ABOUT EYTAN FISCH

I am a partner in Skadden\'s Financial Institutions Regulation and Enforcement Group. My practice focuses on economic sanctions, anti-money laundering, and general compliance and regulatory matters.I joined Skadden after nearly six years with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where I held a variety of senior positions. Most recently, from 2013 to 2015, I served as the assistant director for policy in the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). In this role, I managed OFAC’s policy office and worked directly with the OFAC director and the undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence on the planning, development and implementation of U.S. economic sanctions.I played a leading role in shaping the development of new executive orders, OFAC regulations, general licenses and policy guidance across U.S. sanctions programs. I also worked closely with other governments on multilateral economic sanctions. Between October 2013 and January 2015, I represented the Treasury Department on the U.S. delegation to the P5 + 1 negotiations with Iran. In 2010, I also served as a member of the U.S. team that negotiated the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program agreement with the European Union.Prior to my role as OFAC assistant director for policy, I served in several leadership positions in OFAC and other offices in the Treasury Department’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Among these positions, I served as senior adviser to Stuart A. Levey — the Treasury’s first undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence — and as assistant director in the Office of Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes. In those roles, I worked extensively with OFAC and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network on a range of matters, including financial sanctions, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing. I received the U.S. Department of the Treasury Secretary’s Meritorious Service Award in 2015.
