Profession
International Trade Lawyer
Advises on global business transactions.
As an international trade lawyer, you help businesses buy, sell, and move goods across borders within the rules that govern global commerce. You advise clients on tariffs, customs, trade agreements, export controls, sanctions, and anti-dumping cases, and you represent them in disputes before trade bodies and government agencies. When a company wants to import products, expand into a new country, or defend itself against trade penalties, you guide them through a tangle of national and international rules. Your days mix research, drafting, negotiation, and coordination with clients and officials around the world.
