I am an attorney in the Frankfurt office of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in the disputes team. Being originally from Lübeck in the north of Germany, I studied law at the University of Kiel and hold an LL.M. degree from Columbia Law School. My practice concentrates on arbitration and complex commercial litigation with a particular focus on multi-jurisdictional legal actions with an emphasis on commercial questions as well as Post-M&A disputes. The cases are usually subject to many different systems of law and under several institutional rules, in particular under the arbitration rules of the DIS and ICC. I regularly speak on panels and webinars and publish articles in the field of international arbitration. It shouldn't come as a surprise that I am passionate when it comes to coffee and that I am highly interested in the changes and challenges digitalization and digital transformation mean for the legal industry. Hence, I started the initiative "Digital Coffee Break in Arbitration". Shortly additional initiatives and ideas such as Arbitration Idol or the Arbitration Happy Hour followed and I am already excited to see what is coming next.
