Expert profile

Dr. Patrik Deutsch
I am a Managing Associate and focus on the intersections of sales tax, customs, and foreign trade law. I advise companies on cross-border matters and translate legal requirements into robust, practical solutions. As a trainer, I structure complex topics around key questions and highlight their practical implications. I am motivated by the challenge of clearly summarizing even complex issues. I chose this profession because it gives me ongoing insight into different business models, processes, and international structures.
