-- Trade clients and collaborators
For the past two decades, we have supported state governments, international coalitions, and public interest advocates who work on trade and investment policy. Their goal is to preserve space for governments to provide or regulate essential services (e.g., energy, health care, food markets), set labor standards, and regulate products that affect the environment and public health.

- Washington – Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on Trade Policy
- Utah – Utah International Trade Commission
- New Hampshire – New Hampshire Trade Policy Commission
