International Trade

Few issues are more salient for international businesses than unpredictable commodity tariffs, currency valuation disputes, fluctuating sanctions regimes and the unpredictability and mistrust caused by politically motivated accusations and suspicions. In particular, US-China trade relations seem to worsen by the day. Even when the dust eventually settles and the world’s two largest economies resume a more sensible approach to commerce, there will still be WTO disputes, regional conflicts and changing treaties, all requiring complex legal navigation. JLG is here to help.
