From ancient times to the present, commerce has driven relationships
among people and cultures.
The Firm
For millennia, people have shared their goods, services, and ideas with other people around the world through commercial transactions and humanitarian endeavors. These activities range from small, intimate activities to more complex arrangements spanning multiple countries.
However, the regulations governing these interactions have become increasingly complex in recent years, as have foreign policy considerations overlaying such transactions. The following U.S. regulations can have a bearing on these transactions:
economic sanctions
anti-money laundering
export controls
anti-bribery and anti-corruption
national security
cultural property and antiquities, and
foreign investment regulations.
These transactions can present complex issues with respect to property and shareholder rights, contract drafting, and commercial terms.
The Firm seeks to bring clarity to these regulations and their consequences with respect to U.S. law. Ms. Al-Attar, the Firm’s principal and founder, brings experience and multiple perspectives gained from years working in both the private sector and government grappling with many of these complex issues.
