Sarah advises U.S. and foreign clients on complex strategy and compliance matters at the intersection of trade policy and supply chain regulation. She provides practical, business-friendly guidance on a range of trade and supply chain issues, including:

• Tariff policy and tariff mitigation strategies.
• FTA negotiations, disputes and eligibility analysis.
• Forced labor law compliance, including Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act detentions, the revocation of Withhold Release Orders and rapid response labor mechanism cases under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)
• Supply chain due diligence.
• Eligibility for U.S. tax credits and other incentives, particularly with respect to compliance with foreign entity restrictions.
• Goods and services market access and non-tariff trade barriers.
• Electronic commerce and digital trade issues.

Sarah not only helps clients shape these policies—through advocacy, rulemaking and disputes—but she also helps them comply and respond to enforcement actions by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the U.S. Department of Commerce, among others. 

She also represents private sector clients in trade litigation matters before the U.S. Court of International Trade. Sarah represents sovereign governments in trade disputes before the WTO, FTA panels and other international fora.

Sarah’s practice focuses on industries facing increased risks due to U.S. trade policy and national security objectives. She is a go-to advisor for clients across the automotive, energy storage, solar, aerospace, electronics, building materials and retail sectors. 

Prior to her legal career, Sarah worked in management consulting for a global firm, focusing on the management of organizational reforms within U.S. government agencies.
