Access to overseas markets is essential for multinational and farmers. And rules-based trade among nations benefits both companies and consumers. Everyone has a stake in opening markets and strong multilateral trade rules.
We help multinational, investors, farm groups, and governments in WTO disputes and negotiations, FTA disputes, trade remedy procedures, and more. From food safety to cars, insurance, pharmaceuticals, and other products.
We’ve been directly involved in policy-making, negotiations, legislation, and disputes since the WTO was formed. Our team includes former USTR lawyers. So we get the inside baseball.
Companies and trading nations alike profit when trade flows seamlessly. Find your voice in the system with Hogan Lovells.
