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.
Practice Area
Trial skills matter—even in a world where few disputes ever see the inside of a courtroom. Winston has built a reputation as a trial lawyers’ firm, featuring seasoned litigators who leverage extensive courtroom experience to meet our clients’ business and legal objectives. Our long history of taking cases to trial—and winning—provides our clients with tremendous settlement leverage with their adversaries, as well as a substantial likelihood of a favorable resolution if, and when, they go to trial.

Sanctions are penalties or other means of enforcement used to provide incentives for obedience to the law, rules, and regulations. 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.
