International Trade Controls
Exporting global insight on compliance
International trade is making the world smaller and communication easier, but the regulations governing it are increasingly entangled and difficult to navigate. Trade agreements, tariffs, and sourcing requirements are constantly shifting as geopolitical tensions flare around the world. At the same time, digital technology is redefining how international trade is conducted, introducing new challenges in rapidly changing policy, regulatory, and risk environments. In today’s trade environment, success requires expertise with technology, security policy, and numerous contrasting regulatory and legal regimes, as well as experience assembling all the pieces in ways that organizations can understand and execute.
Our team builds and enhances compliance programs to embed regulatory requirements in all trade systems and processes. We also facilitate data-driven risk identification, provide licensing support, and execute regulatory investigations, compliance reviews, and audits.
