International Trade - Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
Crowell & Moring Capabilities
Crowell & Moring's International Trade lawyers advise clients on US foreign trade laws that directly affect the international business activities of American corporations. Our attorneys advise clients on these policy-driven laws and regulations, including:
- Antiboycott Act, which make it illegal for companies to comply with non-US sanctioned boycotts by foreign countries
- Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits making payments or giving anything of value to foreign government officials in order to obtain or retain business
Even well-intentioned, but ill-informed, overseas activities can give rise to serious penalties under these laws and regulations. We routinely counsel clients on compliance issues arising under these statutes and, where required, represent them before the appropriate government agencies.
