JUVE Ranking Foreign Trade Law: Cattwyk named Tier 1
Cattwyk consists of a well-established team and has firmly positioned itself in the market. Since January 2025, we have been operating as a boutique law firm specialising in Trade Compliance, Economic Security and Sustainability. From the very beginning, our aim has been to offer our clients services at the highest level and to remain at the forefront of the market. We are therefore all the more delighted to be ranked for the first time as a 5-star practice in the JUVE Foreign Trade Law 2025 ranking.
Clear focus and in-depth expertise
The ranking highlights our particular strength in customs law, export control and sanctions. Clients also rely on our extensive expertise in legal investigations related to violations of foreign trade regulations. The expansion of our advisory services into ESG compliance has been positively noted, including German and European supply chain regulations, CBAM, EUDR, the Forced Labour Regulation and the Ecodesign Regulation. JUVE states:
‘Few competitors integrate traditional foreign trade law with sustainability issues in cross-border trade as consistently as Cattwyk.’
Strong voices for the next generation
We are particularly pleased about the explicit recognition of our younger colleagues. Dr Julia Hörnig is even described by clients as ‘up-and-coming’, while Kahraman Altun is praised for his expertise in customs law. For us, this is a strong sign of our development, which is recognised and appreciated in the market.
Recommendations for the entire partner level
All of our partners are also mentioned by name: Dr Katja Göcke, Dr Lothar Harings (‘excellent knowledge of the subject matter and understanding of business contexts’), Dr Hartmut Henninger (‘leading head at CBAM’), Franziska Kaiser (‘profound knowledge of EU sanctions law’) and Marian Niestedt (‘professional and fact-oriented’).
We are proud of this recognition so soon after our launch and extend our congratulations to our entire outstanding team. We would also like to thank our clients and colleagues for their recommendations.
