Liam takes the driver's seat this week to interview our resident trade law guru, Josh Zive, on the proclamations released by the Administration yesterday for steel and aluminum tariffs. We explore exactly what these proclamations say, what they mean for international relations and the American economy, and how they will impact domestic businesses.

Josh, Liam, and Paul react to the tumultuous past 24 hours of on-again-off-again steel and aluminum tariff announcements from the Administration. We break down the context and history of the proposed tariffs and the President's tweeted claims that trade wars are "easy to win."

Paul Nathanson swings by The Lobby Shop to talk with Josh about trade policy news. First up is a discussion of proposed steel tariffs and their potential to hurt American industry, then an update on NAFTA and Canada's interest in removing ISDS provisions, something that could impact the Administration's interest in renegotiating the trade agreement, followed by a quick look at the recently instated solar tariffs and their impact so far, and wrapping with some blockbuster reviews.

From the passage of the 2018 budget deal to the President's FY19 budget proposal announcement, there has been a lot of talk in Washington about federal money and where it should go. Josh and Liam sit down with two lobbyists who have significant experience in this complicated area of government, Ed Krenik and John Lee, to discuss the political context for these events, how they differ, and what they mean for policy going forward.

Josh is joined by Liam Donovan, Scott Segal, and Anna Burhop to discuss last night's State of the Union Address, what President Trump's speech did (and did not) mention, and what that tells us about policy priorities in 2018.

Josh and Scott interview the newest member of the PRG team, Stoney Burke, who comes to us from the Hill where he served as Chief of Staff to Congressman Will Hurd (TX-23). We dive into Stoney's unique perspective on what 2018 holds for US policy and politics, the value of solution-driven lobbyists, and the upcoming State of the Union Address on January 30.

This week, Liam takes a turn as host for a brief conversation with PRG's trade expert and most familiar voice, Josh Zive. We cover the history, context, and recent developments surrounding the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other impending trade policy.

Welcome to 2018! After a holiday hiatus, we're back in The Lobby Shop with Liam Donovan to discuss the wrap of the tax reform bill, upcoming goals for Congress, and what the new year holds for US policy and politics.

One of the latest additions to Bracewell's DC team is Angela Styles, prominent government contracts lawyer and heavy hitter in Washington. From the Departments of Defense, Energy, Interior, Homeland Security and Veteran Affairs to the General Services Administration (GSA), Angela has assisted companies with issues ranging from procurement integrity, civil false claims, complex internal investigations, intellectual property and more. Tune in for a chat about the world of government contracts, its complexities, and being a DC hockey parent.

It's been a hectic few months in Washington, and this week was no exception. With that in mind, here is a bonus episode featuring PRG's resident tax expert Liam Donovan on the latest in tax reform and what's up next for the Conference Committee, final vote, and beyond. Tune in for a look behind the scenes and lots of seasonal analogies.
