概要

Our experience with cross-border financial services compliance issues, internal investigations, supervisory actions and contentious disputes allow us to successfully resolve, if not avoid entirely, cross-border risks. Our clients that operate in more than one country or that offer their products and services across borders face an often conflicting web of foreign and domestic legal and regulatory requirements. At the same time, financial services supervisory agencies in the United States, Europe and Asia are closely scrutinizing institutions that operate in multiple jurisdictions and increasingly pursuing coordinated investigatory and enforcement actions against them . These sources of potential exposure will only increase as the trend toward integration of financial transactions and markets continues.
