Mr Raymond Paretzky > McDermott Will & Emery LLP > Washington DC, United States > Lawyer Profile

The ‘very deep and experienced’ group at McDermott Will & Emery LLP handles a broad mix of trade remedy and policy issues, with strong skill sets in countervailing duty and antidumping proceedings, WTO and NAFTA dispute settlement, and trade negotiations. Increasingly sought after by sovereign clients, the Washington DC-based team has recently assisted the UK Government with various trade negotiations, including UK-Mexico, UK-CPTPP and others. It also continues to represent the Government of Canada in the ongoing dispute with the US over US imports of softwood lumber from Canada. Carolyn Gleason co-heads the practice and is acting for Musco Family Olive Co in several trade proceedings involving US olive imports from Spain. Other key contacts include counsels Raymond Paretzky and David Levine, both of whom handle a range of import relief, customs, export controls and trade sanctions matters. Counsel Timothy Hruby recently joined the DOC, and in May 2023 a team around former department co-chair Joanne Osendarp, Eric Parnes and Alan Kashdan also left the firm.
