Deen's areas of concentration include international arbitration, government-related disputes, subsidy law policy, WTO matters, countervailing and antidumping duty litigation, security and trade, and trade in technology products.
Deen also brings to bear nearly a decade's worth of practical experience in the business and nonprofit sectors, including service as an executive in computer hardware, software development, and consulting businesses.
Deen is the associate editor of the Kluwer Law International ITA Monthly Report, an international arbitration law journal published in association with the Institute for Transnational Arbitration. He also lectures regularly on international trade and investment issues and teaches international trade and dispute law at the University of Maryland School of Law as a member of the adjunct faculty. The 2007 edition of Chambers USA lauds Deen as "unbelievably smart," noting his role in one of the world's largest trade disputes and his capacity to "blow clients away" with his work.
