Global Risk, Trade & Investment
Investment strategies tailored to today’s highly volatile global trade environment
The international trade system is undergoing unprecedented transformation, presenting substantial risks and promising opportunities. The stakes could not be higher. Brownstein’s Global Risk, Trade and Investment group partners with clients across the economy—from global companies with complex supply chains, to domestic manufacturers seeking import relief and investigating trade evasion, to emerging innovators and investors fueling economic growth and reshoring technology and manufacturing jobs.
We help our clients shape today’s important global trade conversations. We advocate for innovative trade policies, pursue tariff mitigation strategies, navigate and comply with complex regulatory barriers and develop proactive strategies to manage global risk. Our work ensures our clients are not just reacting to change—they’re driving it.
Brownstein is deeply connected to the policymakers shaping and implementing President Trump’s trade, national security and foreign affairs policies. We combine a leading government relations practice with experienced former government policymakers and international trade lawyers to help clients understand and strategically react to seismic shifts in global trade.
Global Risk Management
We provide counsel and intelligence on global risks including trade, economic policy, defense and foreign affairs as well as connectivity to key U.S. policymakers across the Executive Branch and Capitol Hill.
Trade Policy & Investigations
Our team advocates for innovative trade policies that promote competitiveness and economic resilience. We can also guide clients through government investigations, including Section 232 (national security) and 301 (unfair trade practices) investigations, export/import control-related investigations (e.g., the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act (UFLPA) and trade evasion enforcement), as well as congressional investigations.
Tariff Strategies
We have a strong record of substantive, sustained engagement with those responsible for President Trump’s tariff policies drawing on experience and connections forged in the first Trump term, as career officials and on Capitol Hill to pursue tariff mitigation strategies.
Reshoring & Investment Support
The administration is working to rebalance trade towards reciprocity, reshoring production and raising revenue. Brownstein facilitates investments in U.S. manufacturing and supply chain by helping clients navigate federal and state policies, incentive programs and regulatory frameworks.
