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.

End of the Line: Winston Wins Unanimous Supreme Court Victory Against NJ Transit
In a unanimous decision authored by Justice Sotomayor, the U.S. Supreme Court held that NJ Transit is not an arm of the State of New Jersey and therefore is not entitled to sovereign immunity. The ruling means that plaintiffs injured by NJ Transit outside of New Jersey—such as in Pennsylvania and New York—may pursue claims in the courts of the states where their injuries occurred. The court adopted Winston’s position that state-created corporations that are formally liable for their own judgments are not arms of the state, reversing the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s dismissal of Cedric Galette’s negligence suit while affirming the New York Court of Appeals’ decision allowing Jeffrey Colt’s case to proceed.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) refers to policies and practices that prevent, detect, and report financial crimes. The principal U.S. federal law on money laundering is the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), also known as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970. The BSA generally mandates financial institutions to assist in governmental investigations by keeping records of cash purchases or negotiable instruments, filing reports of cash transactions exceeding a set daily aggregate amount, and reporting suspicious activity that may hint at money laundering, tax evasion, or other criminal activities.

What Is the Securities Exchange Act of 1934?
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) established the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and gave it the power to oversee the securities industry. Through the Exchange Act, the SEC gained the authority to register, regulate, and oversee brokerage firms, transfer agents, and clearing agencies. The Commission also has authority over the U.S. securities self-regulatory organizations (SROs), including: The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market, Chicago Board of Options, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. SROs must have guidelines in place to make sure investors are protected.
