Partner Matt Axelrod is quoted in Dow Jones Risk’s “U.S. Export Controls May Expand Through New Laws, Enforcement,” which discusses three bipartisan export controls-related bills advanced through the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. According to the article, the wording of the bills “indicates the U.S. is taking an increasingly transnational approach with its export controls, aiming to establish, in the long term, a relatively harmonized framework across the Western allied bloc, to avoid inter-jurisdictional loopholes.”

“International engagement is crucial for export controls, because export controls work best when they’re multilateral,” Matt said. “By building consensus among allies, the U.S. government can increase the chances that export controls are effective, while also ensuring that U.S. industry is not disadvantaged.”
