What does it look like to make legal decisions when the stakes extend far beyond the courtroom?

Ryan Fayhee, partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and former senior official in the U.S. Department of Justice's National Security Division, joins the SideBar Advisors podcast to discuss his career investigating some of the government's most consequential sanctions and export control matters before transitioning into private practice.

We explore how complex cross-border investigations unfold, what companies often misunderstand about regulatory risk, why strong leadership matters during a crisis, and how Ryan navigated leaving what he calls "the best job" he ever had to build a new career advising global organizations.
