Sophisticated OFAC Lawyers Providing Cutting-Edge Representation
At Ferrari & Associates, we are known for providing expert legal advice on U.S. economic and trade sanctions matters and representing parties before the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). We also frequently represent parties being investigated or prosecuted for IEEPA and Kingpin Act violations.
This area of law is complex and requires the guidance of lawyers who understand the law, as well as the procedures and policies underlying OFAC sanctions. Our team of experienced OFAC lawyers have the knowledge, resources, and experience necessary to represent a sophisticated clientele on any matter that may relate to OFAC-administered sanctions programs.
The OFAC lawyers at Ferrari & Associates handle some of the biggest and most complex sanctions cases in the world.
The range of matters that Ferrari & Associates take on and the variety of its clientele allows the firm to have a 360-degree view of how U.S. sanctions work from procedural, substantive, and policy perspectives. This view provides a level of specific expertise not found in every law firm that handles U.S. sanctions work, which provides our clients with real insight on what the sanctions laws mean and what can be expected if certain approaches to their case are undertaken.
