Zarema A. Jaramillo's practice focuses on complex antitrust matters such as government investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, regulatory clearances in M&A transactions, and high-stakes antitrust class action defense. Zarema regularly advises clients on enforcement matters before state and federal agencies, and counsels on competition issues, including refusals to deal, distribution and franchising restraints, pricing issues, exclusive dealing, joint ventures, and trade association activities. She assists clients in the financial services, technology, energy, and life sciences sectors, to name a few, by developing comprehensive compliance programs, offering practical counsel on regulatory issues that arise in M&A deals, and advising on dispute resolution strategies.

Zarema also advises clients on international trade issues arising from the Office of Foreign Assets Control economic sanctions. Her clients benefit from her extensive experience in and understanding of the U.S. government: she has served as a trade specialist for the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration in the Office of China, and as the Acting Director of the U.S. Department of Commerce Corporate Governance Program in the Office of Russia.

During her tenure in these roles, she provided guidance to U.S. companies regarding the application of trade agreements and helped coordinate inter-agency negotiations on China’s WTO accession commitments, as well as export controls and import administration issues. While in the government, Zarema has designed and implemented training programs for corporate executives and legal practitioners throughout the United States, Russia, and Central Asia to address anti-bribery, antitrust and corporate governance issues.

Zarema is fluent in Russian and proficient in French.
