About Us

Our attorneys, consultants and advisors all come from corporate positions. As such, they understand the “real world” implications of regulations and the issues facing employees and companies.

Our expertise in global trade, foreign manufacturing and operations, regulatory, international law, Customs, export, imports, ITAR, defense regulations such as the DFARS, and other areas are based on decades of practical real life experience–couple that, and the ability to communicate and provide clear, concise and practical legal advice is our greatest strength!

We will customize corporate compliance programs according to the size and needs of your company. This includes everything from affordable flat-fee training to meet your yearly continuing education requirements, to resilience audit reviews, customized compliance programs, manuals and standard operating procedures, along with complex enterprise regulatory governance and risk management programs. We understand that many companies have limited budget and resources, thus, our custom approach and offerings to clients ensures you not only get top-tier service, expertise and legal advice, but allows for a more robust and cost effective, time efficient, solution to your needs.

Our practical approach is what sets us apart from your traditional law firms–we deliver legal and consulting  advice which addresses both your legal risks and questions, and allows you to operate more efficiently and at a competitive advantage. Reach out to us for a free consult today!

“As a global industrial supply company, we’re faced with a variety of legal and business issues, including import tariffs, export regulations and licensing from agencies such as BIS and DDTC, contract disputes and negotiations, and a variety of other challenges. Our go-to firm has been Global Trade Associates and will continue to be. Having worked with the principal partner for over 20 years, I consider him as much a friend as an legal advisor.”
