Mr. Malashevich works closely on an ongoing basis with clients in the metals, minerals, agricultural, telecommunications and electronics product areas.  He has prepared numerous technical studies and has testified often as an expert before the International Trade Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Commerce, federal courts and other U.S. Government agencies on the impact of changes in competitive conditions on a wide variety of manufacturing and service industries.  In this capacity, his attention has been focused principally on market definition, price behavior, and conditions of competition.  His corporate clients have included such firms as AT&T, Toyota Motor Company, Motorola, Harley‑Davidson Motor Company, Occidental Chemical Company, Mobil, Teijin, Ltd., SKF Industries, Inc., NSK, Ltd., Nippon Steel, British Steel (now Corus), Usinor (now Arcelor) and most of the world’s other, major steel companies.
