It was all a matter of chance. After studying international law at Cambridge and Yale, I worked 3 years in development projects in South America, mainly Chile and Colombia. I then returned home to start work in a Washington law firm with an international trade law practice. where I worked on an early large GATT case and numerous trade disputes,, including many for British Steel. This led to work as the lead trade staffer for the US Senate, and then a senior job in the Commerce Department responsible for antidumping [AD]and countervailing duty cases, including developing the first methodology for evaluating and measuring subsidies. When party politics ruled out any further future there, I returned to private practice, fortunately for Canada for its FTA with the US [leading to 9 more, including the UK and a TPP country], and work for a free trading coalition of companies in the Uruguay and then Doha Rounds, and much more. I have chaired 3 WTO panels and 1 Mercosur panel and litigated many more.. as well as WTO fights about trade and environment. I have taught courses at Yale, Georgetown and Columbia law schools on WTO, subsidies, the international trade law of the internet, Brexit, and similar themes and published numerous articles in JIEL, JWT, International Lawyer and other journals.
