Export controls and economic sanctions lawyers at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP work in close coordination with their white-collar defense and investigations colleagues to provide full-service advice on matters intersecting trade and anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and national security. Handling a broad scope of advisory, licensing, investigative and transactional matters, the team’s ability to draw on the wider firm’s M&A firepower and international platform ensures it is routinely engaged by multinational corporations seeking advice on US regulations—it also advises on EU, UN and UK regimes. Adam Smith co-heads the group and combines experience in international trade compliance and white-collar investigations. The Washington DC-based practice also draws on Stephenie Gosnell Handler, who focuses on cybersecurity and technology-related matters; senior of counsel Ronald Kirk, who additionally co-heads the overarching trade team; and newly promoted partner Christopher Timura. Since research concluded, former co-chair Judith Alison Lee left the team.
