Overview

U.S. and multinational corporations are increasingly affected by the range of U.S. laws and regulations governing international trade. The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), and the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) each plays an important role in administering and enforcing the intricate web of restrictions governing trade in U.S. products and technologies and the trade-related activities of U.S. parties. 

Understanding the potential scope and applicability of these various regulatory programs to global business operations is increasingly important in an era of heightened agency enforcement and enhanced penalties. And a thorough understanding of these various regulatory regimes is an essential foundation for developing an effective global trade compliance program. 

Sanjay Jose Mullick of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP and Kim Strosnider of Covington & Burling LLP will discuss: 

  • The basic elements of the export control regimes administered by BIS and DDTC 
  • The various economic sanctions programs administered by OFAC  
  • Key recent regulatory developments, including with respect to the Cuba and Iran sanctions and export control reform 
  • Enforcement trends 

This briefing is scheduled as a review of the fundamentals before PLI’s more advanced Coping with U.S. Export Controls and Sanctions 2015 program, being held on December 17-18, 2015 in Washington, D.C. Register for the two-day program and receive this briefing free as part of your registration.
