Anti-Subsidy
We frequently represent exporting producers, importers and Governments from several WTO Members. We provide our clients with legal representation and assistance throughout anti-subsidy investigations (including completing questionnaires, the submission of disclosure comments and attending on-site inspections and hearings). We also represent our clients in legal proceedings before the EU Courts and the WTO Dispute Settlement System. KA-Legal Senior Partner is the co-author of the leading book on EU anti-subsidy law and practice and is one of the best-known experts in this area.
