Sanctions & Commercial Risk Awareness

Sanctions & Commercial Risk Awareness is delivered as a professional advisory service under a defined scope of work. The objective is to help clients make better commercial decisions, reduce avoidable transaction risk and manage the advisory process with discipline.

This service is suitable for energy companies, industrial buyers, traders, investors, project developers, sellers, offtakers and organisations seeking structured support in international energy markets.

International energy transactions often involve unfamiliar counterparties, complex procedures, high-value documents, banking instruments, product specifications and time-sensitive communication. A structured advisory process helps reduce confusion and improves accountability.

We begin by clarifying the commercial objective, defining the engagement scope and collecting relevant information. We then review the transaction context, assess available documentation, identify risks, prepare recommendations and support the agreed coordination process.

• Review of client objectives and transaction context
• Commercial risk identification
• Counterparty or market review where relevant
• Documentation coordination or commercial review where relevant
• Progress reporting and recommended next steps

Fees are quoted after an initial consultation. Depending on scope, this service may be priced as a fixed fee, project fee, retainer, daily advisory fee, success-based mandate fee, or hybrid structure. All fees and exclusions are agreed in writing before work begins.
