OFAC recognizes that individuals on the SDN List whose property and interests are blocked pursuant to an Executive order are entitled to legal services in certain circumstances. One of those circumstances is the “[provision of legal advice and counseling on the requirements of and compliance with the laws of the United States ....” 31 C.F.R. § 584.507(a)(1). With regard to engaging SPG’s services, the “Note to paragraph (a)” states: Consistent with §584.404 [“Transactions ordinarily incident to a licensed transaction”], U.S. persons do not need to obtain specific authorization to provide related services, such as making filings and providing other administrative services, that are ordinarily incident to the provision of services authorized by this paragraph. Additionally, U.S. persons who provide services authorized by this paragraph do not need to obtain specific authorization to contract for related services that are ordinarily incident to the provision of those legal services, such as those provided by private investigators or expert witnesses, or to pay for such services. As Venable is a “U.S. person” providing legal services, neither Venable nor SPG needs to obtain specific authorization to contract for, or to provide, “related services.” Thank you for agreeing to work with us on this matter. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, D.E. Wilson, Jr, W Attorneyfor Slobodan Tesic 19500133
