Export Controls Enforcement
The enforcement climate surrounding export control and sanctions laws is quite aggressive. The sanctions and regulations issued by the various agencies involved in this area (such as the Department of State (ITAR issues), the Department of Commerce (EAR issues) and the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC)) are not only complex but change as frequently as U.S. foreign policy changes. Jackson Walker attorneys with backgrounds in government, as in-house counsel, and in private practice work together to keep clients apprised of the latest OFAC initiatives while assuring compliance and responding to allegations of possible violations.
