Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP is pleased to announce that Ginger T. Faulk has joined the Energy & Infrastructure Practice Group as a partner in the Washington DC office to strengthen its US international trade practice.

“Ginger is a fantastic addition to our expanding US international trade practice team,” said Eversheds Sutherland Co-CEO Mark D. Wasserman. “Her years of experience working on US government regulation of foreign trade matters will help deepen our US presence in the trade arena, which will benefit our clients both domestically and abroad.”

With nearly 15 years of practice, Ms. Faulk represents multinational companies in matters involving US government regulation of foreign trade and investment. She has extensive experience in the energy, defense, aerospace, telecommunication, software and other high-tech industries, counseling clients around the globe in transactional matters, as well as compliance, licensing, investigations and enforcement actions.

Specifically, Ms. Faulk is experienced in advising and representing clients before the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in compliance, licensing and enforcement matters and conducting large-scale compliance systems reviews, leading and responding to due diligence and systems reviews in major multinational M&A transactions. She also regularly advises and represents buyers and sellers before the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).

“Ginger is an accomplished international trade attorney and we are delighted by her arrival to our team,” said Herbert J. Short, Jr., partner and co-head of Global Energy & Infrastructure. “As regulations of foreign investment and international trade matters continue to rise and take center stage, Ginger’s addition will be of great value to our international clients.”

In her practice, Ms. Faulk advises and represents multinational corporations in a variety of geographies and industry sectors to manage and address compliance and enforcement risks under US trade laws and regulations. “I am thrilled to add my experience and capabilities to the Eversheds Sutherland global platform and to continue to support clients in operating and growing internationally and accomplishing their most critical business objectives in compliance with US laws,” Ms. Faulk said.

For more than four decades, Eversheds Sutherland’s Energy Practice Group has been counseling energy clients in guiding their businesses through an ever-changing landscape. Over the past few years alone, our 70 lawyers assisted clients through the boom in shale oil and gas production, strategic ownership changes in mid-stream assets, the reversal in the LNG markets from imports to exports, the gyrations of political and tax support for renewable energy projects, the regulations of fuels and biofuels and the implementation of derivatives regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, EMIR and MiFID.
