Adam Szubin leverages his extensive experience in U.S. government and private practice to advise leading global companies and financial institutions facing an increasingly dynamic and uncertain national security regulatory landscape.
Adam previously led the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and served for nearly a decade as the Director of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). His practice focuses on advisory and enforcement matters involving U.S. national security, with a particular emphasis on economic sanctions, export controls, money laundering, and investment security matters.
Adam’s distinguished 13 year tenure at the U.S. Department of the Treasury spanned the presidential administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. As the Acting Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, Adam led the Treasury Department’s policy, enforcement, regulatory, and intelligence functions aimed at combating foreign adversaries, international terrorist organizations, proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, narcotics traffickers, and others posing threats to U.S. national security and economic interests.
He also advised the Treasury Secretary and National Security Council on a wide range of economic and national security issues, including matters before the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). As OFAC Director, he led the Treasury Department’s administration and enforcement of U.S. economic and trade sanctions.
Earlier in his career, Adam served in the Department of Justice (DOJ) as Counsel to the Deputy Attorney General and worked as a trial attorney in DOJ’s Civil Division.
In addition to his work in private practice, Adam is a professor of practice at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies.
