Dr. Simon Schropp provides to-the-point analysis and advice that enables clients to advance their interests in negotiations or litigation, optimally implement strategic business decisions, or share policy initiatives. He has extensive experience across a range of policy and legal regimes and jurisdictions, as well as business sectors, including agricultural commodities, raw materials, civil aviation, fast-moving consumer goods, and e-commerce. He has also testified before regulators and participated in litigation before the World Trade Organization, international arbitration tribunals, and domestic fora.
