Export controls

We advise Danish businesses on all of the rules and potential hazards to be aware of when trading in products and services that are considered dual-use products.

Both the EU and the US have introduced legislation to prevent the exporting of weapons to countries that pose a threat to international peace or intend to use weapons for internal oppression. For most businesses, however, it is of greater relevance that a range of similar restrictions apply to the exportation of products that are designed for civil use but can also be used for military purposes.

We have in-depth knowledge of conducting business on the international market, which, from a legal perspective, is becoming increasingly complex.

Our advice 

We advise on issues such as:

  • relevant legislation and practice, including in relation to export control licences
  • preparation and enforcement of relevant compliance programmes
  • handling historical infringements, including voluntary self-reporting of internal investigations.
