Mission Statement

“My mission is to help small- to medium-sized companies make sense of the labyrinth of embargoes and economic sanctions law. Any company can inadvertently conduct business with a blacklisted party and find themselves dealing with significant penalties.

I offer cost-effective compliance solutions tailored to your specific business model. With 30 plus years of international trade law experience and certification as a U.S. Export Compliance Officer, I am a highly qualified attorney in this area of the law. My solutions include from customized policies, procedures and escalation matrices to selecting screening software that’s right for your business model to legal advice on managing and mitigating a violation crisis.”
