ABOUT RENEE LATOUR

I am an international trade attorney who focuses on international trade regulation and compliance matters, including complex cross-border and domestic issues involving export controls, economic sanctions, and national security reviews of foreign investment conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). I advise clients on U.S. export controls and economic sanctions administered by the Departments of Commerce, State, and Treasury, I advise on international trade related matters related to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), including anti-boycott regulations, and U.S. sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). I also counsel on national security matters related to foreign investment and cross-border transactions, including national security reviews by CFIUS, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), the Department of Energy, and other cognizant agencies. I regularly represent clients before CFIUS, including negotiation of mitigation measures and national security agreements, and in mitigating foreign ownership, control or influence (FOCI). I also advise on the foreign direct investment reporting requirements of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), and other trade and investment-related regulations in the context of mergers and acquisitions. In addition, I advise clients on matters arising under anti-corruption and anti-bribery measures (U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UNCAC, and OECD Convention), including compliance counseling and investigations.
