The latest developments from AWB

On 1 April 2023, tax consultant Stefanie Schick will join the AWB teams at the Munich office. Ms Schick will focus on providing advice in the areas of customs law, origin of goods and preferences.

The former managing director of bav GmbH (Bremer Außenwirtschafts- und Verkehrsseminare) most recently worked as a senior manager at KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft in Nuremberg. There she advised and supported national and international clients in all matters relating to customs, foreign trade and export control law.

Prior to this, Ms Schick was an authorised signatory and head of product management and in-house training at bav GmbH and Reguvis GmbH. There she also lectured in seminars on customs and foreign trade law.

Before setting up and expanding bav GmbH, Stefanie Schick headed the customs and export control team at an international supplier of drive and energy systems. In addition, Ms Schick worked at the Bremerhaven customs office as a member of the office management in a staff function, where she provided technical support for the EU Commission's own resources audit and was responsible for the documentation of processes and the creation of work instructions. During her dual training in the Federal Finance Administration in the higher non-technical customs service, she completed her studies at the FH Bund Finance Faculty in Münster. She successfully passed her tax consultant examination at the Bremen Chamber of Tax Consultants in 2016.

Stefanie Schick works as a freelance author. She regularly publishes articles and writes for specialist books on topics relating to customs and foreign trade law.

Stefanie Schick: ‘I am looking forward to the new challenge, in which I can combine and contribute my previous professional experience.’

‘Over the course of her career, Ms Schick has become familiar with customs and foreign trade law from all angles: on the side of the authorities, from the perspective of large companies and as a speaker, consultant and managing director of a training provider. We are delighted to have gained another consultant for the AWB team in Ms Schick, who has an enormous amount of specialist and practical knowledge,’ said Prof. Dr Hans-Michael Wolffgang, Managing Partner of AWB Tax GmbH and Partner of AWB Law GmbH, and Andreas Beckmann, Managing Partner of AWB Tax GmbH.
