Special Situations
& Crisis Management

Asari Legal is one of the few firms on the market with truly systemic expertise in supporting clients through legal and economic turbulence. We operate at the intersection of law, strategy, and governance, helping businesses stay resilient and protect their interests in times of crisis and transformation.

We assist clients in their most complex and sensitive matters, including sanctions and special economic measures, corporate conflicts, asset restructuring, and responses to force majeure, regulatory pressure, and reputational risk.

Expertise
  • Tailored strategies

    Every special situation is unique. We begin with a thorough diagnostic review and then build a bespoke action plan — from legal analysis and scenario planning to implementation of strategic decisions and communications support.

    Our work includes:

    • developing crisis strategies to minimise legal, financial, and reputational risks

    • supporting business and asset restructurings, including transactions under restrictive regimes

    • representing clients in negotiations with government authorities, banks, investors, and other stakeholders

    • coordinating communication strategies in crisis situations, including media and stakeholder relations

    • advising on compliance with special economic measures, foreign exchange controls, and export control regulations

  • Agile and outcome-focused

    Our lawyers combine deep legal expertise with hands-on experience managing crises across sectors and jurisdictions. We know how to keep our footing in the midst of uncertainty and rapidly changing regulations, remaining a reliable partner for our clients when stability matters most.

    Asari Legal acts as a strategic partner in special situations — when it is crucial to move precisely, confidently, and ahead of the curve.
