About Tereposky & DeRose LLP

Tereposky & DeRose LLP is a small Ottawa firm founded in 2017 that practises exclusively in international trade and investment law. Its work covers World Trade Organization and regional trade agreement disputes, investor-state arbitration, Canadian anti-dumping and countervailing duty cases, government procurement, export and import controls, and economic sanctions. About ten lawyers make up the team, working alongside an in-house economist and a legal consultant on cross-border files.

Much of the firm's public case work involves defending Mexico's government in investor-state arbitrations arising from NAFTA and the treaties that followed it. In November 2025, an ICSID tribunal dismissed a US$2.7 billion claim against Mexico that the firm helped defend for the Secretaria de Economia. Earlier wins for Mexico include the dismissal of a US$472 million NAFTA claim in 2020 and an US$80 million multi-party claim in 2022. The firm's lawyers also appear before the WTO, the Canada Border Services Agency, and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal.
