Foreign Trade

It’s an ever-changing world. We’ll keep you up to date.

Constant change at the political level and in the global economy requires comprehensive know-how on channels of commerce and export control compliance. You name the goal, we’ll find the way.

Topics such as investment control or sanctions require considerable experience. With our leading expertise, we advise companies, logistics service providers and financial institutions on the development and implementation of compliance strategies, contract drafting, proceedings to obtain licenses and information as well as in their day-to-day business.

We represent companies before the national authorities and European Commission, as well as before financial and administrative courts up to the level of the European Court of Justice. We also represent companies and their executive officers in criminal and fine proceedings.

Our range of advice in the field of foreign trade includes:

  • Foreign trade law/export control
  • Economic sanctions and embargoes
  • International contract law
  • Excise duty law
  • WTO law and other international economic treaties

After a reportedly heated debate, the EU has agreed on a new instrument to combat circumvention practices by prohibiting exports to third countries other than Russia. It has, however, not decided on any goods or countries concerned by this new prohibition yet. This new instrument is to be used only if other individual measures and contacts with the countries concerned have no effect. Most of the new provisions entered into force on 23, respectively 24 June 2023.
