CFIUS, OFAC, and the Increasing Impact of U.S. National Security and Foreign Policy Regulations on Cross-Border Trade and Investment

The Paul Hastings Global Trade Controls practice cordially invites you to a seminar to be held on March 5, 2015, in our Seoul office.

The United States continues to expand the reach of regulations affecting the cross-border flows of goods, capital, and technologies, including economic sanctions, export controls, and foreign investment restrictions and reviews.

Please join Scott M. Flicker, the Chair of the Paul Hastings Washington, D.C. Office and head of our Global Trade Controls practice for a practical discussion of the latest developments in the U.S. programs that impact international transactions, including:

The “CFIUS” Foreign Investment Review Process

• Exon Florio review and how it might apply to an investment or strategic acquisition?
• What is CFIUS and how does it operate?
• “The Smithfield Case: What Does Bacon Have to Do with National Security?” How to prepare for political and regulatory scrutiny of sensitive transactions.

Sanctions and Export Controls

• The “OFAC” sanctions programs directed at Russia, Crimea, Iran, Syria, and Sudan.
• Changes to U.S. policy and sanctions against Cuba.
• How to determine whether a transaction is subject to export controls (hint: it's not just limited to shipments of goods across borders) and whether the relevant controls are civilian (EAR) or military (ITAR) in nature.
• How to screen a transaction for possible trade controls issues.
• What are “Anti-Money Laundering” laws and how might they apply to your business?

This seminar is part of our ongoing client training program, open to our selected clients and professional friends. If you wish to attend, please RSVP as instructed in the right-hand column. Please note we have limited space for the seminar and will accept registrations on a first-come-first-served basis.
