BLOMSTEIN Strengthens Team in Berlin and Brussels

BLOMSTEIN is delighted to welcome two highly experienced senior lawyers: Juliana Wimmer and Uğur Can Hekim will further enhance our international trade and regulatory practice and our advisory strength in complex international regulatory matters.

Juliana Wimmer focuses on ESG, in particular supply chain compliance and product sustainability, as well as international trade, and public procurement. She brings extensive experience in legislative, legal and strategic advisory work, having spent more than seven years in the German Bundestag, most recently as Chief of Staff to the Co-Chair of the parliamentary group of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen. In this role, she oversaw complex legislative processes and provided strategic legal and political advice.

Juliana studied law and holds a Master of Public Policy. As a German-Brazilian citizen, native Portuguese speaker, and a lawyer with deep cultural insight into Brazil, she will play a central role in expanding BLOMSTEIN’s LatAm Desk. Combining legal expertise with economic and political understanding, she is looking forward to guiding clients safely through regulatory changes and complex disputes involving Brazil and Europe.

Uğur Can Hekim joins BLOMSTEIN’s Brussels office as an international trade lawyer specialised in trade defence, customs and WTO law. Uğur studied law at Galatasaray University in Istanbul, holds an LL.M. in International Economic Law from the University of Edinburgh, and completed a degree in EU and International Law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. Before joining BLOMSTEIN, Uğur worked at leading international law firms in Brussels. Uğur’s multi-jurisdictional litigation experience, analytical precision and understanding of global trade dynamics make him an excellent addition to BLOMSTEIN’s Brussels-based team.

With the addition of Juliana and Uğur, we continue our strategic growth in Berlin and Brussels while further deepening our expertise in international trade defence, ESG and related regulatory fields. BLOMSTEIN remains committed to guiding clients through an increasingly complex global regulatory landscape shaped by geopolitical, regulatory, and economic developments.
