About

Provided by Torys LLP

Torys’ International Trade team works with an extensive array of clients on a range of international trade matters, including NAFTA/WTO issues, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, sanctions compliance, and export control issues, etc. We advise these clients on an ongoing basis as they continue to seek international business opportunities.

Torys’ International Trade group is also go-to counsel for companies encountering unique or novel anti-money laundering and sanctions issues. For example, Torys is at the forefront of addressing novel issues arising from the intersection between U.K. anti-money laundering reporting and amnesty regimes and differing Canadian anti-money laundering laws containing an absolute prohibition and without explicit provision for a legally-enforceable defence if reported. Torys was also sought out to advise on novel areas of U.S. sanctions against Cuba that President Trump rendered applicable in 2019 and what Canadian companies can do to minimize their impact.
