Clifford Chance partner Wendy Wysong, a former federal prosecutor and deputy assistant secretary for export enforcement at the U.S. Department of Commerce, will spend at least the next three years overseeing export controls at private military contractor Xe Services, the company formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide.
Xe, which changed its name from Blackwater in February 2009 after a series of embarrassing incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan, agreed in August to pay $42 million in fines for hundreds of alleged violations of U.S. export control regulations in a settlement with the U.S. Department of State. The violations included illegal weapons shipments to Afghanistan and training troops in south Sudan.
