EKVITA is THE FIRST – and so far, the only – consulting company in CIS region to get ISO 37001 certification. EKVITA is also Accredited Audit Partner of an international certifying agency enabling us to prepare organisations of all size for ISO 37001 certification process.    

We represented the International Bank of Azerbaijan on a $3.3 billion debt restructuring case in US and UK courts, acted for AIG in M&A deal and regulatory compliance.  This diverse practice necessarily entailed establishment by EKVITA of a strong internal compliance system as well as helping clients to develop and maintain their own.
