We understand the various export control programs that regulate the transfer of goods, technology, software, services, and information to foreign destinations.

Violations of export control regulations can lead to criminal sanctions, disclosures, suspension of export privileges or even government contract debarment. Our clients range from government contractors to private sector corporations, and we know how to provide the necessary advice and assistance based on each client’s circumstances.

Our attorneys can assist clients with registering with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, the licensing review process and gaining government authorization. We have experience involving export licensing and compliance, assisting with the hiring and deployment of foreign nationals, development of export control compliance programs, and the representation of clients in export control violations and government investigations.
