Facing a sanctions, bribery, or corporate fraud allegation across borders? Our network includes a licensed lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.
Direct answer: sanctions violations and white collar crime allegations — from breaching trade or financial sanctions to bribery and corporate fraud — increasingly carry both criminal exposure and severe regulatory penalties, often pursued by more than one country’s authorities over the same underlying conduct.
Global Lawyers Link is an international legal referral and coordination network, not a law firm licensed in any single jurisdiction.
Our network includes licensed lawyers in the relevant jurisdiction for your matter, working together on strategy from day one. Representation before any court is always handled directly by the network lawyer admitted to practice there.
Sanctions risk is often broader, and less obvious, than it first appears.
Transacting with a sanctioned individual, entity, or country indirectly, through intermediaries, can still create exposure.
Conduct lawful under one country’s sanctions regime may still violate another’s list.
A corporate sanctions violation can expose individual directors and officers personally, not just the company.
Some sanctions and anti-bribery regimes apply to conduct with only a limited connection to the enforcing country.
Corporate-linked allegations bring their own distinct dynamics beyond the underlying conduct itself.
