Provided by James Smith
Jay Smith is a partner in the Washington office. He joined the firm after several years as a professor of political science and international affairs, during which he specialized in international trade policy and international dispute settlement. His practice in the International and Litigation groups draws on this academic and policy experience.
He is currently helping clients develop and implement strategies to mitigate supply chain risks arising from U.S. trade actions. In addition, Jay regularly represents respondents in U.S. trade remedy proceedings and related litigation, helping to secure a number of negative injury determinations at the ITC in recent years. Jay also advises clients on the negotiation and enforcement of international treaty commitments under the WTO, bilateral and regional trade agreements such as the USMCA, and other international fora. Much of his policy work is at the intersection of trade and other areas, such as intellectual property, the environment, or labor rights.
