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. 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. ...Read more

Export controls are a set of laws and regulations that govern the physical or electronic movement, transfer, or brokering of commodities, tooling, equipment, materials, software, technology, data, and services (collectively, “Items”), worldwide, to jurisdictions outside of a given country (example: non-U.S. jurisdictions), persons (individuals or entities) who are not a part of a given country (example: non-U.S. persons), and for prohibited end-uses.
