The partners at DTB Associates have excellent working relationships with U.S. and many foreign government officials
and are able to bring these resources to bear to help our clients resolve immediate trade problems and accomplish longer term
trade policy objectives. Our partners have worked on most agricultural trade issues over the past three decades and have dealt
with virtually every commodity and country.
Our
partners have the experience necessary to respond to a client's legal, business or policy needs in the trade
arena, having served in key positions such as special trade counsel to the Secretary of Agriculture, as international
trade negotiators at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and in important diplomatic posts, such as the U.S. Trade Representative’s
Mission to the WTO in Geneva (combined eight years), the U.S. Mission to the EU in Brussels (another eight years) and the
U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.
They have also been involved in a number of legislative and executive initiatives concerning fisheries policy, immigration,
and appropriations, and are able to serve their clients' needs in Spanish, French and German.
