Our Trade Team
Trade policy moves fast and the consequences are immediate. A new tariff, a market access barrier, a patent challenge at the ITC, or a shifting export control can disrupt a business overnight. Our clients need advocates with deep knowledge of the agencies, the officials, and the legislative levers, and a proven record of results.
Led by Rich Thomas, this dynamic team brings experience from and deep relationships in:
- Senate Finance Committee
- House Ways and Means Committee
- Senate Foreign Relations Committee
- House Foreign Affairs Committee
- United States Trade Representative
- Department of Commerce
- National Economic Council
- International Trade Commission
Read Our Trade 2026 Midterm Outlook
Trade in 2027 will continue to make headlines under any election scenario. Under Republican control, Congress stays deferential on tariffs and the administration’s agenda. A Democratic House brings messaging bills and hearings, and a both-chambers flip is where pressure becomes operational. In any Democratic scenario, companies that negotiated tariff exemptions face the most exposure.
Our team, led by Rich Thomas, breaks down the issues at play, from congressional tariff authority and USMCA to export controls on China and USTR funding- while identifying the members to watch on both sides of the aisle.
