Advocacy for a Complex Trade Environment

Trade policy has become one of the most consequential issues shaping business operations and global competitiveness. We help clients navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving trade environment by providing strategic counsel and effective advocacy before both Congress and the Executive Branch.

Our trade practice

Navigating a Rapidly Evolving Trade Landscape

Our team engages directly with the congressional committees of jurisdiction, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), and the Department of Commerce to advance client priorities on tariffs, trade enforcement, market access, and broader trade policy matters. We closely monitor legislative, regulatory, and administrative developments, ensuring clients remain informed of policy changes and are well positioned to respond to emerging opportunities and challenges.

We design and execute comprehensive advocacy strategies tailored to each client's objectives, including congressional sign-on letters, targeted stakeholder engagement, strategic communications and social media campaigns, coalition building, and Capitol Hill fly-ins. By combining deep policy expertise with strong relationships across government, we help clients effectively understand and influence trade issues of the day.
