Assess export control risks digitally: GvW launches online tool with BRYTER
Companies wishing to export physical goods, software or technology abroad now have a digital tool at their disposal: With our online tool, they receive an initial export control risk assessment free of charge. Our lawyers have created the tool themselves using BRYTER's automation software. During our tour through the Port of Hamburg, Michael Grupp, CEO of BRYTER, and our partner Dr. Lothar Harings, head of the practice group Customs and Foreign Trade Law, exchanged views on Legal Tech applications in foreign trade.
