Barnes/Richardson has focused on customs, trade, and export control law since 1919. From sole proprietorships to major multinationals, we help businesses maximize the value in their supply chains through tariff mitigation, lawful duty avoidance, and regulatory compliance. We also help clients access foreign markets with reduced risk through export (EAR and ITAR) and U.S. sanctions compliance (OFAC).

We are proud members of Meritas and INBLF. Meritas is an international group of law firms providing local, reliable, and efficient legal representation all over the world. INBLF is a network of select North American lawyers working in boutique firms and independent law firms throughout the world.

We have provided customs or trade advice to over one-third of the manufacturers in the Fortune 100.

All Barnes/Richardson matters are handled directly by a partner experienced in the issues involved. We strive to help our clients establish strong trade compliance programs to be managed by their own professionals. In that way, we can install a system that enables full trade operations without the client having perpetual legal expenses.
