Rechtsanwältin
Frederike Helmert
„Export control has become a key strategic issue – and rightly so. Sanctions regimes, tighter dual-use controls and geopolitical shifts are currently transforming the regulatory framework at such a pace that forward-looking advice is essential. My aim is not merely to help companies achieve compliance, but to ensure they remain capable of acting and remain competitive.“
