Practice Areas

Dr. Dylan Geraets advises clients on a wide range of global trade issues, particularly on international dispute settlement, trade defence measures, customs rules, trade negotiations, sanctions, and export controls. Dylan represents clients in World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement proceedings and in proceedings before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).

On a daily basis, Dylan advises on the interpretation of rules and procedures impacting trade in goods and services. This includes the provision of advice on customs matters such as rules of origin, tariff classification, customs valuation, and the applicability of special custom procedures. In this regard, he regularly counsels clients in respect of proceedings before customs and other relevant authorities of EU Member States. Dylan also assists clients across industries in trade remedy investigations, such as anti-dumping and safeguard investigations.

Dylan regularly advises on the implications of the EU's sanctions and export control regimes in relation to certain dual-use goods and other controlled items. In addition, he guides clients in respect of their day-to-day sanctions compliance efforts under the EU sanctions regimes, as well as with respect to the implementation of sanctions imposed by the United Nations.

Dylan also advises on EU regulatory issues, including ESG-related matters such as supply chain due diligence, forced labour, and environmental issues including deforestation, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), as well as instruments adopted or negotiated as part of the push for "Strategic Autonomy", such as the FDI Screening Regulation, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, and the Anti-Coercion Instrument.

In 2022, Dylan was appointed as Professor of International Trade and Investment Law at the University of Antwerp. As Member of the Academic Board of the ELSA John H Jackson Moot Court Competition on WTO Law and of the Society of International Economic Law (SIEL), Dylan regularly speaks at international conferences, such as the SIEL Global Conference and the BIICL Annual Conference on WTO law. His research has been published in the Journal of International Economic Law, the World Trade Review, the Journal of World Trade, and the Global Trade and Customs Journal.

Dylan holds a PhD from KU Leuven (Belgium). His doctoral dissertation entitled "Accession to the World Trade Organization: A Legal and Normative Analysis" was published in 2018 by Edward Elgar Publishing. In early 2016, Dylan gained valuable experience in the Appellate Body Secretariat of the WTO. Earlier in his career, he served at the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Economic Affairs of The Kingdom of The Netherlands as a trade policy advisor based at the Permanent Representation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the WTO in Geneva.

Dylan is fluent in English and German in addition to his native Dutch.
