Complex environments
Practice Areas – Proelium LawWe make the distinction between complex environments and high risk jurisdictions deliberately. As a client, you should be aware of the different approaches you should adopt to each.
Complex Environments
As a client, you should be aware of the different approaches you should adopt to complex environments vice high-risk jurisdictions. We see complex environments as very broad in scope, and our understanding of these areas leads us to define them as follows:
Characteristics
- Medium to high levels of political violence or a significant risk of it occuring
- Financial complexity such as being listed as one of the top corrupt counties on the Transparency International website
- Recent history of human rights abuses
- There is post conflict reconstruction efforts in place following a recent conflict in order to stabilise the country
- Significant cultural complexities that make business difficult

General UK Focus
Whilst we have a clear international focus for our clients, our UK-facing work is equally important. Across security, defence, international development and insurance sectors, the UK remains a major supplier of goods and services.
High Risk Jurisdictions
We view our overseas markets as being either High-Risk Jurisdictions, or Complex Environments. We classify high-risk jurisdictions as those that have ongoing conflict (which could be full scale internal or external armed conflict), a significant insurgency or terrorist campaign, or countries around which piracy is prevalent.
