Arbitration

Together with our specialists in the field of antitrust law, we can advise you comprehensively on the assertion and defence of civil law claims which are rooted in antitrust law, such as claims for (antitrust) damages, injunctive relief or delivery and if things have to go quickly, also by way of interim legal relief.

One of our core competencies is to represent our clients in national and international commercial arbitration proceedings. These can be, for example, disputes from delivery, purchase or transport contracts. We have experience with all the relevant national and international arbitration rules, including DIS, ICC, LCIA, SIAC, SCC, UNCITRAL, CIETAC, ICDR and ad-hoc arbitration proceedings in various countries. We have already conducted arbitration proceedings in Germany, Geneva, Paris, London, Washington, Singapore and Shanghai and can also represent you in other countries.

Large construction projects (plant construction, transport infrastructure, etc.) are characterised by a high degree of complexity due to the large number of participants providing interlinked services and the necessary technical expertise - even in the resulting disputes. We can assist you in resolving these disputes or preventing them from arising at all. Our specialists can draw on their many years of experience (e.g. in the field of offshore wind construction projects) as party representatives and arbitrators in these disputes.

We can help you select the appropriate dispute mechanisms for each contractual constellation, including multi-level escalation clauses and the use of dispute boards, as early as the contract initiation phase. Here we pay attention to the compatibility of dispute settlement clauses in different contracts in order to be able to include all your relevant business partners in the dispute, if required.

We advise and represent clients in disputes in all areas of the energy industry. Whether a dispute concerns the construction, operation and decommissioning of coal, gas and nuclear power plants, the construction and operation of onshore and offshore wind farms, the representation in gas supply and price adjustment proceedings or gas storage disputes - in case of doubt we have either already been active or have colleagues in our Energy Industry Group with the necessary specialist and industry knowledge that we can bring on board.

One of our core competencies in the area of complex disputes is the representation of clients in arbitration proceedings under investment protection law. We have been active in this field for over 15 years and have represented both states and investors and are also very familiar with highly political proceedings (such as the ICSID arbitration against the Federal Republic of Germany due to the nuclear phase-out). From the investment decision to the enforcement of the rights under bilateral and multilateral investment protection agreements in arbitration proceedings to the enforcement of arbitral awards, we can advise you at all stages so that you can benefit from the best possible investment protection.
