Partner @Berliner Corcoran & Rowe Llp

DC, US

Perry has handled hundreds of sanctions projects, including civil penalty proceedings, compliance, counseling, delisting, expert testimony, internal investigations, interpretative rulings, licensing, and securities disclosure. His experience with sanctions extends beyond OFAC regulations to include such statutes as the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), Helms-Burton Act, the Iran Sanctions Act, and the Sudan Accountability and Divestment Act (SADA), as well as international measures like UN Security Council resolutions and foreign “blocking statutes.” Perry regularly co-counsels with sanctions lawyers in other countries on multijurisdictional issues. Perry has also handled numerous national security reviews of cross-border investments by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) under the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (FIRRMA) and its predecessor statutes. Perry works closely with corporate counsel at other law firms to represent both foreign investors and US target companies and sellers in a variety of business transactions. Perry assists clients in determining whether FIRRMA requires CFIUS filings, and represents clients before CFIUS in reviews started by both mandatory and voluntary filings.
