Heather Marx

I apply my experience in complex business and commercial litigation to represent a diverse range of clients. My practice includes working with corporations and individuals on corporate contractual and partnership disputes, customs, imports, and trade matters, real estate and leasing issues, litigation involving leases and guaranties, bankruptcy adversary proceedings, commercial transactions and conflicts, and employment law and benefits matters. I serve as vice-chair of the firm’s Customs, Imports, and Trade Remedies practice, which is based in Minneapolis and is one of the few full-service trade practices located outside of coastal hubs. Additionally, I hold the position of Vice Chair, Office Managing Partner of the Minneapolis office. In my work, I handle contract disputes, commercial and private loan disputes, business liquidation priority concerns, lease obligations, receivership appointments, real estate transactions, insurance claims, import-export contracts and litigation, and employment and labor disagreements. My experience in bankruptcy litigation includes years of representing both debtors and creditors in significant adversary disputes and work-outs, including clawback litigation not only in Minnesota but also in other states. I also provide counsel to domestic and international clients on strategies for foreign-based manufacturing, importation, and distribution of goods, helping them protect against anti-competitive trade barriers, regulatory challenges, and trade remedies. My representation includes matters before U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the International Trade Administration, and the U.S. Trade Representative. Cozen O’Connor’s Customs, Imports, and Trade Remedies team also advocates for clients before the United States District Courts, the U.S. Court of International Trade, and the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
