We represent Chinese industries, exporters, and public bodies in countervailing duty (CVD) investigations initiated both within China and by foreign jurisdictions. Our team provides end-to-end legal and strategic support, combining deep familiarity with Chinese industrial policy and subsidy frameworks with technical understanding of global trade remedy procedures.

Initiating Investigations in China

• Petitioning for CVD Investigations

  We represent domestic industries in initiating petitions before the Ministry of Commerce, assisting with data collection, injury assessment, and the preparation of industry reports.

• Preparing for On-Site Verifications

  We help clients compile verification materials and provide in-person assistance during audits conducted by investigating authorities.

Defending Against Foreign Investigations

• Responding to Foreign CVD Investigations

  We assist Chinese companies in responding to foreign CVD actions, including questionnaire responses, policy review, and subsidy rebuttal.

• Assessing Government Support Measures

  We provide legal analysis on whether tax rebates, land use rights, preferential loans, and other policies constitute actionable subsidies under international trade rules.

Building Legal and Economic Strategies

• Developing Core Defense Arguments

  We advise on legal issues such as specificity, benefit conferred, and attribution of subsidies to strengthen clients’ positions during investigations.

• Preparing Injury and Market Impact Analyses

  We support clients in developing price effect studies, causation defenses, and substitute product assessments.

Coordinating and Challenging Proceedings

• Coordinating with Anti-Dumping Investigations

  We assist clients in aligning evidence and arguments when CVD and anti-dumping investigations are conducted in parallel.

• Challenging Final Determinations and Seeking Remedies

  We represent clients in administrative reviews, litigation, and WTO dispute settlement mechanisms to challenge adverse determinations and protect market access.
