Due to the increasing complexities attendant on doing business internationally, and to ensure the comprehensive representation of your needs, our International Trade attorneys work closely with a wide array of other Centre practice groups throughout our transactional and litigation departments.
In coordination with our litigation practices, the International Trade group often advises U.S. multinational companies and their representatives abroad on various anti-corruption and anti-terrorist financing compliance matters, including FCPA issues relating to sales agents, joint ventures, acquisitions and competition for foreign government contracts. We also advise on structuring compliance training programs to conform with FCPA prohibitions and securities law requirements. Our International Trade lawyers provide advice on compliance and representation in connection with financial institution regulatory enforcement actions and examinations.
We serve as counsel in proceedings involving the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. courts. We are well known for acting as compliance monitors and/or in advising those monitors. We also advise on EU and individual European country compliance and enforcement matters.
