Increased security measures in the post-9/11 business environment have resulted in tighter monitoring and potential sanctions for cross-border deals. "Over the last decade, we have witnessed a more rigorous and disciplined process in federal oversight that has impacted certain international transactions," says Andrew Derman of the Dallas office of Thompson & Knight. He notes that effective transnational transactions focus attention on the details and terms of the agreement and due diligence matters early in the process, better avoiding any additional delays, risks and additional costs that can come with regulatory review. "New sanction rules require parties to be more knowledgeable and careful about who they elect to do business with, where the business is located and the full scope of the business relationship."
