Dominic Bianchi helps U.S. and international companies solve high-stakes trade disputes and trade-policy challenges. His practice centers on Section 337 unfair import investigations before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) proceedings. A former ITC General Counsel and senior official at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), Dominic combines agency, appellate, congressional and trade-policy experience to protect market access, manage supply-chain risk and advance commercial goals.

In Section 337 matters, Dominic represents complainants and respondents in disputes involving patent, trademark and copyright infringement and other unfair methods of competition involving imported products. He develops litigation strategies that account for legal risk, potential remedies, market access and business objectives. His work spans early case assessment, proceedings before ITC administrative law judges, Commission review, remedy and public-interest issues and appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

In Title VII matters, Dominic represents domestic industries and U.S. importers in antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings and related litigation, with a focus on injury investigations and reviews before the ITC.  He helps clients develop the legal, factual and economic record on material injury, threat of material injury, causation and conditions of competition.

Dominic also advises on tariff actions, global safeguard investigations and other trade-policy measures affecting market access, supply chains and investment. He understands how Congress and the Executive Branch shape trade policy. At USTR, he served Ambassadors Michael Kantor and Charlene Barshefsky in congressional-affairs and senior policy roles and helped develop legislative strategies for major trade initiatives. At the ITC, he briefed Members of Congress and committee staff and worked with congressional authorizers and appropriators. He draws on that experience to integrate agency advocacy, congressional engagement and commercial strategy.

During his decade as ITC General Counsel, Dominic led the agency's independent litigation before U.S. courts and international dispute-settlement tribunals. He also advised the Commission in Section 337 investigations involving patent, trademark and copyright infringement; Title VII AD/CVD proceedings and global safeguard investigations under the Trade Act of 1974. That experience gives him an inside perspective on how trade matters develop, allowing him to help clients anticipate trade actions, respond quickly and pursue outcomes that support their business objectives.
