GvW wins JUVE Law Firm of the Year Award for Customs and Excise Tax

GvW Graf von Westphalen has won the Law Firm of the Year Award from the legal publisher JUVE Verlag in the Customs and Excise Tax category.
“There is hardly a stronger export control and international trade law practice than that of GvW” – that is the conclusion reached in the now published JUVE Handbook for Tax Law with regard to 13-strong team led by Dr Lothar Harings. GvW is praised for its comprehensive advisory offering when it comes to foreign trade law “in all relevant facets and with all relevant methods”.
In this current period of crisis, the firm is further recognised for the “quick and straightforward help” it provides to its clients as a one-stop shop for legal advisory services. With regard to the issue of sanctions against Russia, the practice was once again “significantly bolstered” by the addition of Tanja Galander. In its 5-star ranking, the publisher also recognised the “groundbreaking” advice provided by the team on Germany’s new Act on Corporate Due Diligence Obligations in Supply Chains [Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz – LkSG].
“We are very pleased with this award”, stated Dr Lothar Harings. “This spurs us to further pursue our innovative approach and pro-active efforts to help shape the further development of the legal fields we work in.”
In the area of international trade law the lawyers of GvW advise large German and international corporations as well as medium-sized companies. In addition to questions of conventional customs and international trade law, the focus of interest for our clients is increasingly shifting towards ESG issues such as the LkSG, CBAM or the establishment of a circular economy.
