FOR TRADE ATTORNEYS

You know the law. You need the data.

IEEPA tariff recovery creates a new category of trade litigation. We provide the entry-level data, exposure analysis, and claim validation that makes your practice ready for it.
The attorney advantage: Trade attorneys understand 19 U.S.C. sections 1514 and 1581, CIT procedure, and the protest/litigation framework. What most lack is the entry-level data infrastructure to screen clients at scale and scope engagements efficiently. That is what this program provides.

Every IEEPA recovery engagement starts with data. We provide entry-level analysis covering HTS classifications under 9903.01 and 9903.02, duty amounts per entry, liquidation status, and applicable deadlines. This gives you the foundation to scope CIT engagement terms, estimate recovery value, and advise your client on the optimal path forward.

For cases that require CIT litigation — whether because the 180-day protest window has closed or because the importer wants to preserve maximum refund rights — you retain the litigation engagement and fees. We handle the data preparation.

Some importers prefer immediate capital over government processing timelines. When a validated claim is presented to institutional buyers, the attorney reviews the assignment structure, advises the client on terms, and ensures the transaction is properly documented. Referral fees apply to every assignment that proceeds.

This is not a competing service — it is a complementary one. Importers who choose immediate capital still need counsel to review the assignment. Importers who choose CIT litigation still need an attorney to file. Either path generates revenue for your practice.

The partner model generates revenue from three sources: referral fees on assessments you facilitate, engagement fees on CIT cases you litigate, and advisory fees on claim assignments you review. The specific fee structure depends on the engagement type and is outlined during your partner setup call.

There is no cost to join. No minimum commitment. No exclusivity requirement. You refer the clients you choose and retain full control of the attorney-client relationship.

Common questions from trade attorneys.

What data do you provide for CIT scoping?
Entry-level analysis including HTS classifications, duty amounts, liquidation status, and applicable deadlines. This gives you the foundation to scope CIT engagement terms with your client.
How does claim assignment review work?
We present validated claims to institutional buyers. When an importer prefers immediate capital over waiting for government processing, the attorney reviews the assignment structure and advises the client. Referral fees apply.
Do you compete with my litigation practice?
No. We refer CIT-eligible cases to trade attorneys. We do not litigate, file claims, or provide legal counsel. Your practice retains the litigation relationship and fees.
What is the typical engagement size?
IEEPA tariff refund exposure ranges from under $50K to over $50M per importer. Trade attorneys typically focus on high-value cases where CIT litigation or complex recovery structures are warranted.
