International Trade

When representing our clients in trade remedy cases, our international trade group takes an aggressive case management approach with an emphasis on efficient resource use. While others rely on outside consultants, we personally take charge of a matter, digging deep to find the facts and uncover information from unexpected sources. We have an in-house economic support team, including former Commerce Department officials, that distills economic analyses from the massive amounts of data compiled in the international trade cases.

We make every effort to build the strongest possible defense for our clients, exploring every avenue to minimize any antidumping and countervailing duties that may be imposed. We have years of experience defending exporters and importers in antidumping cases against non-market economy countries, such as China and Vietnam. In these cases, the Department of Commerce applies special antidumping calculation rules.

We also have an excellent record of success before the U.S. International Trade Commission in injury proceedings, winning a large percentage of the cases in which we led the defense. Because of our experience, our lawyers have been selected as lead counsel on behalf of exporters in many major ITC proceedings. Our international trade lawyers also have assisted our clients defend trade cases initiated by countries other than the United States.
