Our lawyers have acted in over 1,000 trade defence proceedings in the EU, and numerous third country jurisdictions, including the UK.

We handle a variety of complex EU and UK trade defence investigations on a day-to-day basis. Our track record of successfully defending our clients is unmatched.

We assist with all phases of anti-dumping, anti-subsidy, and safeguard investigations, representing clients before investigating authorities, EU courts, and in WTO dispute settlement proceedings. We also handle reviews, anti-circumvention and anti-absorption investigations, as well as refund applications.

Our experience representing complainants, importers, industrial users, exporters, trade associations, and governments across a broad range of industry sectors gives us a unique, across-the-board view of how EU and UK trade defence investigations are conducted.

Clients benefit from our expertise, built up over four decades, in handling the increasingly complex and technical aspects of trade defence investigations.

Whether this involves advising on the calculations involved and the procedural rules in anti-dumping investigations, the determination of a benefit or the calculation of subsidy margins in anti-subsidy investigations, or the assessment of compatibility of safeguard measures with WTO law in safeguard investigations, we provide in-depth technical expertise and practical guidance.

We have also assisted our clients with trade defence investigations carried out by investigating authorities in third countries, including the US, Canada, Australia, Türkiye and Brazil. Our reputation has led several WTO Members to engage us to train their trade officials on the practical and legal intricacies of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings.

Whatever the forum, we know how to run a case successfully, from the strategic use of the procedural rules to structuring economic and substantive legal arguments to optimum effect. Where required, we also help clients prepare for future trade defence actions by conducting risk assessments and carrying out practical training.
