What Our Clients Say
They are top notch and very efficient.
BCR acted as subject-matter experts on all fronts. BCR was always immediately responsive.
Within their specialty practice area, the firm has a deep bench. I don't think there is a better-value law firm out there for these matters. I felt the firm … really took the time to understand the client's business objectives and goals. They tailored their advice with those objectives in mind.
The firm provides practical analysis and guidance to its clients based on its extensive experience with past regimes, regardless of the complexity or ambiguity of more recent sanctions regimes.
Their ability to handle complex and sophisticated matters is very strong. The depth and breadth of their team is very strong.
Berliner Corcoran & Rowe is specialized in all aspects of US sanctions and US export controls. … They are big enough to adequately cover all relevant matters and small enough for us not to lose oversight on who is working on our case. As a team, they cover all aspects in great depth and breadth.
