Holland & Knight has strengthened its International Trade Group with the addition of well-known trade practitioners Tahlia Townsend and Daniel Goren as partners in its Stamford office.
Ms. Townsend and Mr. Goren advise a wide range of U.S. and international companies on compliance with U.S. export controls, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR), U.S. financial sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and U.S. foreign investment regulations administered by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
"Tahlia and Dan represent integral building blocks for our team, contributing enhanced capabilities and prestige to an already strong export controls and sanctions practice," said Ronald Oleynik, co-head of the Holland & Knight's International Trade Group.
"Tahlia and Dan's robust client base across a variety of industries, including the defense and national security sectors, create strong synergies with our existing practice," added International Trade Group co-head Robert Friedman. "We are thrilled to welcome them to Holland & Knight."
