• Represented a Canadian provincial government in the CVD investigation (and subsequent administrative reviews) of Softwood Lumber from Canada and one of the largest Canadian producers in both the AD and CVD investigations, which covered more than $5 billion worth of imports.
• Achieved significant victories in seven separate appeals at the US Court of International Trade involving AD administrative reviews of Oil Country Tubular Goods from Korea, Welded Line Pipe from Korea and Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from Korea, where the court overturned DOC's application of Particular Market Situation adjustments.

The finding terminated the proceeding which sought to impose trade restrictions on imported blueberries to protect the U.S. growers.
