what clients say about us

“They have a standout presence on the complainant side of EU trade defence investigations.”

“Laurent Ruessmann and Jochen Beck are among the creme de la creme of trade practitioners in Brussels and Europe. They consistently win cases for their clients – sometimes against the odds and entrenched legal and political opposition at EU level.”

“Sources highlight the firm's strong focus on complainant work, with one describing them as “the stars for complainant work”, while another says they are a powerhouse on the producer's side’.”
