Each editorial board comprises approximately 10 subject-matter experts who provide feedback on Law360’s coverage and insight on how best to cover each respective practice area. This year marks the second consecutive year for Nagarajan on the International Trade board, while this is the first year for Bricken, Maurer, and Raupp on their respective boards.

Washington, DC-based Nagarajan focuses her practice on trade-remedy strategy and antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings. Her previous roles at the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Court of International Trade give Nagarajan an insider’s perspective as she counsels clients on administrative and regulatory acts before Commerce, the International Trade Commission and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). She has advised foreign manufacturers in India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Korea and Vietnam in handling trade and supply chain issues associated with exports to the United States.
