Legal Methods for Fund Transfers Considering Sanctions Regulations

Under current sanctions pressure, especially for cross-border financial operations, it's crucial to avoid violations of U.S. legislation. Legal consultation enables lawful money transfers outside the U.S. — including to Ukraine and other countries under financial restrictions — without risk of account freezes, fines or OFAC investigations. Our lawyers analyze each client's specific situation, identify permitted transfer channels, and verify counterparties to ensure transactions comply with U.S. sanctions. We help ensure compliance with acts like the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), Executive Orders, SDN lists and other regulations.
