We counsel clients and assist with strategic planning and regulatory compliance for buyers, sellers, strategic investors and venture capitalists, management groups, independent committees of directors and investment banking firms. Our experience runs the full gamut of structuring, tax, antitrust, intellectual property, workforce, global trade, customs, ERISA and environmental law.

We respond quickly and decisively to OFAC, BIS, DOJ and U.S. Census inquiries and investigations to remedy any export-related risks, violations, or administrative penalties. Import & Customs Our team counsels clients on all aspects of Customs laws and import regulations, including ways to minimize import duties through classification and valuation. That includes guiding our clients through the complex regulatory process of contesting Customs actions, such as audits, shipment holds and penalty notices, to minimize the impact of any enforcement action on an importer’s operations.
