Trade Policy, Investment Screening & Economic Diplomacy
Reverdin Consulting advises multinational companies, investors, and institutional actors navigating the growing complexity of global trade and investment governance. The weaponization of economic tools — tariffs, sanctions, export controls, investment screening — has made trade policy one of the most consequential domains of geopolitical strategy. We help clients anticipate regulatory shifts, manage political risk, and engage with the decision-makers who shape the rules of global commerce.
Our Services
EU Trade Policy & Market Access
From the EU-Mercosur agreement to anti-dumping procedures and trade defence instruments, European trade policy is a critical lever for market access and competitive positioning. We advise companies on WTO dispute mechanisms, trade agreement implementation, and engagement with DG Trade and the European Parliament's INTA Committee.
Foreign Investment Screening & FDI Risk
The EU FDI Screening Regulation and national equivalents (CFIUS, FIRB) are reshaping M&A in sensitive sectors. We support investors and target companies in navigating screening procedures, building political credibility for cross-border transactions, and managing divestment risks across key European jurisdictions.
Sanctions & Export Controls
The weaponization of sanctions against Russia, Iran, and China has created a labyrinthine compliance landscape. We help financial institutions, exporters, and technology companies understand their exposure, engage with relevant regulatory authorities, and structure operations to minimize sanctions and export control risk.
Trade Remedies & Unfair Competition
Anti-dumping duties, countervailing measures, and the EU's Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) are increasingly used to level the playing field against state-subsidized competition. We advise companies facing investigations and those seeking to initiate or support trade remedy proceedings before the European Commission.
Economic Diplomacy & Market Entry
Breaking into new markets — particularly in the Middle East, Africa, and Indo-Pacific — requires navigating political relationships alongside commercial due diligence. We provide stakeholder mapping, introductions, and advocacy support to facilitate market entry and public contract access in relationship-driven economies.
Supply Chain Resilience & Strategic Autonomy
The EU's drive for strategic autonomy in semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and critical materials is reshaping procurement frameworks and industrial policy. We advise companies on positioning for EU-funded resilience initiatives, compliance with the EU Chips Act, and engagement with national champions programmes.
