RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Jordan Kahn represents domestic producers before federal courts and agencies. The emphasis of his practice is handling appeals of agency decisions at the U.S. Court of International Trade. He litigates reviews of antidumping duty orders at the Commerce Department and International Trade Commission. He has authored briefs on trade cases at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court.
Mr. Kahn advises on customs issues such as eligibility for free trade agreement preferential treatment, having passed the Customs Broker Examination (license pending). He evaluates proposed changes to the legislation and regulation governing customs and international trade. On behalf of the domestic lumber industry, he monitors compliance with the 2006 U.S.-Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement and proceedings at the London Court of International Arbitration.
Before joining Picard Kentz & Rowe in January 2011, Mr. Kahn clerked at the U.S. Court of International Trade. At the Court, he drafted opinions and orders for cases that challenged:
- antidumping and countervailing duties imposed by the Commerce Department;
- injury determinations of the International Trade Commission;
- the assessment and valuation of duties by U.S. Customs and Border Protection; and
- actions by the Justice Department seeking penalties for import fraud.
Mr. Kahn previously represented and advised the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency as it implemented regulations to protect the Lake Tahoe watershed. At the Agency, he gave legal advice on a wide range of topics and worked on litigation at each level of the federal system, including the landmark takings case Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, 535 U.S. 302 (2002).
