We provide practical, creative and cost-effective advice, which we combine with an unyielding service commitment to our clients.

We put our clients first

Our clients come in all sizes (both private companies and publicly traded companies), and they span a remarkably wide variety of industries. A number of our clients are ranked within the top 1% of U.S. importers (both in terms of volume and value); some are publically listed in the United States, as well as abroad, and many others are leaders in either their respective fields or industry segments. Some are privately-owned companies, and/or multinationals. All of our clients regardless of size are important and receive our full attention. We have been working with many for decades and we value these relationships.

Our Practice

The firm is known internationally for excellence in U.S. International Trade and U.S. Customs Law, as well as for our ability to craft unique and innovative arguments. Our practice involves a wide spectrum of issues arising in international trade. While too numerous to summarize, a partial list of "common" issues appears under our Services page.

Our People

The firm is designed as a boutique practice composed of experienced Customs and international trade professionals. All attorneys in the firm, have prior professional lives in “large” firm trade practices. We invite our clients to review our biography pages to gain a sense of the level of expertise.

Our Network

Our practice benefits the diversity of our involvement with the many members of the global supply-chain. Long-standing relationships with customs brokers, freight forwarders, other specialized law firms, accounting firms, consultants, lobbyists, engineers and etc., help ensure that resources are available for clients when needed. Many of those service companies have entrusted us not only with the legal problems of their clients but also with their own legal issues. We honor that trust and strive to ensure that we continually provide the highest levels of service.

Keys to the Courtroom

Where a case cannot resolve favorably, Junker & Nakachi seeks impartial judicial review in litigation before the U.S. Court of International Trade and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We may also appear in U.S. District Courts in seizure/forfeiture cases, cargo claims, and False Claims Act (FCA) actions. These courts may compel action of the United States government vis-a-vis judicial settlements, injunctions, orders, and opinions.
