Buy American

Our team is uniquely positioned to guide clients through the rapidly evolving Buy American environment, new regulatory thresholds to qualify for government contracting, and potential new funding sources for projects.

We represent clients on all aspects of customs compliance and legal and policy matters relating to the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act. This work involves day-to-day customs matters and transactional counselling. We also advise on BABA and other government procurement compliance matters whose highly complex country-of-origin analyses are similar to several aspects of customs compliance. We also advise on whether products qualify as “U.S.-made end products” under the Trade Agreements Act.

Our deep bench of lawyers has advised hundreds of clients across sectors strategically to ensure their supply chains and develop product specifications to confirm qualifications for Buy American funding opportunities.

We’re deeply familiar with legal and contractual requirements that apply to government procurement and infrastructure spending. We also help clients navigate supply chain vulnerabilities to capitalize on opportunities and limit disruption.

Leveraging our cross-practice teams, we offer complete solutions to protect and advance client interests, engage in government advocacy and agency interactions, navigate legal and regulatory compliance, advise on aspects critical to deals involving both government-targeted businesses and infrastructure projects, and resolve follow-on investigations and litigation on favorable terms.

We also advise a number of clients on the domestic content requirements of relevant legislation and have guided investors in and suppliers to renewable energy projects in extensive analyses and strategic supply chain decision-making to optimize benefits from relevant legislation.
