WORLD TRADE LAW
International Trade Regulation is developing at a breathtaking speed. The establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO), especially the introduction of a new Dispute Settlement Procedure, has enhanced the importance of International Trade Law enormously. It is no longer an exclusive matter for governments. It has gained increasing relevance for the protection of private parties' interests on the WTO-level (especially in court proceedings initiated by private firms).
In order to cope with these developments, BRÖDERMANN & JAHN has entered into a working partnership with Professor Dr. Peter Behrens (University of Hamburg) who is an expert in International Economic Law. He has taught and published in this field in Europe as well as in the USA. Further, BRÖDERMANN & JAHN has entered into a working relationship with a Washington, D. C. based law firm in order to be able to provide a global approach to international trade cases.
BRÖDERMANN & JAHN can advise on all aspects of World Trade Law (GATT, GATS, TRIPS etc.) as well as on the relevant trade regulations of the European Union. In practice, these cases are rare. However, when WTO-questions have arisen in the past, the existing networks have proven to be helpful e. g. in the defence in an injunction procedure initiated in Boston against a German client.
