Chambers Ranks Sidley as the Only Firm to Receive Band 1 Rankings Across International Trade Jurisdictions for 10 Years Running

Sidley is proud to announce that it has been ranked Band 1 by Chambers & Partners for International Trade across all major jurisdictions – Global, USA, Europe, and Asia-Pacific – for the tenth consecutive year (2017–2026).

This milestone exemplifies our sustained excellence in client service, technical capability, and cross-border coordination. In 2026, Sidley received Band 1 rankings in the following International Trade categories:

Chambers Global Multi-Jurisdictional: International Trade/WTO
Chambers USA International Trade: Customs
Chambers USA International Trade: Trade Remedies & Trade Policy
Chambers Europe: International Trade/WTO
Chambers Asia-Pacific: International Trade/WTO

Earning Band 1 rankings across every major international trade jurisdiction for a decade represents more than just industry recognition. It also reflects a fully integrated global trade platform, continuous investment in premier talent, and deep experience advising on complex, cross-border matters. As international trade increasingly shapes corporate strategy and risk management, our sustained top-tier recognition affirms our success as one of the most established and comprehensive teams in the field.

Over the past decade, Sidley has made significant investments in its International Trade practice to adapt to market shifts and client needs. In the past year alone, we’ve welcomed three partners, nine associates, and four analysts. With the addition of recent lateral partners John Foote, Maura Rezendes, and Justin Becker, we have further strengthened our capabilities in trade remedies, customs enforcement, export controls, sanctions, and national security matters. Their experience enhances our ability to deliver sophisticated, coordinated advice across jurisdictions and reinforces our position at the forefront of global trade law.
