Navigis Counsel is a Washington, D.C. boutique advising companies where export controls, sanctions, supply chains, foreign investment, and AI converge with U.S. national security — so you can move decisively while competitors wait for clearance.
Every Navigis matter is led directly by the firm's founder — seasoned counsel who helped shape these rules from inside government and continues to influence them through congressional testimony and policy scholarship. No hand-offs, no leverage model: the person you meet is the person who does the work. We pair that judgment with the focus and cost discipline of a boutique, and with a technology-enabled practice platform that applies AI to the volume work — screening, monitoring, documentation — so senior attention stays where it belongs: on the decisions that determine whether your business moves forward.
Washington no longer regulates in silos — and neither should your defense. The same geopolitical forces that trigger a UFLPA detention at the port drive OFAC designations, export-control enforcement, and CFIUS mitigation orders, and regulators increasingly share targets, evidence, and theories across agencies. A supply-chain answer that ignores sanctions exposure isn't a solution; it's a deferral. Navigis maps your exposure across all six regimes as a single, integrated risk landscape — so a fix in one lane never creates liability in another, and your compliance posture becomes an asset in transactions rather than a condition on them.
Detained shipments. Delayed transactions. Failed acquisitions. Criminal investigations. When your business depends on global supply chains, controlled technology, foreign investment, or international markets, the best decisions are made before regulators, counterparties, or events narrow your options.
