In addition to advising clients on the application of these laws to on-going business and potential acquisitions, Greta assists clients in all aspects of managing compliance with these laws, including developing corporate compliance programs, conducting internal investigations relating to potential violations of these laws and representing companies before the relevant agencies in connection with enforcement proceedings, license requests, and government inquiries. These agencies include the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Departments of Justice, Commerce and State, and the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
