The group, which is strong in both contentious and non-contentious matters, has considerable experience of representing companies in customs and excise investigations and procedures brought by HMRC and other international authorities. Jennifer Revis heads the team in London, as well as acting as co-head of the firm’s EMEA customs group, and is recommended for regulatory matters pertaining to international trade, including import and export matters, and customs valuations and investigations. Ben Smith is a name for export controls, sanctions and anti-bribery and anti-money laundering matters, while Jessica Mutton, who was promoted to of counsel in January 2023, handles compliance, advice around regulatory developments, and Brexit-related matters.
