Washington – January 26, 2022:

Crowell & Moring’s International Trade Group has been named a Practice Group of the Year for 2021 by Law360. This marks the fourth year the group has been recognized by the publication with this distinction.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Law360 with this honor,” said Nicole Janigian Simonian, co-chair of the International Trade Group. “We continue to take pride in the partnerships we have with our clients and the trust they put in us to handle their most important matters.”

In a profile of the group, Law360 noted the firm’s work with Invenergy Renewables “in its ongoing campaign against solar panel duties,” as well as how the firm “steered DuPont through a synthetic roofing imports dispute that risked its access to a $29 billion market.” The publication also highlighted the collaborative nature of the group as a key factor to its success, allowing lawyers from across the firm to come together to offer clients the deepest bench of knowledge and meet their needs.

“The international trade community is in the midst of a turbulent time and our clients look to us to provide advice and stability,” said John Brew, co-chair of the International Trade Group. “As we continue to grow our group, we remain committed to providing top-level client service on a global scale.”
