FIRM PROFILE

O’Donnell & Williams brings together experienced and knowledgeable practitioners in the fields of international transportation and maritime law, food and drug law, customs law, international trade law (import and export), congressional activities and government relations.

The firm represents both foreign and domestic clients before the governmental and international agencies that regulate and influence international commerce. The firm also represents clients in these matters in the Federal and State courts.

The firm’s attorneys are experienced professionals with an average of over twenty years of legal experience, representing clients in the highly complex and specialized areas of law governing international trade and transportation matters. Clients benefit from our familiarity and experience with the various governmental agencies that regulate our international business activities. In addition to serving as advocates of our clients’ interests before the Congress, we actively represent our clients in matters before executive branch agencies. 

The firm is dedicated to providing its clients with the highest quality professional services as efficiently and economically as possible. To this end, we attempt to resolve matters through the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques and procedures, including arbitration and mediation.  We also provide litigation services to our clients whenever such techniques prove insufficient or inappropriate for achieving a favorable resolution of a matter.  We remain committed to establishing responsive, proactive relationships with our clients, and remain dedicated to providing the close, personal attention necessary to ensure long-lasting relationships. 

We are recognized for delivering timely, practical, cost-effective advice and counsel. Our broad experience and concentration in these areas means that we are already familiar with the issues and problems our clients commonly encounter. This enables us to quickly gather and assimilate relevant facts and render superior, creative legal advice. This is complemented by the extensive research files and library of materials we have compiled during years of practice and use of the latest research technologies. The firm seeks long term relationships with its clients. We believe it is important for us to know our clients' products and objectives to maximize the value of our services.
