With the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, Cuba’s recent enactment of its new Foreign Investment Act and the creation of the “special development zone” in the Port of Mariel, numerous business opportunities are now available to U.S. investors interested in entering the Cuban market. We also counsel foreign entities that are involved in Cuba business on potential implications of U.S. law. Our Cuba practice group specializes in U.S. law regarding the Cuban embargo, including the Cuban Assets Control Regulations and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) licensing requirements.
