Risk Advisory is a leading global risk management consultancy providing in-depth due diligence, sanctions intelligence, independent investigative expertise and litigation support. We enable businesses to make the right decisions by equipping corporate decision-makers, law firms and other advisors with specialised research, independently sourced intelligence and analysis.

International sanctions regimes have never been so complex, and the challenge of managing compliance is only set to continue. The cost of potential mistakes is more significant than ever, presenting a material risk to businesses across a whole range of sectors. We provide a spectrum of scenario-based investigative solutions helping in-house and external counsel teams to give informed and nuanced sanctions advice.

Determining a counterparty’s ongoing exposure to sanctions can be challenging, often with incomplete or conflicting data. While each client situation is unique, we can assist to establish the beneficial ownership of a business, to run a ‘control’ test, or to find and interpret signs of sanctions circumvention.

We also advise clients on the probability of future blocking designations against a given

individual or company. Our risk assessment methodology is powered by an existing and up-to-date knowledge of sanctions policy making, and our own long and detailed perspective on key business and political figures in high-risk jurisdictions, helping clients to future-proof their third-party relationships.

Whatever the scenario, our sanctions intelligence offering is country-agnostic because it relies on our global investigative experience and human source networks that we have been cultivating for 27 years.
