With professional fluency in Russian and Mandarin, Dmitry bridges language and cultural barriers, offering valuable insights for clients navigating complex global trade and regulatory matters. He works closely with attorneys to develop practical solutions for clients facing challenges before the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), and other federal agencies.
