The Whitehouse is moments from Curtis’s Washington DC office – and host Kate is there to speak with managing partner Claudia Frutos Peterson, who teaches international commercial and investment arbitration alongside her thriving practice, and Dan Porter, who leads the firm’s elite international trade practice.

• Claudia explains the attraction for young attorneys of these dynamic areas of the law and why advising sovereign clients is particularly interesting. How the international nature of a firm like Curtis sits perfectly in DC – where life is truly multicultural and multilingual;
• Dan focuses on both advisory and litigation trade work. He describes working at the intersection of trade policy and politics. In an election year, his focus is on advising international clients into the U.S. on the likely implications of a change in administration.

On Tour with Curtis is a Fresh Air production. The producer is Jack Soper.
