Overview
At Honigman, we understand the intricate landscape of international trade controls and compliance. With the global marketplace constantly evolving, businesses face a myriad of challenges in navigating trade regulations, sanctions and export controls. Our deep bench of seasoned attorneys, that includes former government officials and prosecutors, specialize in providing comprehensive solutions to effectively manage and mitigate risks associated with international trade. We regularly present to legal and other industry groups on trade controls matters and provide customized training programs and workshops to educate clients on the intricacies of international trade controls and compliance best practices.
We represent clients in a broad range of sectors, including automotive, aviation, medical device, information technology and semiconductor chips. Our clients value our responsive, hands on and practical counsel that is rooted in decades of compliance program experience. Our team prepares our clients to manage the strategic concerns that arise from global business transactions by ensuring their compliance programs are integrated into their business and not simply a policy collecting dust.
This proactive approach, combined with our experience, enables us to quickly identify and evaluate situations when a business may be in violation of federal law. We then help clients proactively institute better screening and internal policies to prevent federal investigations or help them build effective responses to investigations should they arise.
Our services include:
- Compliance Assessment – To protect our clients' business, we conduct thorough assessments of their trade compliance programs to ensure alignment with applicable laws and regulations. Through comprehensive reviews, we identify areas of potential risk and provide tailored recommendations for improvement.
- Export Controls - Our attorneys possess extensive experience in assisting clients with export control matters, including compliance with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and other relevant regimes. We provide guidance on export classifications, licensing requirements, and technology transfer issues.
- Sanctions Compliance - Navigating the complex landscape of sanctions regimes requires a deep understanding of international law and policy. We assist clients in developing robust sanctions compliance programs, conducting risk assessments, and providing ongoing support to ensure adherence to sanctions regulations imposed by various jurisdictions.
