Please join us June 11-13, 2013 for our annual three-day workshop jointly organized by Squire Sanders, the Export Group for Aerospace and Defense of the UK, and Strategic Shipping Company Limited of the UK. Principal Squire Sanders presenters include partners George N. Grammas, Ramez Moussa and Stuart James.

Given the on-going fundamental developments which are now taking place in the US on Export Control Reform (ECR), it has become increasingly vital for the scope and content of future such events to be changed, to reflect what is happening in the US, and the growing need for non-US firms to try to become more familiar with Export Administration Regulations (EAR) compliance matters, as well as those pertaining to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).

Topics to be covered over the three-day session could include:

  • US Export Controls Reform
  • EAR and the 600-series
  • UK-US Defense Trade Cooperation Treaty
  • Update on DDTC licensing and agreements (TAAs, MLAs)
  • Commodity jurisdiction and ITAR contamination of UK products
  • Customs and enforcement: practices and actions against non-US organisations
  • Best practices for managing ITAR/EAR risks and strengthening compliance
  • Effective interaction with US suppliers, subsidiaries, parent companies and customers
  • Dual and third country nationals compliance under TAAs
  • Access to the US aerospace, defence, security and intelligence markets – ITAR/regulatory challenges ITAR/EAR Compliance for intangible transfers via servers, laptops, PDAs, etc.
  • Re-exports and re-transfers

During the conference, on the evening of Wednesday, June 12 from 5:30 – 9:30 p.m., Squire Sanders will host a cocktail reception and seated dinner.
