In more than 100 years of practice, Steptoe has earned an international reputation for vigorous representation of clients before governmental agencies, successful advocacy in litigation and arbitration, and creative and practical advice in structuring business transactions.

A hallmark of Steptoe’s practice is advising on the scope and subtleties of US and international sanctions regulations and export controls. We work closely with in-house counsel and key personnel to understand the nature of a company’s operations, its products and services, and its internal structure, to ensure that corporate compliance is thorough, yet not unnecessarily restrictive.

Our experience includes assisting clients with compliance counseling, conducting due diligence, developing compliance programs, obtaining licenses and other authorizations, conducting internal investigations, submitting voluntary self-disclosures, and responding to government inquiries.

Steptoe has more than 500 lawyers and other professional staff across offices in Beijing, Brussels, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington. For more information, visit www.steptoe.com
