Presented by Kevin J. Wolf, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration, Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce; Karen McGee of Barnes & Thornburg LLP; and Mark Nackman, Vice President & General Counsel, General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems. Moderated by Linda Weinberg of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

Within the last year, as a result of Export Control Reform (ECR) initiatives, the U.S. Export Control regulations have experienced the most profound changes in decades. The rewrite of the U.S. Munitions List under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the transition of many parts and components to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) introduce many government contractors to an entirely different regulatory regime and unfamiliar compliance framework, a new set of interpretive issues, and increased risk of costly mistakes in compliance. In this session, a panel of experts from government and industry will:

Update you on the changing regime
Provide practical advice to in-house counsel on the impact of these fundamental changes
Suggest best practices to significantly reduce risks in such areas as supply chain, foreign national employees, defense services, M&A transactions, and enforcement
Identify the latest developments and predictions for the future

This program will provide corporate counsel with a useful guide to this rapidly changing area.
