical knowledge are also assessed.
Classification of the software, together with end-use and end-user assessment, is necessary.
Ownership and control rules — such as the 50% rule — have to be examined, along with indirect connections. In many cases deep due diligence of the ownership structure is required.
Even where the entity is not formally listed, exposure can be significant and the business risky.
Banks apply strict KYC and AML procedures and must comply with international sanctions. Additional documentation is often requested to prove the grounds and purpose of the payment.
We prepare complete packages — contracts, invoices, statements and explanations — to clear blocked transactions.
Our practice applies the strictest rule: the regime that is most restrictive in the situation at hand.
We build decision matrices so the rules can be applied in daily operations without paralysing the process.
The first step is to halt the relevant activity and prevent further exposure. We then run an internal root cause analysis, define a remediation plan and prepare reports for management and partners.
Depending on the situation, voluntary self-disclosure to the regulator may be advisable, which can mitigate the consequences and demonstrate good faith.
An internal team is essential, but in practice often lacks the time or specialist knowledge for complex cross-border cases.
Our role is to supply the expertise, templates and methodology so the internal team can apply the rules and run the process independently.
Through periodic supplier screening, checks on intermediaries and documentation, and route controls.
We help establish procedures that identify risk points and prevent circumvention, which matters most in transit and re-export situations.
Tell us what you ship, license or pay for and we will map the regimes that apply.
