Conlin Bedard LLP

Lawyers at Conlin Bedard LLP are ‘experts in the field of international trade law’, according to satisfied clients. The Ottawa-based boutique is widely recognized as a market leader for antidumping and countervailing duty cases, where it has notably secured half of all new Canadian proceedings since the firm’s establishment in 2012. Alongside its signature strength in trade remedies, the team is also equipped to advise on economic sanctions, export controls, trade policy, customs law and WTO dispute settlement proceedings, among other issues. Benjamin Bedard and Paul Conlin co-head the practice and each contributes over 20 years of experience in trade litigation and trade policy matters. The team also draws on seasoned counsel Jean Bédard, who is a former chair of the CITT. A deep bench of up-and-coming trade specialists includes Anne-Marie Oatway and Drew Tyler — both of whom maintain broad international trade practices, with a focus on trade remedies and export controls.
