执业经验
- Represented a large Japanese ball bearing manufacturer in the first appeal for annulment of a definitive anti-dumping duty ever heard by the European Court of First Instance, which resulted in the court invalidating the duty for manifest error in the assessment of injury.
- Represented the US government in the first challenge of anti-dumping duties brought before the WTO. The appeal before the WTO’s Appellate Body resulted in numerous findings sought by the United States.
- Represented several US producers of steel fittings and flanges in a successful challenge before the US Court of International Trade to alteration of country-of-origin marking regulations that would have effectively restricted foreign sourcing of certain intermediate materials.
- Represented the Government of Korea before the WTO in a challenge by the EU alleging subsidization of the Korean shipbuilding industry. In a panel finding that largely rejected the EU’s allegations, the WTO found that the corporate restructuring carried out by Korea during the Asia crisis occurred on arm’s-length conditions and did not constitute subsidization. Additionally, we represented the Government of Korea before the WTO in a challenge of unilateral retaliation through subsidization of the EU shipbuilding industry. The WTO panel confirmed that the EU acted unilaterally in violation of WTO provisions by granting subsidies to EU shipbuilders without awaiting a WTO finding on the allegation of subsidization in Korea.
