When regulatory, statutory, or policy hurdles are standing in the way of your business, legislation can be a powerful means of securing meaningful long-term solutions. For more than 40 years ST&R has provided legislative affairs services to companies, associations, and governments on customs modernization, tariff and tax changes, trade agreements and preferences, textiles and apparel, forced labor, the environment, and a wide range of other trade policy issues.
