About

Provided by Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP

The Sanctions, Export Controls & Anti-Money Laundering practice group of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP focuses on the full range of trade compliance, disclosures, enforcement actions, and authorizations involving the Commerce, State and Treasury Departments as well as the Department of Justice. 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 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. 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.  


Our practice is led by Ryan Fayhee, who previously served as the principal U.S. Department of Justice official overseeing sanctions and export control investigations and prosecutions nationally and also previously served on the inter-agency staff of CFIUS.
