John Huddle, CEO and practicing attorney with The Global Law Group in Richmond and chairman of the Virginia-D.C. District Export Council (DEC) spoke to the Blue Ridge Business Journal on the ITT fine, reverse engineering,  and other export compliance issues. Read the article by Michelle Long here. 

“In a nutshell,” Huddle says, “two problems are common and seem to have been manifested in the ITT situation.” 1) Effective written compliance programs that accommodate legitimate business needs with a system for checks and balances, so that it (a) educates, (b) prevents non-compliance, and (c) detects non-compliance early, whether by ignorance or willful misconduct; 2) Sales teams are especially vulnerable to compliance violations because they are on the front lines interacting with customers and it is imperative that they get the proper training.
