Kelley Drye & Warren LLP is distinguished by its long-standing record in the sphere and one source attests that it ‘uses this history to correlate current cases’. A regular fixture in litigation before the DOT and the USITC, the group enjoys close relationships with petitioners and counts the Aluminum Association and ArcelorMittal USA among its representative clients. A stand-out name in the trade remedies and policy space, Paul Rosenthal is a trade veteran and successfully represented Worthington Industries in securing a unanimous preliminary affirmative determination from the USITC concerning imports of non-refillable steel cylinders from India. Other seasoned trade specialists in the Washington DC-based team include Kathleen Cannon, who led on a string of successful trade remedies cases over the past year; international trade chair John Herrmann, who is becoming a go-to name for the US aluminum industry in trade remedy and trade policy matters; and Washington DC office managing partner Alan Luberda, who focuses on antidumping and countervailing duty cases. Brooke Ringel is also noted for her ability to ’explain the complex in a way a layman can understand’.
