WASHINGTON - April 10, 2017 - PRLog -- Switzerland-based consulting firm MME and Jacobson Burton Kelley PLLC, a Washington D.C. and New York-based law firm, today announced that they have entered into a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in the field of international trade law.

With Jacobson Burton Kelley PLLC as a partner, we are now in the position to serve our clients with legal opinions and advice directly from Washington, the center of U.S. trade policymaking. We are delighted that we were able to team-up with a law firm with an excellent reputation and a very experienced trade law practice having a remarkable network within relevant US authorities and we are looking forward to this fruitful cooperation."

Douglas N. Jacobson, managing partner of Jacobson Burton Kelley PLLC, said: "The complexity of international trade requires a network of experienced and high-quality firms to serve our clients. We are pleased to expand our network by formalizing our collaboration with MME. We have been impressed with the quality of their work and team members, and this will allow us to better serve our clients who have operations in and work with companies based in Switzerland and the surrounding countries."
