Industry
Winston’s financial crimes compliance lawyers have been providing regulatory compliance counseling and enforcement services related to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020 (AML), and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) policy for decades. We also have experience with international AML matters, including in the EU and with respect to Financial Actions Task Force (FATF) recommendations.
Region
Winston has a well-established presence in Europe representing clients for over three decades. We demonstrate excellence advising clients on transactional, disputes and regulatory matters in the financial services, private equity, industrial, health, and technology sectors. Our European offices bring together a unique blend of deep local knowledge and global expertise, allowing us to effectively navigate complex cross-border legal matters.
Practice Area
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. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

What Is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Law?
The European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law is an act, applied across the Union, which directs data privacy. The GDPR law is designed to protect the data privacy of all EU citizens and guide organizational approaches to handling data, as well as transferring it across borders. Under the GDPR, breach notification is mandatory within 72 hours if the breach is likely to “result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals.” The GDPR applies to organizations within the EU as well as those outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to European citizens. It also applies to organizations that monitor the behavior of data subjects online.
Location
Winston & Strawn’s Brussels office further establishes our preeminent EU antitrust/competition practice at the epicenter of European competition law. The office is located on the famous Rue de la Loi or Wetstraat, which connects the Belgium Federal Parliament with the European Commission headquarters—the Berlaymont—and the Justus Lipsius, home to the Council of the European Union.
