The firm

The firm

A European law firm focused on trade compliance

We live in a new age of economic sanctions and export controls. Geopolitical tensions, security concerns, and changes in the global economy shape norms that affect how goods, services, funds and technology move around the world. Navigating this ever-changing landscape raises new legal questions, compliance risks and operational challenges for the private sector.
We founded Bennink Dunin-Wasowicz around a vision: guiding businesses through strategic decisions, regulatory questions and disputes arising out of modern trade compliance.  We believe that this policy-driven area of the law calls for versatile lawyers who bring deep technical expertise, practical experience, and a broad understanding of the geopolitical and economic stakes underlying these norms.

Our firm specialises in a core practice area, offering comprehensive services for all related matters. Rather than aiming for size, we are dedicated to being the firm of choice for clients seeking expertise in these specialised fields of law.

The firm’s founding partners bring unparalleled combined experience in the European Union, having practiced this area of the law in leadership positions within international and independent law firms in two of Europe’s most important trade and financial hubs.

We are passionate about what we do. Committed to providing legal advice and practical solutions at the most demanding levels, quality are at the heart of our work. Our model is based on deep partner involve relying on lean teams of highly qualified professionals.
