Trade policy is the convergence of politics, law and commerce. When governments negotiate multilateral trade treaties or participate in multilateral trade organizations they are bound by particular international trade laws. Such laws must be incorporated into domestic laws in order to have effect and assure the smooth interaction of government and business, which is so important in the era of globalization.

Assisting governments negotiate international rules that accurately reflect and accommodate the business world, and integrate these rules into domestic law requires strong trade policy skills such as trade negotiation, policy analysis and formation, statistical analysis and advocacy for business interests.
