An Intro to Export Controls, Economic and Trade Sanctions: Understanding and Addressing Risks and Challenges

Webinar | 08.11.16, 9:00 AM EDT - 10:30 AM EDT

You must be certain you understand how U.S. controls on the export of goods, services, software and technology apply to your company. Otherwise, you could be risking your international sales and supply chain — along with your reputation.


The challenge is that the system of controls is so complex. It is all-too easy to miss or misinterpret rights and responsibilities under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Plus, you may not even be aware that you are now violating recent economic trade sanctions and embargoes.


To manage compliance and minimize risk, you must know what is covered and what rules, restrictions and exceptions apply. Here is the help you need.


Government Contracts Group Counsel Addie Cliffe, International Trade Group Counsel Chris Monahan and Associate Jana del-Cerro will be conducting this webinar.

Terminations, Stop Work Orders, and De-Scopes – The Latest Updates and Recovery Opportunities for USAID Contractors and Grant Recipients

In 2025, the U.S. Government’s policy statements and Executive Orders have had far-reaching impacts for government contractors and grant recipients. Although terminations, stop work orders, and de-scopes have affected private companies, non-profits, and universities doing business across multiple agencies, the U.S. Government’s policies relating to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has caused particular confusion and uncertainty relating to performance, compliance, and contractual procedure. Key questions have included the potential impacts of official and less formal communications from the U.S. Government, procedural issues arising from the move of certain functions to the U.S. Department of State, and the effect of various pending litigations. As businesses and organizations plan for 2026, the importance of preserving their rights and maximizing potential recovery opportunities remains paramount.
