About the Program
U.S. export controls set the rules for the export (from the U.S.), re-export (between foreign countries), and transfer (between end users in a foreign country) of tangible and intangible goods. These rules are complex and aggressively enforced on a strict liability basis. They create a plethora of risks for U.S. and foreign businesses with global sales, as many businesses have experienced during the recent Russia/Ukraine crisis. Both in-house and outside counsel must be able to identify export control risk triggers so they can spot and raise issues for their clients. These risks can often appear in many contexts, including international sales, software businesses, mergers and acquisitions, inbound foreign investment, litigation involving advanced technologies, sponsorship of foreign employees, research collaboration with universities, and even patent prosecution.
