As businesses navigate an increasingly complex and fast-moving global trade environment, Gowling WLG is building on the strength of its International Trade & Customs team to help Canadian and multinational clients assess the implications and make confident decisions about their operations, investments, and growth.

The team’s continued growth includes the addition of Margaret Kim as counsel in Toronto. Margaret’s combination of private practice and government experience, including as Trade Counsel to the Province of Ontario, brings valuable insight into how trade and investment policy is developed, applied, and translated into real-world outcomes.

“Trade uncertainty has become a constant for businesses as tariffs, countermeasures, and policy shifts continue to alter the rules and conditions for cross-border activity,” said Pierre Pilote, Chair of Gowling WLG’s Specialized Practices Department. “Clients need timely, sophisticated guidance as developments unfold, particularly when they have significant commercial and operational consequences. Margaret’s arrival adds further depth to an already strong team equipped to respond to that demand.”
