Sarah E Shulman practices trade remedy litigation in the Washington,


DC office of Cassidy Levy Kent. Sarah specialized in US antidumping
and countervailing duty law advising both domestic and international
clients on litigation risk and strategy. She represents clients before the US
Department of Commerce, US International Trade Commission, US
Court of International Trade, and US Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit.
Sarah is particularly efficient in representing US industry interests in
remedying unfair trade practices at the agency level through
investigations, administrative reviews, five-year reviews, and
circumvention inquires of antidumping and countervailing duty orders.
Her practice includes appearing in Court on appeals, advocating for her
clients’ interests. Sarah’s expertise extends to Section 201, or Safeguard,
litigation before the US International Trade Commission and the Trade
Policy Staff Committee.
Skilled in trade strategy considerations, Sarah helps client navigate the
US trade law landscape to explore options such as: advocating for the
creation of statistical breakouts to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States before the 484(f) Committee to increase the accuracy of
import statistics; evaluating trade flow patterns for enforcement
opportunities of existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders
and new case assessment; advising as to the tariff liability implications of
multinational production operations; and engaging on proposed
regulatory or legislative changes.
Recent examples of Sarah’s expertise in trade remedy matters include:
• Successfully petitioning for safeguard relief, conferred via Presidential
Proclamation;
• Obtaining statistical breakouts to reflect advancement within the
steel industry, enhancing the accuracy of public market intel;
• Securing high antidumping margins on behalf of the US industry in
an ongoing investigation before the US Department of Commerce;
• Developing and briefing novel legal arguments concerning the use of
obscure regulatory provisions to correct for unfair trade competition;
• Successfully alleging evasion of an antidumping duty order through
transshipment into the customs territory of the United States
pursuant to the Enforce and Protect Act; and
• Advising on the development of a melt and pour component to the
US Steel Import Monitor.
Prior to joining Cassidy Levy Kent, Sarah was an attorney-fellow in the
Office of the General Counsel of the US Trade Representative (USTR)
where her focus was on World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute
settlement and resolving issues arising under Free Trade Agreements.
While at USTR she drafted submissions to WTO panels, participated in
interagency rule reviews, and advised on issues relating to US trade
policy. She graduated from the American University Washington College
of Law, where she was a Dean’s Fellow and served on the International
Law Review. Sarah received a B.A. in political science from the George
Washington University.
