Khalil Hegarty's Company Details
Article Three believes that open, rules-based trade is a force for good, driving economic development that benefits people around the world.We believe that trade enables positive social, economic and environmental outcomes in rich and poor countries alike, bringing people – and the services they provide and the goods they make – together across borders and cultures.We analyse the details, provide advice on accessing markets and advocate for improved access.Whether it's assisting countries and industries to overcome technical barriers, improving the skills of officials undertaking trade negotiations, or helping companies navigate complex requirements in export markets, our goal is to provide the best solutions for our clients and stakeholders.Article Three's story begins more than 25 years ago. The establishment of the World Trade Organisation in 1995 gave Australian businesses an unprecedented opportunity to tap into global markets. But this new set of rules for global trade also presented a significant challenge.Just two years later former diplomat Alan Oxley created ITS Global, a specialist consultancy focused solely on trade policy. Its mission was to assist businesses and governments navigate these new waters and find opportunities beyond their borders.The company became the trusted name in trade policy for governments, businesses, and research organisations across the Asia-Pacific region. Its success has been driven by a team of focused and experienced trade policy professionals.With the retirement of its founder in 2020, the company evolved with new leadership and a new name: Article Three. The new name invokes Article III of the GATT: National Treatment. This is the cornerstone principle of international trade: countries should not discriminate unfairly against others. They must apply the same rules to imports as they do to domestically produced goods. In return, their exports will be treated fairly in other markets.
