International Trade & Trade Remedies Associate Attorney

Location: Washington, D.C.

Practice Group: International Trade & Customs

Position Type: Full-time

About the Firm

We are a premier, internationally recognized D.C. boutique law firm specializing at the intersection of global commerce, administrative law, and regulatory enforcement. Our legal team regularly handles high-stakes, headline-making trade disputes for foreign manufacturers, U.S. importers, domestic producers, and multinational trade associations.

We offer the sophisticated, high-impact practice of a BigLaw international trade group paired with the agility, collaborative culture, and direct client access of a specialized boutique.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a high-caliber International Trade Associate Attorney with 2 to 6 years of hands-on experience in trade remedies and border compliance. In this role, you will work directly alongside market-leading practitioners on complex administrative proceedings before federal agencies and litigate high-profile appeals before federal courts.

This position offers significant hands-on responsibility from day one, including drafting agency briefs, analyzing complex cost-accounting data, and interfacing directly with key decision-makers and foreign client executives.

Key Responsibilities

• Antidumping & Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Defense: Represent clients in complex AD/CVD investigations, administrative reviews, scope rulings, and changed circumstances reviews before the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC).

• Federal Appellate Litigation: Draft briefs and pleadings for proceedings before the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).

• Customs Enforcement & Tariffs: Counsel clients on trade policy enforcement, including Section 301 and Section 232 tariff regimes, country-of-origin determinations, valuation, classification, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforcement actions.

• Supply Chain & Regulatory Compliance: Advise global clients on emerging supply chain compliance issues, including forced labor regulations (UFLPA) and environmental/product safety standards.

Qualifications & Ideal Background

• J.D. from an accredited law school with stellar academic credentials.

• Bar Admission: Active member in good standing of the District of Columbia Bar (or eligible for immediate waiver).

• Experience: 2 to 6 years of practice focused on international trade law, with emphasis on trade remedy administrative proceedings (AD/CVD).

• Technical Skills: Exceptional brief-writing, statutory analysis, and quantitative aptitude (comfort analyzing accounting, financial, and pricing data).

• Preferred Backgrounds: Experience gained within a recognized law firm trade practice, or prior agency experience with the U.S. Department of Commerce (ITA/Chief Counsel for Trade Enforcement & Compliance), USITC, CBP, or judicial clerkships at the CIT/CAFC.

Why Join Us?

• Direct Client Impact: Work closely with C-suite executives and foreign leaders rather than getting lost in large review teams.

• Sophisticated Workload: Engage in substantial, merits-based legal writing and agency practice.

• Transparent Track to Advancement: Clear progression paths, direct partner mentorship, and competitive compensation package.

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: Generous base salary with annual reviews and performance-based bonus eligibility.

• Comprehensive Health & Wellness: Premium medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus health savings accounts and wellness programs.

• Financial Security: 401(k) retirement savings plan with firm matching, life insurance, and disability coverage.

• Professional Development: 100% firm-paid Bar association dues, CLE requirements, and direct mentorship from industry leaders.

• Work-Life Balance: Generous paid time off (PTO), recognized federal holidays, paid parental leave, and Summer Friday hours.

• Flexible Work Environment: Modern D.C. office setup paired with hybrid remote work flexibility, technology stipends, and mobile phone allowances.
