International Trade - Sanctions & Embargoed Countries
The U.S. government has imposed trade and other economic sanctions on a variety of countries under nearly two dozen sanctions programs administered by the Treasury Department. Trade restrictions target transactions not only with countries that are subject to a US embargo, but also with a growing number of terrorist organizations, drug traffickers, and other designated parties. Although trade restrictions prohibit much economic activity with these parties, certain opportunities still exist. We provide clients the following types of assistance:
- advice on numerous restrictions on trade and financial transactions, as well as permissible transactions, licensing requirements, and enforcement activities
- assistance with internal investigations and voluntary disclosures
- design and implementation of compliance programs
- representation during civil and criminal enforcement proceedings
