About Lawrence
Biography
I am a partner in the Chicago office of Barnes, Richardson & Colburn where I practice exclusively in the area of U.S. customs and international trade law. We work with importers and exporters to reduce costs and delays in their supply chain. We have experience in customs classification, valuation, audits, penalties, trade agreements, and litigation before the U.S. Court of International Trade and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
