Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH's foreign trade law practice primarily focuses on sanctions and investment control and advises both medium-sized German companies and major international players. Among the most recent instructions is the advice on matters pertaining to Russia embargoes, where Ole-Jochen Melchior is a key contact. Thomas Weidlich and Philipp Dietz focus on transaction-related foreign trade law and also cover investment control issues in connection with Asia and China. This is also a key strength of Brussels-based Helmut Janssen, who co-leads the team with Melchior.
