General Commercial and Sanctions

CEE-based EU sanctions law and export controls advice

We help businesses navigate complex sanctions and trade compliance regulations, ensuring compliance, mitigating risks, and securing seamless global operations in an evolving regulatory landscape in trade law.

In today’s complex international trade landscape, we help businesses stay compliant and maintain seamless supply chains. With constantly evolving and often ambiguous US, EU, and Chinese sanctions and export control laws, even routine transactions can carry financial, legal, and reputational risks.

Our multijurisdictional team, which includes US, EU, and Chinese law-qualified lawyers, provides expert guidance on EU and international sanctions and trade compliance regulations. Our dedicated team has extensive experience with export controls, trade embargoes, and sanctions enforcement. We conduct risk assessments, due diligence, and compliance audits, draft contractual safeguards, and can help implement customised compliance systems to mitigate risks.

Stay ahead of regulatory challenges—partner with us for strategic sanctions law compliance.
