McNabb in the News

Senior Principle Douglas McNabb has had an article on export law published on law.com:

An executive knows better than to do business with companies in certain countries against which the U.S. government has imposed trade sanctions, such as Iran and North Korea. But could it be that in today's global economy, American companies could unknowingly be trading with the enemy? Yes.
…
You and the GC reluctantly agree that both you and the company need a federal criminal-defense firm. You also direct the general counsel to study the law of exports more thoroughly so that he may implement a comprehensive compliance program to prevent similar issues from arising in the future. You hope that you will be able to monitor the new compliance program in person and not just hear about it during visitation hours at a federal prison.^[1]
