New Book! Sanctions and Export Controls Practice Guide

PLI Press is thrilled to announce the publication Sanctions and Export Controls Practice Guide. This clear and concise guide covers current key domestic and global regimes governing international trade restrictions and, importantly, also provides foundational knowledge of the field so that practitioners can effectively research existing requirements and develop compliance strategies as laws change. The book focuses on explaining relevant legal frameworks, compliance strategies, enforcement mechanisms, and recent trends, and there are numerous practice tips throughout. While the book primarily focuses on U.S. sanctions and export controls programs, it also covers multilateral regimes of the United Nations and the European Union, autonomous regimes of individual foreign nations, and coordinated regimes among nations. This book will serve as a useful guide for both specialists in international trade law and general practitioners representing companies and other entities that engage in cross-border transactions.
