Beth PetersHogan Lovells US LLP

‘Blending legal expertise with a deep understanding of global trade dynamics’, Hogan Lovells US LLP is particularly recognized for its thriving export controls and economic sanctions practice, while it also maintains a significant customs offering. In terms of the former area, the group draws on colleagues in Asia, the EU and the UK to provide a strong base of heavily regulated industry clients with multi-jurisdictional regulatory and enforcement advice, particularly in relation to perceived ‘high-risk’ countries, such as Russia, China, Iran, and others. Key names to note include Beth Peters, who is widely regarded as a market leader for export controls and economic sanctions matters. Overarching international trade and investment co-head, Ajay Kuntamukkala, is also a high-profile name for export controls and economic sanctions, where he counts Pfizer among his representative clients. The Washington DC-based group also draws on the export controls and sanctions expertise of Stephen PropstAleksandar DukicAnthony Capobianco and counsel Josh Gelula. On the customs side, trade litigator Craig Lewis and international trade and investment co-head Jonathan Stoel are recommended. In January 2024, Chandri Navarro left the firm.
