Our Services
Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Compliance
Not sure whether the FCPA applies to your company? It reaches private companies too — and it reaches what your agents, distributors, and partners do overseas. The program you actually need is usually smaller than you'd expect.
Sanctions, Export Controls, and International Trade
Shipping abroad and unsure what clearance you need? Three separate rule sets can apply to a single shipment — the item, the buyer, and the destination. Most problems start when a company checks one and assumes the rest.
Fractional General Counsel
Need real legal coverage without a full-time salary? A fractional general counsel handles the everyday work — contracts, vendor terms, regulatory questions — at a fraction of what an in-house hire costs.
Contracts
Need a lawyer to review a legal agreement before signing? Most contracts can be reviewed within days — and the clauses that cause the most trouble later are usually negotiable if you catch them before signature.
Business Law
Not sure if your company needs a business attorney? Most growing companies need three things handled well — contracts, entity housekeeping, and whatever regulator touches their industry. We'll tell you which one you're behind on.
Expert Legal Advice
Doing business where the rules aren't the ones you're used to? Companies operating in Latin America, West Africa, and the Gulf face local law, US enforcement reach, and lender demands all at once.
The team at The Wallenstein Law Group brings together attorneys and professionals with deep in-house, compliance, and international experience. Many of us have worked inside the kinds of companies we now advise, leading investigations, running compliance programs, and briefing executives who needed an answer, not a memo.
That experience shapes how we work. We know what a legal recommendation costs the business that has to carry it out, so our advice is built to be used: clear, proportionate to the real risk, and written for the people making the decision.
Our client advice is always:
Tailored
Custom-fit to each business need and risk profile.
Effective
Approaches based on extensive, in-house knowledge of what actually works.
Defensible
Strategies benchmarked against standard sector and cross-industry practice.
Measured
Advice focused on client needs, not hourly rates. (In fact, we prefer fixed fee arrangements.)
Global
Deep knowledge and on-the-ground experience in some of the world’s most challenging countries. (We have multi-lingual capacity —in English, Spanish and Portuguese.)
Let us focus on your legal matters, so you can focus on management.

- Vice President, Legal and Contracts, Offshore Oil & Gas Services
Josh has a tremendous ability to break down vast, intricate matters with several moving parts into a clear, concise and digestible manner. And he can do it when advising c-suite colleagues that do not possess a legal or compliance background. I have experienced first-hand the enormous value Josh's advice has on the business.
- General Counsel, International Drilling Operator
I worked with Josh for over 18 months covering what is perhaps the most challenging and culturally sensitive region within an international oil and gas services company’s portfolio. From the outset, his professionalism, knowledge, and skill were clear, and his dedication to his work and covering all angles really stood out. As a lawyer for a multinational, Josh was heavily involved in investigations and information gathering, and the time taken and the depth of his work proved invaluable in the Compliance Teams mission.
- Regional Logistics and Supply Chain Director, Oil & Gas Services
Josh is experienced, knowledgeable and critically is a stand -up person with very high ethical standards. We need more Josh-es.
