Where Business Meets National Security Enforcement
As national security concerns intensify, the federal government has expanded its enforcement powers over economic sanctions, export controls, and foreign agency disclosure. This shift has created significant risks for businesses with international operations and executives navigating cross-border transactions.
The Department of Justice’s National Security Division leads criminal enforcement through coordination with local U.S. Attorney’s Offices, while civil enforcement falls to agencies like the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
