International Regulatory Compliance
Mr. Krauland's experience in the international trade area includes representing clients on matters involving US and multilateral economic sanctions, dual use and defense export controls, payment abroad of commissions and other marketing funds, anti-money laundering compliance, DSAA and State Department certifications, and anti-boycott and FCPA enforcement.  His practice spans all aspects of these laws, including counseling, compliance and transactional advice, licensing and opinion work, internal reviews, and enforcement actions.  He has extensive experience dealing with the principal US agencies, including the Commerce Department, State Department, Treasury Department, Defense Security Service, and Justice Department.  He has served as co-chair of the International Trade Committee of the ABA Section of International Law and Practice.  He is currently the Chairman of an ABA-wide Task Force on Gatekeeper Regulation and co-chair of the ABA Section of International Law and Practice’s Task Force on money laundering and professional responsibility.

Mr. Krauland practices in the area of administrative litigation (for US and foreign clients involving import relief trade litigation under US antidumping and countervailing duty statutes) and international arbitration and dispute settlements before arbitral tribunals (such as the US-Iran Claims Tribunal, the UN Claims Commission, and ad hoc arbitrations involving UNCITRAL arbitration rules and procedures). His experience includes complex investor-sovereign investment disputes, contract terminations and non-performance claims, and disputes arising from emerging economy restructurings (such as privatizations in the former Soviet Union).

International Government Procurement
Mr. Krauland has assisted clients in Buy America Act and Trade Agreements Act compliance, handled disputes over US-origin content requirements under the Buy American Act, and spoken on the elements of US-origin content requirements under these statutes.  He has served as chairman and vice chairman of the International Procurement Committee of the ABA Section of Public Contract Law, and has also advised public interest and bar association groups on public procurement regimes for the emerging economies of the former Soviet Union.
