International Guide to Export Controls and Economic Sanctions, Second Edition

Export controls and economic sanctions increasingly affect day-to-day business operations across the globe. No company with cross-border operations or even a multinational work force is immune from their application or can afford to ignore these laws. In recent years, controls over the export of goods, technology, and services now represent a core and extremely complex area of corporate compliance whether your client is involved in import/export activity, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, licensing agreements, distribution contracts, or banking and finance transactions. Since the first edition of International Guide to Export Controls and Economic Sanctions was published in 2014, export control laws have undergone profound change and the scope of international economic sanctions laws has expanded to affect virtually every industry in every corner of the World. Years in the making, the second edition of this handbook greatly expands the scope of the first edition. It provides an overview of this challenging and dynamic body of law in the U.S., twenty-three other countries and the EU. International Guide to Export Controls and Economic Sanctions, Second Edition, will be a valuable resource to both seasoned and novice counsel and compliance professionals alike, providing a thorough and practical guide in identifying the myriad issues, navigating the rules, and managing client legal and compliance risks in export controls and economic sanctions law.
