April 2, 2014
SRZ advised private equity firm Liberty Hall Capital Partners on the acquisition of McCann Aerospace Machining, a Tier II supplier of large, complex monolithic machined structural parts and assemblies for the global aerospace industry. The deal, which was announced and closed on April 2, 2014, makes McCann the second supplier to be integrated into Liberty Hall’s Accurus Aerospace Corporation, a fully integrated, highly diversified Tier II aerostructures supplier. In November 2013, SRZ advised Liberty Hall on its acquisition of Precise Machining & Manufacturing in a deal that secured the foundational asset for Accurus.
The SRZ team representing Liberty Hall Capital Partners and Accurus included environmental partner Howard B. Epstein, investment management partner Jason S. Kaplan, finance partner Ronald B. Risdon, tax partner Kurt F. Rosell, real estate partner Julian M. Wise and former Schulte lawyers Kirby Chin and Matthew J. Gruenberg.

On March 6, 2024, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the US Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the US Department of Commerce (collectively, the “Agencies”) published their latest in a series of Tri-Seal Compliance Notes in which they emphasized that foreign-based persons have an obligation to comply with US sanctions and export controls.[1] The Compliance Note does not reflect any policy change, but serves as a reminder that the Agencies have enforced sanctions and export controls against non-US persons, and highlights that non-US firms should implement measures to mitigate their risk of violating US laws. The Compliance Note also comes just a few months after the issuance of Executive Order (“E.O.”) 14114, which authorizes OFAC to sanction foreign financial institutions that engage in significant transactions with Russia’s military-industrial sector.[2] Below, we focus on the Compliance Note’s description of transactions in which OFAC has asserted authority to bring enforcement actions against non-US persons for sanctions violations and summarize some key implications for non-US fund managers.
