Bryan Cave International Trade’s consultants provide insights and recommendations on the interpretation and application of the various bilateral and regional free trade agreements (“FTAs”) and the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) Agreements. We advise clients on avoiding potential WTO-related problems in transactions (e.g., addressing discriminatory regulations and barriers in the services and other sectors), as well as on leveraging on WTO rules to obtain fair treatment and/or to increase market access.

Given that many of our consultants are former trade and investment officials, Bryan Cave International Trade has the technical expertise to assist clients to devise investment schemes, incentive programs and other tax and regulatory structures that are compliant with WTO rules and FTA requirements for presentation to the government. Bryan Cave International Trade has assisted clients in the automotive, agricultural, telecommunications, consumer products and other industries on compliance and non-compliance of government programs with World Trade Organization (“WTO”) and FTA obligations.
