The firm’s clients greatly benefit from Vincent Courcelle-Labrousse’s extensive experience in investigations and trials to resolve complex customs, tax or law enforcement disputes.

He has developed a sought-after expertise in European and national customs law. He is in charge of high-stakes litigation in all aspects of customs matters (taxation and customs procedures – customs duties, anti-dumping duties, VAT – sectoral regulations, environment and energy – TICPE, TICGN, indirect taxes…).

Since being sworn in, Vincent Courcelle-Labrousse has also been entrusted with particularly difficult and exposed criminal cases in France and abroad.
