Who We Are:
C&M International (CMI) is an international trade and investment consulting firm affiliated with Crowell & Moring LLP. We are a team of experienced former trade negotiators, economists, and political scientists, many of whom have served in the Executive branch and as senior congressional staff.
Our Team:
Members of our senior staff have been deeply engaged in every major international trade negotiation of the past three decades. We were at the table in the Tokyo Round and the Uruguay Round of global trade negotiations and we are well positioned to help our clients determine their priorities and meet their objectives in the recently launched Doha Development Round, as well as other multilateral negotiations such as the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). Our team is also poised to help achieve policy outcomes in multilateral fora such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and the World Health Organization (WHO).

We're equipped to bring your issues to the attention of policymakers in foreign capitals and the headquarters of international organizations across the globe.
