In a world that is constantly in flux, I advise and counsel clients on matters related to international trade and international business, defense trade and defense contracts. This involves advice and counsel on U.S. Trade Laws, Federal Acquisition Regulation, Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement, compliance with these bodies of laws and advocating on clients' behalf before government agencies. The best part of my practice is partnering with my clients. I approach each interaction with genuine curiosity, active listening and a problem-solving mindset.
