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.
