Hogan Lovells International LLP's strategic operations, agreements and regulation practice routinely handles investment control matters with a focus on compliance. Clients from the regulated industries such as TMT and defense instruct the team on the implementation of compliance systems as well as investment control. Thanks to the cross-location cooperation, the team assists with sanctions and planned exits from Russia. Here, the export and investment control lawyer Falk Schöning is a key contact; he jointly leads the team with supply chain expert Florian Unseld and regulatory specialist Patrick Ayad. Senior associate Stefan Kirwitzke complements this with antitrust law expertise.
