She frequently advises leaders in business, finance, and government on risk management strategies, investigations, and regulatory compliance matters.

During the course of her career, Snežana has led complex, and often high-profile, cross-border investigations into corruption, fraud, embezzlement, and misconduct. She is a leading expert in international asset tracing and recovery investigations and assists clients with judgment and award enforcement. Snežana has also served as an integrity monitor.
