Expert guidance on complex import compliance issues

I engaged Carolyn Gleason at McDermott Will & Schulte to assist my food and beverage company with a challenging compliance matter involving new FDA labeling regulations and imported ingredients. Her background in International Trade and Finance Law was immediately evident. She not only provided a clear, actionable analysis of the regulatory landscape but also leveraged her government relations experience to help us understand the practical enforcement perspective. Her advice was strategic, focusing on both immediate compliance and long-term supply chain resilience. Having a Georgetown Law graduate with her specific recognition in food and beverage law gave our board significant confidence. The work product was thorough and precisely tailored to our operational needs. My only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally stretch to 48 hours, though her responses were always comprehensive when they arrived. For a complex, cross-border issue that sat at the intersection of regulation and trade, her over three years of dedicated practice in this niche were invaluable. I would certainly recommend her for similar matters.
