⚖ OFAC Compliance Counseling
We advise companies and financial institutions on compliance with OFAC sanctions programs, including the SDN List, Sectoral Sanctions, and country-based embargoes. Our approach integrates risk assessment, internal controls design, and ongoing monitoring frameworks.

The firm has extensive experience filing petitions for administrative reconsideration with OFAC on behalf of designated persons and entities seeking removal from the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List and other sanctions lists.
⚖ OFAC Specific License Applications
We prepare and file applications for OFAC specific licenses authorizing otherwise prohibited transactions, including humanitarian trade, legal services, and financial transactions involving sanctioned jurisdictions or blocked persons.
⚖ Sanctions Enforcement Defense
Ferrari & Associates defends clients facing OFAC civil penalty proceedings, pre-penalty notices, and investigations. We also represent clients in voluntary self-disclosures and coordinate with counsel on parallel criminal inquiries.
⚖ Export Controls & International Trade
Beyond OFAC, the firm advises on compliance with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by BIS, as well as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). We help clients navigate export licensing, deemed export issues, commodity classifications, and the intersection of sanctions and export control regimes.
