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.

In a marked shift toward competition-focused healthcare policy, the latest Executive Order on drug pricing reflects the Administration’s expanding use of antitrust tools to address high pharmaceutical costs.

Here’s what companies across the healthcare sector need to know.

Richard Weber Discusses Shift in DOJ Cryptocurrency Enforcement on The F.O.R.C.E. Podcast
Winston & Strawn partner Richard Weber was featured in an episode of the FIBA on Risk and Compliance Excellence (F.O.R.C.E.), a podcast where banking and financial industry professionals, law enforcement, and regulators discuss topics regarding financial crime, risk, regulations, and anti-money laundering. In the episode, Rich joins President and CEO of FIBA David Schwartz to explore the U.S. Department of Justice’s pivot in cryptocurrency enforcement and what it means for financial institutions, digital asset companies, and regulators. They unpack the DOJ’s decision to disband its National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team and narrow its focus to criminal abuse of digital assets, focusing on topics including why prosecutions tied to fraud, terrorism, financing, and organized crime remain active; the enduring risk for institutions despite less enforcement messaging; how state regulators are stepping up as federal agencies scale back; why companies must prioritize compliance; and more.

What Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)?
The Federal Acquisition Regulation, commonly referred to as “FAR,” is a collection of regulations governing the process by which the federal government purchases products, supplies, and services. The FAR consists of 53 parts, each covering a different aspect of the government procurement process. FAR part 52, for example, provides solicitation provisions and clauses that can (and in some instances must) be inserted into contracts with the government. While the FAR applies to all executive agencies, many agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Veterans Affairs, have issued their own supplements to the FAR which provide regulatory guidance on contracting issues that are unique to them.
