Excise duty expert joins BLOMSTEIN

BLOMSTEIN will benefit from Hardy‘s experience in dealing with the Federal Ministry of Finance, the German Directorate General for Customs, main customs offices and financial courts. He also maintains an extensive network with contacts to the relevant European and national trade associations such as MWV, BDI and FuelsEurope as well as government bodies. Having worked at Shell for more than 30 years, Hardy knows the ins and outs of a multinational petroleum company.

Hardy’s appointment is an important step in strengthening and expanding BLOMSTEIN’s excise duty practice led by Roland Stein. Particularly in proceedings before financial courts, clients regularly benefit from the experience of our Of Counsel Reinhart Rüsken, former judge at the German Federal Financial Court, who has decisively influenced the German excise duty case law.
