SANCTIONS

Sanctions are a powerful tool governments, and international organisations use to enforce foreign policy, maintain international security, and combat illicit activities such as terrorism, human rights abuses, and corruption. Unlike ever before, sanctions are at the forefront of many discussions and debates in the Baltics as well as the whole of Europe. Staying up to date and having knowledgeable partners helps maintain business stability while simultaneously mitigating huge risks and avoiding pitfalls. It is crucial for businesses operating on an international scale, dealing with import and export, as well as maintaining contacts with partners in CIS.

FORT can help businesses who are trying to understand and comply with the various sanctions regimes, to avoid severe penalties and extensive reputational damage.
