Aleksandar Dukic's practice encompasses U.S. immigration, economic sanctions and export control laws, the USA Patriot Act (anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing), the Foreign Agents Registration Act, as well as international trade policy issues. He counsels clients on complex issues related to regulatory and statutory compliance and provides them with advice and representation before the U.S. Departments of Treasury, Commerce, Labor, Homeland Security (Citizenship and Immigration Services, and Customs and Border Protection), and State (including U.S. embassies and consulates abroad).

Aleksandar works with clients in a broad spectrum of industries, with particular experience in the higher education, media, insurance, banking, telecommunications, automotive, aviation, defense, and food and beverage industries. He regularly advises clients in these industries with respect to compliance with the Office of Foreign Assets Control's (OFAC) sanctions regulations and U.S. export control regulations, including licensing and enforcement matters.

In the immigration arena, Aleksandar also has considerable experience assisting professional sports teams; telecommunications, food, and software companies; and universities in sponsoring individuals for immigrant ("green card") and nonimmigrant visa status in the United States. He also provides policy advice with respect to legislative initiatives in the U.S. Congress that affect immigration and international trade matters.
