Coping With U.S. Export Controls 2013


Why you should attend

It is more important than ever for institutions in all sectors of the economy to stay on top of export control and sanctions developments in the United States and other countries. Companies and financial institutions must be aware of their obligations under existing laws and regulations, the enforcement and disclosure risks they currently face, and those they may face in the future. Implementing and strengthening compliance programs is an increasingly important priority in all industries.

For over twenty years, PLI’s Coping with U.S. Export Controls has been the go-to program on trade control laws and regulations. The program enables attendees to “get inside” international trade controls through give-and-take between key officials from the government agencies that regulate cross-border trade and investment, experienced company managers and top lawyers in the field.

What you will learn

  • Export control reform: scope, status and implementation at the Departments of Commerce, State and Defense
  • Economic sanctions policy: Iran, Syria, Sudan, Burma and Cuba
  • Scope of end-use controls for China and managing compliance risk
  • Implementation of new authorities for retaliatory sanctions
  • Requirements and best practices for Iran-related SEC disclosure obligations
  • Multilateral trade control developments
  • Lessons from recent leading cases in trade control enforcement
  • Enforcement and voluntary disclosures: penalties and enforcement policies
  • Compliance programs: how to design and implement an effective and efficient system
Plus - register for this program and receive complimentary access to a One-Hour Audio Briefing on the Basics of Export Controls the week prior to the program.

Who should attend

Attorneys from law firms and law departments; counsel and managers from companies selling consumer, high-tech, and defense products; and from banks, carriers, and trade logistics firms.

PLI programs qualify for credit in all states that require mandatory continuing legal education for attorneys. Please be sure to check with your state and the credit calculator to the right for details.


Please check the CLE Calculator above each product description for CLE information specific to your state.

Special Note: In New York, newly admitted attorneys may receive CLE credit only for attendance at "transitional" programs during their first two years of admission to the Bar. Non-traditional course formats such as on-demand web programs or recorded items, are not acceptable for CLE credit. Experienced attorneys may choose to attend and receive CLE credit for either a transitional course or for one geared to experienced attorneys.  All product types, including on-demand web programs and recorded items, are approved for experienced attorneys.

Please Note: The State Bar of Arizona does not approve or accredit CLE activities for the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirement. PLI programs may qualify for credit based on the requirements outlined in the MCLE Regulations and Ariz. R. Sup. Ct. Rule 45.

If you have already received credit for attending some or the entire program, please be aware that state administrators do not permit you to accrue additional credit for repeat viewing even if an additional credit certificate is subsequently issued.

Credit will be granted only to the individual on record as the purchaser unless alternative arrangements (prearranged groupcast) are made in advance.
