Export Controls Compliance and Anti-Discrimination Laws

What should companies dealing with export-controlled items do to ensure compliance with both the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and applicable U.S. export control laws?

In our latest Critical Compliance video, partner Soo-Mi Rhee discusses export controls and how they interact with anti-discrimination laws, highlighting best practices from the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division’s fact sheet.
