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.

Secured, with co-counsel, final approval of an historic settlement of over US$2.75B in back-damages for current and former college-athletes and a new revenue-sharing model allowing schools to share future earnings with athletes. This decade-long effort across four different lawsuits redefines the economics of college sports, affirming athlete rights and fair compensation. Following a 9-0 Supreme Court victory in Alston v. NCAA, the team filed three antitrust class actions, resulting in a groundbreaking settlement that creates a revenue-sharing system projected to generate at least US$20B in new, previously prohibited payments and benefits to Division I college athletes over the next decade. The settlement was recognized in Am Law‘s Litigator of the Week column.

Sanctions can be used by one country or a group of countries against another country, organization, or individual. The implementation of sanctions is meant to encourage a change in behavior, punish non-compliance with international norms or laws, or achieve specific policy objectives. There are various types of sanctions, including economic or financial, diplomatic, military, or environmental. Sanctions can also take on several forms, such as penalties, fines, or restrictions.

What Is the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)?
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is the U.S. Government agency that leases offshore areas on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) for energy development, including offshore renewable energy such as offshore wind. The organization’s goal is to responsibly manage OCS energy and resources in the interest of energy independence, environmental sustainability, economic development, and national security. BOEM utilizes the expertise of scientists and technical professionals who share information and research that contributes to the bureau’s decision making. The bureau is part of the U.S. Department of Interior. BOEM’s sister agency—the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement or BSEE—enforces offshore safety, environmental and other requirements in tandem with BOEM issued leases and works closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal and state agencies. BOEM has reported that OCS production accounts for approximately 18 percent of the nation’s crude oil supply and 4 percent of the domestic natural gas supply. BOEM is currently engaged in an extensive offshore wind leasing program with a number of leases already existing for wind farms off the U.S. East Coast.
