Trade law and sanctions

In an increasingly challenging international business world, we help companies remain compliant and keep supply chains moving. With export control and sanctions regimes often lacking clear guidance, even seemingly routine business transactions can pose substantial risks, both financial and reputational. Our multijurisdictional team assists clients in navigating rapidly changing and complex export control requirements, trade sanctions and embargo rules at the EU and national levels. We assess potential risks associated with business relationships, conduct due diligences, draft contractual protections and implement compliance protocols and systems. Where necessary, we provide support in enforcement matters together with our highly regarded white collar practice.

We also advise clients in trade related disputes and trade defence matters. We can support clients in EU trade defence matters, investigations or various review proceedings, before the European Commission and subsequently before the Courts of the European Union. We regularly advise clients on the impact of trade agreements and WTO law on the cross-border movement of goods and the provision services and leverage the expertise of our highly regarded Romanian tax team.
