Noerr increasingly advises on investment control and sanctions law in addition to its traditional focus on supporting blue chip clients in export control and customs law matters. Led by Bärbel Sachs, the team is instructed by large industrial companies and associations on the support in Russia exits; the practice also advises on sanctions compliance. A growth area is the support for clients with Chinese trade relationships in anti-dumping matters and investment control. Claus Zimmermann is well versed in WTO and EU regulatory law and regularly leads in criminal proceedings and litigation.
