Young Legal Eagle Soars in Trade Law
There she goes, Friederike S. Görgens, making waves yet again—rising through the ranks like a rocket. Just named to Law360's 2026 Rising Stars list, she’s proving that age ain’t nothin’ but a number in the law game, especially in the nitty-gritty world of international trade. I mean, come on—they're calling her a star, but let’s be real: she's got the chops of a seasoned vet.
Breaking Ground in Trade Law
Now, here's where things get interesting. Görgens is racking up wins at big platforms like the U.S. Court of International Trade. She’s not scared to tango with giants like the U.S. International Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce either. The lady knows how to dance around antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings, making them her stomping ground. And she didn’t just waltz in; she’s pulling off the first successful undervaluation case under the Enforce and Protect Act. That’s legendary lawyer stuff right there—talk about setting the bar.
- Industry Reach: Görgens has got her hands in everything—solar energy, steel, automotive, you name it.
- Strategic Impact: Building both defensive and offensive trade strategies for clients.
"Legal accomplishments belie their age," says the publication, and frankly, they're spot on.
Beyond Legalities: Crafting Competitive Advantages
Görgens isn't just slapping Band-Aids on trade issues; she’s flipping problems into perks. Her approach is less about putting out fires and more about future-proofing her clients’ operations. If you play your cards right in trade legalities, you’re not just dodging a hit—you're making the market work for you. She’s got clients in solar and specialty chemicals, even chow-makers—turning trade turmoil into opportunity is where she shines.
Sharpening Clients' Competitive Edge
Now, Görgens isn’t just about extinguishing immediate threats. Her mantra is long-term vision, transforming trade snafus into some sort of mutant superpower for her clients. She helps companies press U.S. market access issues in their favor and flips the script on tariff and trade policies. It's like she’s got a sixth sense for turning chaos into a business strategy—proactive and pragmatic, indeed.
Plus, she’s leading Greenberg Traurig’s German-American Trade and Investment team. An ace in building cross-Atlantic bridges, Görgens gives companies a leg up in navigating international regulations. It's not just about knowing what the rules are—it's knowing how to bend them in your favor without snapping 'em.
Greenberg Traurig: A Powerhouse Backdrop

They’ve been trailing their winning cards across boards, cultures, and borders. Recognized as one of the top dogs by Am Law Global 100 and others, they provide not just legal service but a full-blown strategic playbook for their clients—some of the smartest moves in the game.
