Global trade rules shape how your business moves goods, capital, and technology – but they are increasingly fragmented, politicized, and enforced in real time. Our international trade lawyers help you navigate international trade law across jurisdictions, aligning compliance with your commercial goals so you can operate, transact, and grow with fewer disruptions.
With teams across key global trade centers and experience spanning policy, enforcement, and transactions, we help you anticipate risk, structure cross-border activity, and respond quickly as rules change. Our integrated approach connects international trade law with national security, regulatory, and transactional considerations – so your business can operate effectively as conditions evolve.
As sanctions, export controls, customs rules, technology restrictions, and national security regulations increasingly intersect, decisions in one area can create unintended exposure across your business. We guide you through overlapping US, EU, and UK trade and national security regulations, including:
- Sanctions and export controls
- CFIUS, foreign subsidies, and other national security investment reviews
- Customs, tariffs, and import compliance
- Supply chain controls, product compliance, forced labor requirements, and supply chain due diligence obligations
- Data transfer, cybersecurity, and technology restrictions
- Outbound investment and economic security restrictions
Trade risk cuts across sourcing, contracting, financing, and distribution. We help you assess exposure across counterparties, jurisdictions, and supply chains; design compliance programs that scale with your operations; and structure transactions with trade controls in mind. Our experience also extends to diligence tied to sanctions, export controls, customs, contractual protections, third-party risk management, and internal investigations and regulatory engagement.
Trade rules are often shaped through enforcement and policy decisions as much as through written law. We represent clients in trade remedies proceedings – WTO and trade agreement disputes, administrative proceedings before customs and regulatory agencies, and cross-border investigations, enforcement actions, litigation, and arbitration.
We also engage directly with policymakers and regulators to address tariffs, market access barriers, and trade policy developments. Drawing on extensive experience on Capitol Hill and before trade and regulatory authorities, we help advance your strategic objectives through targeted advocacy.
Global trade volatility can affect how you source, sell, invest, and grow. Our international trade lawyers manage that complexity with an integrated strategy – helping you navigate international trade regulation, pursue cross-border opportunities, and move your business forward in a changing global trade environment.
