Houston International Trade Lawyer Jamie Joiner Earns Second Consecutive Client Choice Award

HOUSTON, April 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- International trade lawyer Jamie Joiner has earned the Client Choice award for Trade & Customs Counsel in Texas for the second year in a row, winning praise from clients for her business savvy and deep knowledge of trade control regulations.

The founder and managing member of Houston-based Joiner Law Firm PLLC, Ms. Joiner represents U.S. and foreign companies in a range of trade compliance matters, including import and customs law, export controls, and regulations related to the North American Free Trade Agreement. She is the only lawyer in Texas to be honored by Client Choice in the Trade & Customs category.

Client Choice honorees are selected by the International Law Office (ILO) and legal-news provider Lexology in a two-step process. First, in-house counsel subscribers to ILO and Lexology are asked to rate lawyers on quality of legal advice, value for money, and other qualities. Those results are used to develop a short list, and those candidates may submit up to five referees for related interviews. The Client Choice team also conducts additional research.

Those nominating Ms. Joiner cited "her deep knowledge of the full spectrum of trade control regulations" and "the business-savvy quality of her legal work." One client put it like this: "Jamie's ability to provide legal counseling that fits into a real world business model sets her apart from other attorneys."

Ms. Joiner has represented multinational companies in port-of-entry customs matters from Laredo, Texas, to Long Beach, California. She advises energy companies, health care institutions, and defense contractors in the aerospace and naval sectors. She will be listed in the Client Choice Guide – USA & Canada 2014.

Earlier this year Ms. Joiner was recognized as a young legal leader with her inclusion for the eighth time on the Texas Rising Stars list.
