Eldwick Law is a boutique legal firm specialising in assisting clients with Sanctions Licenses and Exemptions.
Our team provides expert advice and support in obtaining an OFSI (Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation) license and understanding exemptions under UK and international financial sanctions.
The OFSI Licence
What is an OFSI Licence?
An OFSI licence is a legal document for conducting activities that would normally breach UK financial sanctions. It’s not a blanket permission but contains specific conditions, outlining the permissible scope of your activities.
Securing an OFSI Licence with Eldwick Law
Applying for an OFSI licence involves a complex process.
Our team at Eldwick Law guides clients through each step, ensuring all necessary information is accurately provided, including the intended purpose of transactions, payment routes, and the legal basis of your application.
Key Considerations for Licence Application
- Legal Grounds: We help you identify and articulate the legal grounds for your application, essential for OFSI’s approval. These grounds include reasonable legal fees, basic needs provision, humanitarian assistance, and fulfilling pre-sanction obligations.
- Timely Submission: Prompt submission of your application is crucial. We ensure your application is thorough and submitted in a timely manner, as reviews can extend beyond four weeks.
- Compliance and Risk Mitigation: Our team advises on maintaining compliance and avoiding transactions without a valid licence, which can lead to significant legal and financial penalties.
