• Advising on tariff matters, including Section 232, and supporting tariff-related initiatives and ongoing customs matters.
• Providing support on trade remedies and related matters, including AD/CVD and appeals, as well as AI export-control issues.
• Collaborating with key stakeholders to identify customs risks and provide practical, strategic legal guidance.
