Alexandra is an international trade specialist in Winston & Strawn LLP’s Washington, DC, office. She focuses on anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), international sanctions, anti-corruption/anti-bribery, and global trade policy with a concentration on trade involving Latin America.

In furtherance of this focus, she works with clients to conduct internal investigations, to respond to government-initiated investigations, and to address day-to-day trade compliance related inquiries. She assists clients in effectively safeguarding against financial and reputational damages posed by money laundering threats and financial crimes risks. Alexandra conducts “Know Your Customer” (KYC) counterparty due diligence, including (a) research (using internal and external databases) to identify beneficial ownership, source of funds, and adverse media, (b) screening of all counterparties against sanctions and other denied party lists, and (c) broader transactional reviews to identify any potential red flags related to sanctions, AML/CFT, corruption, bribery, or other financial crime risks.

Alexandra actively monitors legislation and regulatory developments relating to client matters. She delivers policy analysis on various political and economic developments in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Cuba.  She also follows legal trends on beneficial ownership requirements, customer due diligence, and supply chain transparency.  With respect to economic sanctions, she tracks the potential effects of newly imposed economic sanctions on countries, entities, individuals, and industry sectors. Of particular focus of late is the removal of waivers under Title III of Helms Burton.  Further, she assists in international litigation and arbitrations.

Alexandra assists tech clients with import regulatory matters pending before U.S. Customs & Border Protection, including matters related to entry process, assessment of duties for goods subject to unfair trade proceedings (antidumping, countervailing duty, Section 201, and Section 232), compliance with other agency regulations, and developing internal compliance procedures.
