USTR General Counsel Steps Down, Acting Replacement Named

Greta Peisch is departing her job as general counsel in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and USTR Katherine Tai announced Juan Millan will serve as acting general counsel. The general counsel position must be Senate-confirmed.

“Juan has been a proven leader through his work in the Monitoring and Enforcement unit of the Office of General Counsel and in various roles held here at USTR -- his experience and expertise speak for themselves," Tai said.

Millan has been deputy general counsel for monitoring and enforcement, his second stint at USTR. In between, he was a senior legal adviser at the U.S. mission to the WTO in Geneva. He graduated from Yale Law School and has an undergraduate degree in politics from Princeton University.
