About

Provided by Dentons

Growing geopolitical tensions, focus on national security, supply chain challenges, and ESG objectives have resulted in more complex government regulation of foreign trade. This can have a significant effect on your business’ foreign sales, supply chains, investment decisions, and regulatory compliance requirements.

Dentons’ trade lawyers in Europe are uniquely equipped to help you identify, understand and navigate the legal aspects of international trade. Based across key European jurisdictions, we combine a comprehensive understanding of applicable rules and regulations, and have experience dealing with national regulatory authorities through our legal and political advisory teams.

You can rely on us to deliver quality advice and strategic guidance covering a broad spectrum of international trade issues, including export controls, sanctions, foreign direct investment review, foreign subsidies review, regulatory disputes, trade remedies and applicable international trade law. We also support you in navigating and resolving issues under international trade law, including the agreements of the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) and other plurilateral or bilateral trade agreements.
