Lawyer Rankings
United States > International Trade > Trade remedies and trade policy
(Leading lawyers)Widely regarded as a destination practice for trade disputes and policy matters, Hogan Lovells US LLP is noted for its ability to provide ‘strong legal counsel but also strategic advice’. The group routinely links up with its international offices to offer capability across an array of Europe, Asia, Latin America and UK-related issues, with notable expertise in handling matters relating to trade with China, particularly Section 201 and 301 cases. In a recent example of its involvement in headline-grabbing work, department co-chair Deen Kaplan paired up with Kelly Ann Shaw to score a major win for Ukraine-based Interpipe, when the Department of Commerce (DOC) announced that it was removing all Section 232 duties assessed against Ukrainian steel for at least a year, overturning a 2018 decision implemented by the Trump administration. In another major win, Craig Lewis acted alongside Kaplan to successfully represent Brazilian millwork exporter Araupel in obtaining a DOC determination that imports of wood mouldings and millwork products from Brazil should not be subject to antidumping duties. The Washington DC-based group also includes ‘innovative thinker’ Jonathan Stoel, senior counsel and trade policy specialist Warren Maruyama and Jared Wessel, who has strong experience in matters at the intersection of trade and labor rights. Additionally, senior associate Maria Arboleda is highlighted as an ‘exceptional lawyer in trade defense instruments’.
United States > International Trade > Customs, export controls and economic sanctions
‘A true powerhouse in the world of sanctions,’ Hogan Lovells US LLP impresses with its ability to plug into its extensive global network, which includes Asia-, EU- and UK-based teams, to cover the waterfront on export controls and economic sanctions relating to ‘high-risk’ countries. The group’s deep bench in this sphere includes preeminent expert Beth Peters, who recently secured a ruling for ZTE that released the China-based multinational from a five-year probation term imposed in 2017 for violation of US sanctions. The ZTE work was co-led by Stephen Propst and trade and investment co-head Ajay Kuntamukkala, who is recognized for his experience in the life sciences, nuclear, technology and defense sectors. Other recommended names on the sanctions and export controls front include the ‘clear and practical’ Aleksandar Dukic, Anthony Capobianco and counsel Josh Gelula. On the customs side, Craig Lewis and Chandri Navarro are key contacts. The team also draws on the broad expertise of trade and investment co-head Deen Kaplan. Named attorneys are based in Washington DC.
