Compliance first
Sanctions relief has opened Syria. Execution still decides the outcome.
Comprehensive US, EU, UK and Canadian sanctions on Syria have been lifted. What remains is targeted: listed parties, export controls on equipment, banking due diligence and site-level security. We build those checks into every engagement from day one.
- Counterparty and ownership screening against US, EU, UK, Canadian and UN lists
- Export-classification documentation for equipment and software, prepared for your counsel
- Banking route pre-clearance before contracts are signed
- Contract safeguards: sanctions representations, change-in-law and audit clauses
Formal legal opinions on sanctions and export controls are provided through qualified counsel.
