Trials & Appeals

Court of International Trade and Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Our clients benefit from the years of experience our attorneys have acquired handling matters at the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Customs and trade remedy cases are technical in nature, and we are confident that our approach to litigation, backed up by our record of success over the years, is a reason our clients trust us to handle these complicated disputes for them. Afterall, Barnes/Richardson has appeared as counsel in more reported CIT opinions than any other law firm.
