We go to bat for industries injured by unfair trade practices, initiating antidumping, countervailing duty and other trade remedy actions that bring relief not only to companies and industries, but to workers and communities. We guide clients through complex trade rules and restrictions, helping them successfully import and export their products and services. We help clients overcome barriers to entry in foreign markets, and resolve cross-border disputes to ensure that our trading partners fully meet their obligations under international trade agreements.
We’re effective in crises—responding quickly when clients face embargoed goods and penalty proceedings―but we also work with our clients to set up compliance programs that minimize regulatory risk, avoid supply chain interruption, and reduce customs liability.
Clients look to us for our insight into the politics surrounding trade policy. In fact, one client told Chambers “The firm’s in-depth knowledge of the U.S. political system and legislation, and its strong contacts with legislative staff are a real attraction.”
We combine legal firepower with the analytical insights of our in-house economic professionals, Our attorneys work closely with the firm’s government relations professionals where policy is debated and made―in Congress and at the Executive Branch―ensuring that clients access timely political information and resources as they push for advantageous public policy change.
