BrusCCC has a strong law advisory practice Shipping and  International trade.

Government actions increasingly affect companies involved in the global trade of goods and services. Whether governments are negotiating multilateral, regional, or bilateral trade agreements, or revising national laws and regulations, the involvement of governments has a direct impact on the rules governing international trade. While the ultimate goal may be a more liberalized trading system, the immediate result is just as likely to be a thicket of rules, procedures, and exceptions. This can mean an even more difficult business environment.
