International Regulation & Compliance

We have a long history of counseling clients on the scope, meaning, and administration of the legal requirements affecting international business transactions. We understand the subtleties of these requirements, provide candid and sound legal advice, and offer solutions that are sensitive to business objectives. In addition, our attorneys have substantial experience in assisting clients to manage commercial and regulatory risks in international transactions, as well as other issues, including immigration and international fora challenges.

EU and WTO activities affect commercial operations—export controls, economic sanctions, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, antiboycott regulations, immigration, and foreign investment review and regulation—across the member states and their trading partners. Our lawyers and regulatory specialists draw on a broad range of knowledge and experience to advise on matters involving national legal systems and on issues raised in the EU and WTO context, in order to promote our clients’ business goals.
