In coordination with our litigation practices, the International Trade group often advises U.S. multinational companies and their representatives abroad on various anti-corruption and anti-terrorist financing compliance matters, including FCPA issues relating to sales agents, joint ventures, acquisitions and competition for foreign government contracts. We also advise on structuring compliance training programs to conform with FCPA prohibitions and securities law requirements. Our International Trade lawyers provide advice on compliance and representation in connection with financial institution regulatory enforcement actions and examinations.
