His practice largely focuses on intellectual property litigation at the ITC and in federal courts. Beau has an extensive record of success in some of the most high-profile ITC cases. He also works on antidumping and countervailing duty matters before the ITC and U.S. Department of Commerce, as well as litigation and appeals before the U.S. Court of International Trade and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In addition, Beau assists clients with trade-related regulatory challenges such as tariff classification, valuation, country-of-origin marking and other compliance and litigation matters involving U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR). He also advises on foreign investment and represents clients before Congress and federal agencies on trade and intellectual property matters.
Beyond his own practice, Beau serves as the relationship partner for several clients, acting as outside general counsel and overseeing various legal needs. Whether a client’s situation requires examination of regulations, structuring a complex transaction, litigating a dispute or any other legal acumen, Beau guides the client to the best attorney for the job and ensures that Husch Blackwell exceeds their expectations.
Prior to entering private practice, Beau served as a congressional law clerk for the U.S. House of Representatives’ Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade and as a legal intern at USTR.
