Practice Areas

Mike is chair of Reed Smith’s Global Regulatory Enforcement Group and a leading lawyer in our international trade and national security team. He represents clients on trade and regulatory enforcement matters, including export controls, economic sanctions and other laws governing cross-border transactions, in a variety of sectors, including financial services, defense and aerospace, manufacturing, life sciences, and energy and natural resources.

Mike’s practice is focused on the legal regimes that govern international trade, including sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC); export controls, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR); foreign investment controls (CFIUS); and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Mike routinely represents clients in enforcement actions and investigations before major U.S. agencies responsible for governing trade and commerce. He has represented clients in hundreds of regulatory enforcement matters, including voluntary disclosures, administrative proceedings, consent agreements, and agency-led investigations (subpoenas, directed disclosures, seizures and detentions).

Mike has served as a U.S. Government-approved external monitor with responsibility for oversight and monitoring activities subject to the ITAR, external audits, and a global corporate compliance program.
