International Trade

International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel.

Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time. ...Read more
