With more than three decades of international trade experience, Jasper helps clients navigate the most challenging regulatory environments. His practice spans sanctions, export controls, national security, anticorruption and anti-money laundering (AML), as well as customs, trade remedies, free trade agreements and rules of origin.

He develops forward-looking strategies that help clients anticipate regulatory shifts and succeed in geopolitically sensitive transactions, industries and jurisdictions.

Jasper also leads regulatory and internal investigations, prepares voluntary disclosures and negotiates favourable resolutions with enforcement agencies—including in criminal matters. His transactional practice includes counseling on mergers & acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures (JVs), investments, lending, due diligence, shareholder matters and corporate governance.

Jasper keeps clients’ business objectives front and centre, delivering direct, timely and pragmatic counsel informed by decades of hands-on engagement with regulators. He has a proven track record of resolving complex regulatory disputes and achieving outcomes that protect his clients’ interests.

His clients include leading multinational companies headquartered in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia across diverse sectors: energy (upstream & downstream), semiconductors and hi-tech, aerospace & defence, shipping, commodity trading, private equity, private credit, sovereign wealth funds and investment management.

Jasper’s matters regularly span multiple jurisdictions, including the EU (and individual member states), the UK, the US and Switzerland. He is particularly skilled at managing the interplay between US sanctions, export controls and national security regulations and the compliance requirements of other jurisdictions—including local laws and “blocking regulations.”
