Criminal & Regulatory
Sanctions & Export Controls
Compliance advice on economic sanctions and the export of goods, software and technology.
Overview
What this involves
Sanctions and export control rules restrict who a business can deal with, what it can ship and where. Violations can bring heavy penalties, and ignorance is not a defense.
KMC Justice advises companies and individuals who trade or transact internationally.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Do these rules apply to a small business?
Yes, regardless of size. The risk depends on what you sell and to whom.
What should I do if I think we broke a rule?
Stop the activity concerned, preserve records and contact us before taking any step with the authorities.
Do sanctions affect payments through banks?
Yes. Banks screen transactions, and a flagged payment can be frozen. We help clients plan for that.
