Larry serves as a partner in Dorsey’s National Security Law Group and is head of the firm's Seattle office. Larry helps government contractors, aerospace and defense, mining, technology, manufacturing, retail, service, hospitality, biotech and other companies involved in international trade understand and comply with various complicated U.S. regulatory schemes in a cost-effective manner so that they can avoid the monetary, criminal and other penalties and reputational damage faced when those regulations are violated. Larry advises clients ranging from small emerging companies to large public corporations and international professional associations. As a former appointed member of the U.S. State Department’s Defense Trade Advisory Group (DTAG), Larry has built important connections with U.S. Government and industry leaders, which further bolsters his ability to provide practical compliance insight to his clients.
