With respect to these areas, Kevin designs and implements compliance programs, provides training sessions and handles daily counseling questions. He also conducts audits of export compliance programs for both domestic and international operations, including audits directed by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and due diligence reviews in furtherance of a merger or acquisition (M&A).

He assists clients in various industries with obtaining the proper export authorizations from the relevant government agency. Routinely, Kevin conducts internal investigations and advises clients regarding alleged violations of U.S. export controls, including counseling clients on disclosures and representing clients in enforcement proceedings before the relevant U.S. government agency.

He has investigated, prepared and litigated numerous successful contract claims against the government.
