The BakerHostetler International Trade Remedies and Trade Policy team is known for its creativity and courage in testing new legal ideas on behalf of clients engaged in complex and unusual legal matters in forums around the world. Our attorneys offer an awareness of, and sensitivity to, client needs and have decades of experience counseling both governments and private companies on how best to protect and advance their interests in the full range of trade remedies and other disputes under U.S. and international law. Clients count on us as both legal counselors and strategic advisers when confronting exceptionally challenging problems that are critical to their business or policy interests, and clients often retain us for atypical matters for which our inventiveness and resourcefulness are paramount.
In the past two decades, we have handled some of the most important and highest profile international law and international trade matters, achieving path-breaking results. For example, our legal victory in the United States Court of International Trade led to the landmark 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement between Canada and the United States, and we achieved the single most important legal reversal of American antidumping practices in more than two decades while advising the Government of Canada in its World Trade Organization (WTO) challenge to the U.S. practice of “zeroing.”
We are recognized regularly by numerous rating groups, such as Chambers and Partners and Martindale Hubbell, as among top international lawyers in the world for quality of work, esteem of peers, and honesty and integrity of the practice. On National Public Radio’s “This American Life,” radio host Ira Glass referred to one of our attorneys as a go-to lawyer for large clients in international matters.
