International Trade and WTO
JT&N's international trade practice was established in 1998, and over the past decade JT&N has become the leading international trade law firm in the PRC. International trade law has always occupied an important position in China, and has become even more crucial since China’s accession to the WTO in 2001. The firm's position is a reflection of our twin ethos of professional excellence and focused knowledge of the constantly evolving legal framework for international trade transactions. The founding members of JT&N's international trade practice were among the first PRC lawyers to provide manufacturers and exporters with legal advice on PRC anti-dumping regulations. As a result of this unparalleled level of collective experience within the firm, we have consistently achieved extremely successful results for all of our clients in their international trade matters.
A solid indicator of the pre-eminent position occupied by JT&N in the field of international trade law is the fact that the firm has been retained by foreign manufacturers and exporters in more than 50% of the international trade cases initiated by China to date. Our leading edge in the international trade area is grounded in the substantial experience JT&N lawyers have accumulated through direct participation in a wide variety of cases. We have been involved in the joint representation (with foreign legal counsel) of a large number of Chinese manufacturers and exporters in response to trade investigations in foreign jurisdictions.
JT&N’s unique aggregation of professional capabilities in the field of international trade law is further strengthened by the excellent working relationships the firm has developed with the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM). The firm is one of the few PRC law firms to have been retained by MOFCOM to deal with bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations and WTO dispute settlements.
