Our services are built entirely around your priorities - whether that means a rapid advisory engagement, long-term strategic support, or discreet resolution of a high-stakes regulatory or diplomatic challenge.
We operate with the discretion our clients expect and the precision they require.
At GREX Strategies, we work closely with clients to tackle complex sanctions, export control, and financial crime compliance challenges. That might mean advising a global bank, training in-house legal teams, conducting a sensitive policy negotiation, or helping a business navigate export licensing in a volatile market - always with a focus on discretion, technical accuracy, and clear thinking.
We do not hand out one-size-fits-all checklists. Instead, we provide targeted, practical advice that reflects how these regimes operate in real life: across law, policy, cross-border trade, and operational practice.
We help organizations and individuals understand their exposure to sanctions, export controls, and related financial crime risks, and determine the most effective, operationally feasible response. Work is confidential and calibrated to each client's regulatory, operational, and political context.
We offer:
Strategic advice on designations, export licensing, and compliance obligations
Country- or regime-specific support (e.g. DPRK, Yemen, and terrorism-related listings)
Custom training sessions for front-line and senior teams
Reviews of internal systems and risk controls related to sanctions, export restrictions, or illicit finance exposure
Whether you’re addressing an urgent issue or building long-term capacity, we deliver clear, actionable and confidential support.
We support banks and non-bank financial institutions in integrating sanctions, export control, and financial crime obligations into day-to-day operations. Our approach reflects direct experience of regulators, supervisory reviews, and the institutional challenges of change.
