German Sanctions Lawyer

In foreign trade and export control criminal law matters, we represent companies and responsible individuals in cases involving alleged breaches of export bans, licensing requirements, and the German Foreign Trade and Payments Act (AWG). Matters frequently involve dual-use items, war weapons, and unauthorised exports from the European Union.

Another key area of our practice concerns alleged breaches of embargoes and sanctions—for example in connection with Russia, Belarus or Iran—including circumvention schemes, inaccurate statements to BAFA (the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control) or customs authorities, as well as cases involving prohibited services, capital movement restrictions, and transit/transshipment violations.
