Fractional Chief Export Compliance Counsel

For companies that require senior-level legal oversight without hiring a full-time internal export-control attorney, Friling Law may serve as fractional trade compliance counsel.

Depending on the engagement, this role may include:

• Advising senior management on sanctions and export-control risk
• Participating in compliance committee meetings
• Reviewing significant or high-risk transactions
• Establishing escalation and approval procedures
• Coordinating compliance initiatives across departments
• Advising on regulatory developments
• Supporting internal legal, compliance, finance, sales and logistics teams
• Reporting material compliance issues to management
• Coordinating specialized outside counsel when necessary

This structure gives companies access to experienced legal oversight while preserving operational flexibility and controlling fixed personnel costs.

Services Requiring a Separate Engagement

Certain matters fall outside the ordinary scope of a monthly subscription and generally require a separate written engagement and fee arrangement.

These services may include:

• OFAC specific license applications
• OFAC administrative reconsideration requests
• Applications for the release of blocked funds
• BIS export license applications
• DDTC registrations and licensing submissions
• Commodity-jurisdiction requests
• Commodity-classification requests
• Voluntary self-disclosures
• Internal investigations
• Subpoena and government inquiry responses
• Civil enforcement matters
• Compliance audits
• Mergers and acquisitions due diligence
• Formal regulatory opinions
• Litigation, arbitration and administrative proceedings

Where appropriate, subscription clients may receive priority scheduling or separately negotiated fee arrangements for additional projects.
