International trade

Expert counsel to master trade challenges and unlock global opportunities

Navigating international trade can be challenging, but it's also filled with opportunity. We partner with a wide range of clients – from global corporations to governments and trade associations – to tackle complex challenges and unlock potential in today's interconnected markets.

We understand that international trade isn't just about dry regulations; it's about real-world impact on businesses and economies. That's why we deliver practical, actionable advice that goes beyond the rulebook.

Our expertise covers WTO and FTA obligations, trade barriers in services, government procurement rules, antidumping measures, and customs regulations. We also lead on emerging issues – whether it's tariffs, deforestation, supply chain due diligence, carbon border taxes, or evolving subsidy rules. As geopolitical uncertainties rise, we help you navigate the implications of tariffs, manage retaliatory risks, comply with export licensing, and steer through shifting international sanctions.

Our team blends diverse legal backgrounds and top-tier experience in international trade law, including world-leading academic expertise. We don't just understand the legal intricacies – we grasp the commercial and political implications too. This holistic approach allows us to craft tailored, comprehensive solutions that meet your unique needs.

When trade issues intersect with other legal areas, we collaborate seamlessly with our colleagues to provide integrated, expert advice. Whether you're facing a trade dispute, navigating sanctions, or need guidance on major international agreements, we’re your trusted partners in mastering the dynamic world of international trade.
