United States > International trade and national security > Customs, export controls and economic sanctions

Applying ‘excellent business judgment to its sound legal advice’, Crowell & Moring LLP’s international trade group combines a prominent customs offering with solid—and growing—expertise in export controls and economic sanctions. In terms of the former, trade co-head John Brew is recommended for his comprehensive practice that spans customs administration, enforcement, regulatory compliance and contentious matters, among others. David Stepp, who splits his time between Los Angeles and Shanghai, is also noted for customs work. On the export controls and economic sanctions front, the sizeable team draws on the experience of trade vice chair David (Dj) Wolff; high-profile trade veteran and practice founder, Jeffrey Snyder; Carlton Greene, who co-chairs the export controls and economic sanctions subgroup together with Wolff, and international trade co-chair Nicole Janigian Simonian, who divides her practice between Los Angeles and Shanghai. Named attorneys are based in Washington DC unless stated otherwise.
