SCOTT D. ANDERSEN’s practice focuses on the use of World Trade Organization (WTO) rules to resolve international trade disputes. He works closely with key WTO member governments, leading companies and trade associations on a wide variety of trade disputes, including agricultural and industrial actionable and prohibited subsidies, anti-dumping and other trade remedy measures, sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures, technical regulations and standards, and various forms of trade discrimination. 

REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS

Between 1995 and 2000, Scott was a Legal Advisor to the U.S. Mission to the WTO in Geneva, Switzerland where he represented the United States in more than 30 disputes before the WTO before panels and the Appellate Body. During that time, he was also the Geneva USTR-based negotiator for environment, investment, balance for payments, fishing subsidies and customs valuation issues between 1996 and 2000.

Prior to his arrival in Geneva, Scott worked for five years at the U.S. International Trade Commission focusing on anti-dumping and intellectual property issues, as well as playing an active role on the U.S. delegation to the NAFTA investment negotiations. Between 1980 and 1988, he was a litigator in private practice in Washington, D.C. involved in contract, commodities and security fraud cases in U.S. federal courts.
