"Crowell & Moring’s Brussels office hires partner Liesbeth Truyens and associate Celine De Buck to bolster its International Trade Group, focusing on economic sanctions, export controls and trade compliance."
Liesbeth Truyens brings more than 15 years of experience advising clients on economic sanctions, export controls, supply chain considerations and commercial disputes, gained both as outside counsel and from in-house work at an EU-based financial institution. Her practice covers a broad range of compliance matters, including export controls, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, the Private Investigations Act and related regulatory concerns. Truyens routinely manages complex enforcement matters, supporting organisations through regulatory proceedings and criminal investigations, and advises on ESG requirements in the context of EU directives such as the CSRD, CSDDD, EUDR and the EU Forced Labour Regulation. She also represents businesses in commercial litigation in court and arbitration and is experienced in mediation and reconciliation. Truyens joins Crowell & Moring as a partner from Schoups BV, where she served as head of the sanctions, export controls and compliance practice. Prior to joining Schoups in 2020, she worked at two international law firms and served four years as in-house legal counsel for an international banking and insurance group in Brussels.
Celine De Buck joins Crowell & Moring’s Brussels office as an associate. Her practice encompasses economic sanctions and export controls, commercial law, dispute resolution and broader trade-related compliance. De Buck also moves from Schoups BV.
