We are one of the few firms able to integrate a deep store of talent, understanding of government, and a premier international presence to offer U.S. and non-U.S. companies of all sizes assistance in handling international business activities efficiently and with minimum regulatory delay -- whether involving cross-border mergers and acquisitions, litigation and arbitration, bankruptcy issues, intellectual property and technology transfers, classified environments, or government investigations.
Specifically, Jones Day lawyers represent and counsel clients in connection with investigations and enforcement actions relating to trade control laws, and assist clients to comply with various U.S. trade controls and restrictions, including:
- Export Administration Regulations (EAR) administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) at the U.S. Department of Commerce
- International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) administered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) at the U.S. Department of State
- Economic sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) at the U.S. Department of the Treasury
- The National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) administered by the Defense Security Service (DSS) at the U.S. Department of Defense
We also regularly counsel and represent clients in connection with national security reviews of foreign investments in U.S. businesses by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Jones Day’s CFIUS team includes experienced merger review lawyers and former government officials with first-hand knowledge of the way CFIUS conducts reviews, mitigates national security risks, and interprets its legal authorities following the passage of the Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA). With particular and current insight into the Executive Branch, Congressional, political, and public dynamics that can affect sensitive international transactions, Jones Day attorneys are uniquely positioned to assist clients to navigate successfully the complications and uncertainties that can accompany today’s national security review processes.
Clients also routinely seek the advice of Jones Day lawyers on the application of trade laws in mergers and acquisitions, as well as on the impact of U.S. regulations on the business activities of non-U.S. companies. Jones Day strives not only to resolve our clients’ legal issues, but to consider and help them manage the political, reputational, and public considerations that can accompany high-stakes international commercial transactions.
