International Sanctions and Export Controls

With our experienced team of sanctions and export control lawyers, we can deploy our deep understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks to advance your practical business objectives. We offer practical day-to-day compliance and compliance program development advice, as well as compliance system review and auditing capabilities. Importantly, our team also includes knowledgeable and experienced investigators for when internal or external investigations arise.

We have worked with leading energy companies dealing with international sanctions against Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Russia, Sudan, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, and many others. We also currently advise a number of multinational investment firms and financial institutions in day-to-day compliance matters, and are advising a major financial institution in an internal investigation of potential sanctions violations.

Experience tells us you would rather avoid difficult situations before they happen and we have several tools to help you. Our global sanctions guide covers 70 different jurisdictions and we are regularly told by clients there is no other guide like it. Sanctions change frequently, following the foreign policy of different countries, and our online sanctions development tracker will help you to stay on top of developments, as they happen. We can also offer you and your staff training in sanctions and export controls
