Represented the UK Government Department of International Trade in the high profile US CVD investigations of 100- to 150-Seat Large Civil Aircraft from Canada. This case presented novel and important issues of whether the US Department of Commerce could extend the CVD investigation against Canada to the UK. Helped secure a rare unanimous "no injury" determination from the ITC.

As a result, the case was terminated with respect to our client, Tata Steel IJmuiden BV, at the preliminary stage of the proceeding, which is a rare victory for a foreign producer/exporter. This was an important victory as it allowed the company to concentrate its efforts on other ongoing investigations against the company’s exports to the US.
