Welcome to Our New Blog

Welcome to the K&L Gates National Security and International Trade Update, a product of our global international trade and national security practices.

We hope you will find this a valuable resource for the latest developments on policies and regulations arising from global national security and international trade considerations.

National security is a driving factor in a wide range of cross-border regulations, restrictive measures, and controls ranging from export licensing requirements on goods, economic sanctions, data and data security, import restrictions and tariffs, customs and carbon trading and border adjustment, technology transfer restrictions, cybersecurity, foreign subsidies control, as well as foreign investment controls, both inbound and outbound.

These measures are complex and often overlapping, and failure to comply could have serious adverse consequences including governmental investigations, civil and criminal fines and penalties, commercial litigation, loss of business opportunities, and reputational damage. The K&L Gates National Security and International Trade Update provides key information on current and proposed measures to inform you on the latest trends and developments and to assist you in negotiating this complex landscape and chart a successful course for your organization or business.

Updates in this blog are organized by categories and tags — please refer to those in the right-hand sidebar to locate topics of interest, or use the search function. If you have any questions, please use the contact link at the bottom or contact the authors of individual posts.

Thank you for your time and attention to the K&L Gates National Security and International Trade Update.
