Demonstrating strong commitment to growth in the international trade area, Mayer Brown made two senior hires in 2023. John Sullivan, a former US deputy secretary of state and former US ambassador to the Russian Federation, joined in Washington DC as national security co-head; and national security and white-collar defense lawyer Adam Hickey, based in New York and Washington DC, arrived from the DOJ, where he was a Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division. The duo will provide a significant enforcement dimension to the export control and sanctions practice, which is led by Washington DC- and Dubai-based Tamer Soliman. On the customs side, high-profile sector specialist Sydney Mintzer and Jing Zhang are names to note.
