This includes work on a diverse range of trade law matters including market access and customs issues, rules of origin, trade in services, the movement of natural persons, digital trade, investment, competition, government procurement, and labour and environmental law.
Drawing on our global network and particular expertise in the Indo-Pacific, we provide advice and support on the full range of international trade law matters, including advising governments on trade policy matters, such as the implementation of agreements and consistency of new measures with existing obligations.
We also advise companies on engaging with governments regarding trade negotiations and trade restrictive measures.
Our work includes supplementing government teams with bespoke expertise when negotiating trade and new forms of economic agreements, including at the WTO, as well as representing governments in trade disputes and supporting third parties engaged in trade-related dispute settlement processes.
