I help my clients succeed in world markets. I provide strategic legal advice and problem-solving to help them gain or maintain market access around the globe for the goods they make and the services they supply. I assist them through rights-based advocacy based on trade agreements including the WTO Agreement, free trade agreements and other treaties. I advise on trade negotiations, trade policy, legislation and administrative proceedings -- and international dispute settlement when appropriate. The webpage here on Trade Law provides examples of my work.

This site also hosts my webpages on dispute settlement under regional trade agreements, which are updated on an ongoing basis to reflect current developments.

I've handled problems for industries from agriculture to high tech. I have especially deep experience in trade problems affecting digital and internet businesses— software, online video, recorded music, e-books, video games and cloud-based services of all types. Contact me here.

After 20 years as a trade lawyer in the US government and in Geneva, and nine years in major international law firms in Washington DC, I opened this law practice in 2009. Located in the Washington DC area near the Federal trade policy agencies and the U.S. Congress, I follow trade policy developments everywhere and work with my clients to solve problems and advance their policy agendas.
