International Trade & National Security
Our International Trade team specializes in the intersection of trade and climate policy, actively shaping industrial decarbonization policies in the United States and globally. We provide guidance to clients on emerging greenhouse gas emissions standards and their trade and economic implications, as well as circular economy matters like recycling and raw materials on both domestic and international fronts. We assist clients in navigating border carbon adjustments, taxes, and accessing climate-related funding opportunities from sources like the Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Collaborating with our Government Contracts team, we advise on green procurement policies, including Buy Clean initiatives. Additionally, we offer expertise in supply chain management and development, offering unparalleled insights into global supply chains and their climate impact. The Wiley International Trade group also boasts industry experience in key climate change sectors, successfully handling antidumping and countervailing cases against unfairly traded renewable energy imports and representing domestic manufacturers, particularly in energy-intensive industries like steel and aluminum, on emerging trade and climate issues.
Environment
Our environmental practice professionals have extensive experience in shaping major U.S. environmental policies like the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocol. Combining legal, technical expertise, and strategic lobbying, we influence environmental regulations. With the rise of climate change legislation at all government levels, we're well-prepared to guide clients through the evolving climate landscape. We regularly help clients comply with existing climate requirements, manage greenhouse gas emissions, and explore incentives for climate-friendly infrastructure. Our expertise extends to environmentally responsible product launches and voluntary carbon offsets, renewable energy certificates, energy efficiency programs, and legal aspects of environmental advertising. We collaborate with trade associations and companies to develop and adapt standards programs and testing regulations. In the realm of circular economy and recycling policies, we assist clients with extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs, offering support from legislative engagement to daily management of EPR entities established by manufacturers.
