Sidley is distinguished in having not just one or two, but dozens of professionals who have been directly involved “from the inside” in the development of WTO law and jurisprudence – in the private sector, as government litigators, and as members of the WTO secretariat assisting panels and the Appellate Body in resolving disputes.
The quality of our practice has been recognized by our clients and peers alike. We hold the Chambers Global Award for “Global WTO Law Firm of the Year”, and our team has been named by Who’s Who Legal as the “Global Trade and Customs Law Firm of the Year” every year since the award’s inception in 2005. Chambers’ research reveals that clients praise Sidley as “the most renowned team in Geneva, where its name is synonymous with WTO instructions and expertise”, that “Sidley’s WTO expertise as a group is unrivalled” and that Sidley is “on everybody’s shortlist for WTO representation”. Many members of our team have also been identified as top WTO practitioners by Chambers and other rating organizations.
