  • Testimonials

    Export compliance law is not an area of practice that global companies should just dabble in ..... and neither should their outside counsel. A combination of experience, expertise and practical advice is critical in guiding companies through the rigorous landscape of export control. Roz Thomsen and the team at Thomsen & Burke have not only proven themselves to be professionals of the highest degree, they have become relied upon strategic partners of our organization.
    ~ Daniel S. Follis, Jr.
    Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary, Compuware Corporation

    I can always count on Roz Thomsen for informed, yet pragmatic advice in the complex area of export compliance. With Roz, I don't get recitations of generalities that I already know, but rather solutions to the problems my company is facing. I highly recommend him.
