Government & Regulatory Protective Gear
The past decade has seen unprecedented U.S. government oversight of both domestic and international commerce. While the pendulum may swing the opposite direction in coming years, public concerns regarding consumer protection, data privacy, and corporate malfeasance will keep regulatory issues front and center for the foreseeable future. Our interdisciplinary team of attorneys works to keep clients aware of legislative developments and represents them in negotiations and hearings before regulatory bodies. We also have the government experience to ably advocate when court challenges are necessary.
