Overview
The Sanctions, Export Controls & Anti-Money Laundering practice group of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP advises clients on the full range of U.S. and European Union trade compliance, disclosures, enforcement actions, and authorizations involving the Commerce, State and Treasury Departments, the Department of Justice, as well as the European Commission and national competent authorities in the EU. Our team identifies and mitigates economic sanctions and export controls compliance risks, performs due diligence, investigates, and assists with potential remediation.
We regularly advise U.S. and foreign companies on licensing, commodity jurisdiction and classification issues, compliance with regulations governing the transfer of technology to foreign nationals, compliance programs, disclosures, enforcement matters (civil and criminal), and audits. We regularly conduct sanctions and export control due diligence in broad range of corporate contexts. We develop, evaluate, and assist in implementing sanctions and export control compliance programs. We also provide advice on the extraterritorial impact of U.S. export controls on overseas business transactions, counsel clients on the U.S. antiboycott regulations, and provide advice on the intersection of export controls and classified information requirements in designing compliance programs. We also provide advice on the growing reach of European Union sanctions and trade controls. Finally, we shepherd multinational companies through the foreign investment review process conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) and advise on compliance issues arising during the due diligence process in mergers and acquisitions.
As needed, our export control group draws upon Hughes Hubbard & Reed’s strengths in many intersecting areas, including international corporate transactions and joint ventures, employment, intellectual property, corporate governance, litigation and telecommunications.
Experience

We have also represented a wide array of European and international companies in sanctions, export controls and related matters before national competent authorities in the EU as well as before the European Commission. We also represent industries affected by U.S. and European foreign policy and sanctions-related export controls because of the location of their business operations, including telecommunications, aerospace and defense, energy, automotive, computers, information security (encryption), freight forwarding, general manufacturing, financial and accounting services, pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals.
