If structuring and negotiating international transactions is not difficult enough, the intricate web of U.S. laws and regulations that govern the export of goods and services are complicated, fraught with risk, and enough to make the most sophisticated in-house lawyer’s head spin. We will simplify and distill these laws and regulations and provide simple and straightforward guidance on how to pragmatically approach the export licensing process.

Everything from export classification, to the licensing analysis, to exceptions and exemptions, to the various licensing vehicles offered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls at the U.S Department of State and the Bureau of Industry and Security at the U.S. Department of Commerce, to the export license application process, and export license provisos will be discussed. Along the way, we will highlight common pitfalls and practical strategies for licensing success!

Presented by Adam Munitz, Partner and member of FH+H's International Trade + Transactions practice and Katherine “Kitty” Pongratz, Director, Contracts & International Trade Compliance at Optics 1 Inc.
