‘Their skills run the gamut of trade issues and they have a straight-forward and pragmatic approach to helping companies achieve commercial goals. Jasper Wauters is responsive and helpful, and he delivers solid work at short deadlines. Charles Julien is diligent and pays attention to details, and he is not afraid of diving into complex situations and datasets to find the best strategy. Marcus Sohlberg is quickly establishing his skills and expertise in the trade community.’

‘White & Case has an extensive experience in international trade and dispute resolution before the WTO. Their level of knowledge and expertise in the field is extraordinary. They not only master the theory of WTO Law, but they also handle the practice with astonishing skill.’

‘White & Case’s team members are very capable and have a great deal of experience in handling WTO matters. Most of them are fluid in two or more languages, which facilitates communication and helps to better understand their client’s needs. They are genuine experts in their respective fields, which helps to quickly build trust and confidence in their relationship with the client.’

‘The team is highly trained and up to date with the issues and jurisprudence in the WTO. We highlight the team led by Jasper Wauters and made up of Marcus Sohlberg and Guillermo Giralda Fustes. They are highly qualified people, who master the aspects of the WTO and in particular the dispute settlement mechanism.’

‘Jasper Wauters stands out in meeting the client’s needs and demand delivering what was precisely requested in time.’

‘White & Case LLP is led by one of the leading practitioners in the field, Mr. Jasper Wauters. He is very sharp, knowledgeable, and experienced. I think the fact that the team is led by Mr. Wauters is the single biggest advantage that White & Case’s WTO practice has. In addition, White & Case’s depth of talent pool helps the firm equip its WTO team with enough resources and manpower. So, in sum, it’s like one great lawyer spearheading the team with a wealth of resources. It can’t get much better than this.’

‘Mr. Jasper Wauters already garners much recognition internationally, but I think he should get more. He is very smart and extremely analytical. He also possesses a very balanced view over diverse issues of the law, industry, and policies. I also recommend Mr. Marcus Sohlberg. A very knowledgeable and professional lawyer who is destined to become famous, if not already famous.’

‘Excellent knowledge, technically sound, efficient and a pleasure to work with. Mr. Charles Julien: Always accessible, absolute honesty and value oriented. Most knowledgeable person and most helpful at any time and anywhere.’

‘Our top pick was always Alan Yanovich, a WTO veteran who has handled almost all kinds of WTO litigations. His track record alone speaks volumes. You will never be disappointed. He also has a very close connection with the insiders within Geneva, which is also a big plus. This is not to mention that he is a great lawyer and litigation strategist.’

‘I think one of the major advantages Akin Gump holds over its competitors is its ability to summon synergistic collaboration among offices located in different areas and regions. For example, Akin Gump’s Geneva Office houses some of the most experienced WTO experts in the world, while its Washington DC Office houses very experienced and competent trade remedy experts. You would typically think there must be some sort of barrier between different offices of the same international law firm, and you are usually right. But that does not apply to Akin Gump. Akin Gump’s Geneva Office and DC Office truly work as one team. That is a big advantage.‘

‘The team is highly professional. It has a very deep knowledge of WTO law and extensive experience in WTO litigation. It is very responsive to our needs and always keen to offer the best service.’
