• Our services also cover legal and technical advice to companies or entities facing sanctions and debarment for alleged fraud and corruption or non-compliance to organization rules, while bidding on procurement, contracts or accepting grants from International Organizations or NGOs.

We assist with proactive advice to avoid breaches as well as information on business risks, common in some countries, and help defaulting companies institute ethics and integrity, compliance and voluntary disclosure programs in their organizations, in conformity to procedures for reinstatement.  Our services also include leading defaulting companies through Negotiated Resolution Settlements that result to agreeable restitution of embezzled funds to international organizations so as to avoid debarments, and qualify for lesser punishments. We also represent Governments or entities to assist with negotiations and repatriation of stolen or illicit funds.
