International trade laterals, recruited nationwide.

Which part of trade.

Lateral Lock starts with the trade work you handle most, the agencies you deal with, and the mix of counseling, investigations, and contested proceedings you have handled.

• Targeting trade groups.Customs classification and penalty work, sanctions counseling, export-control licensing, and trade-remedy proceedings are hired as separate lanes. We look for trade practices where your agency experience and that lane fit.
• Our research.We review each group's platform, work mix, clients, offices, and trajectory.
• Clear materials.We put the resume in an order a trade group can read: the regime, the agency, then the counseling, investigation, or contested work. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. A short cover letter leads with the strengths that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
• Confidential and negotiated.You approve each introduction. We prepare the interviews and help negotiate the offer.
