Gwen Green concentrates her practice on international trade and regulatory compliance matters that facilitate clients’ efficient trade with and from the U.S.
Gwen counsels U.S. and non-U.S. companies, organizations, and individuals on laws and regulations affecting international trade and business, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration Regulations (EAR), U.S. sanctions regulations administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), laws governing the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
A significant part of Gwen’s practice involves internal investigations, voluntary disclosures, and compliance program reviews involving the ITAR, EAR, U.S. economic sanctions, and the FCPA. Her practice also includes counseling and advising clients in due diligence investigations, audits, and risk assessments. In addition, Gwen helps clients navigate the complex regulatory and compliance issues often implicated in foreign investments in the United States and guides clients through the CFIUS review process.
Gwen regularly advises clients how to develop and implement effective corporate compliance programs in the areas of U.S. export controls, U.S. economic sanctions, anti-boycott regulations, and the FCPA. Gwen’s comprehensive understanding of these complex, highly-regulated and ever-changing areas 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.
