Akin international trade partner Devin S. Sikes has been reappointed by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to the 2025-2026 U.S. roster of individuals who may serve as panelists to resolve binational disputes arising under Chapter 10 of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The USMCA Secretariat is currently administering 23 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and USMCA disputes involving 27 U.S. companies and four Trade Associations, over 858 thousand U.S. workers and more than $6.9 billion in subject merchandise.    

This marks Devin’s sixth consecutive term serving on the U.S. roster for antidumping and countervailing disputes arising under Chapter 10 of the USMCA (and its predecessor, NAFTA). USTR first appointed Devin to the U.S. roster in 2020 (learn more here), and he has been reappointed each year since his initial appointment.
