Gwen Green concentrates her practice on international trade and regulatory compliance matters that facilitate clients’ efficient trade with and from the U.S.
Gwen advises clients how to develop and implement corporate compliance programs in the areas of U.S. export controls, U.S. economic sanctions, anti-boycott regulations, foreign investment in the U.S., and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
A significant part of Gwen’s practice involves internal investigations, voluntary disclosures, and compliance program reviews involving the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and U.S. sanctions regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Her practice also includes counseling and advising clients in due diligence investigations, audits, and risk assessments.
Gwen’s comprehensive understanding of this complex, highly-regulated and ever-changing area allows her to proactively guide clients to re-evaluate and revise programs so they can continue doing business. When possible violations are discovered, Gwen provides strategic advice regarding the voluntary disclosure process, and she helps clients navigate and negotiate potential penalties.
