Trade Finance & Documentary Risk Advisory for U.S. Importers & Exporters

When LC terms look workable,
but documentary risk tells a different story.

I help companies review letters of credit, documentary requirements, bank guarantees and transaction terms so finance teams can identify discrepancies, impractical clauses and payment-risk issues before documents go to the bank.
