OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on Export Controls and Trade Restrictions

  1. What These Regimes Can Affect

    These regimes can affect whether a transaction may proceed, whether funds may be transferred, whether technology or goods may be supplied and whether a company may continue dealing with a particular customer, shareholder or counterparty.

  2. Where These Issues Typically Arise

    Investment screening and export-control analysis is therefore frequently relevant to M&A, investment, financing, technology transfers, international trade and operations in sensitive sectors.

  3. What We Advise On

    We advise on investment screening, ownership and control, restricted counterparties, blocked or frozen assets, payment restrictions and the application of export restrictions to corporate groups and transactions.

  4. Export Controls on Goods, Technology and Services

    Our lawyers also advise on export controls affecting goods, software, technology, technical data and services, including transactions involving defense and dual-use products, advanced technology and strategically sensitive industries.

  5. Screening as Part of Due Diligence

    For acquisitions and investments, we incorporate investment screening and export-control review into due diligence and transaction structuring. A target’s customer base, shareholders, technology or supply chain may create regulatory exposure even where the acquiring investor itself is not subject to restrictions.

  6. Responding to Blocked Transactions and Compliance Concerns

    We also assist clients responding to blocked transactions, payment interruptions and internal compliance concerns.

  7. Why Continuing Monitoring Matters

    For businesses operating in defense, aerospace, technology, energy, financial services and international trade, these issues are particularly important and may require continuing regulatory monitoring as laws and government policies change.
