Arbitration provides an opportunity to resolve disputes between parties in a manner that can be determined to a significant extent by the parties. The binding arbitration law gives the parties extensive options in the national and international context to design the procedure. This includes, for example, the duration of the procedure, which can be determined, but also the procedural principles and thus, in an international context, the differences between a continental-European and the Anglo-American approach. I see using these possibilities and thus taking advantage of arbitration as one of the more important tasks of a party representative. After 30 years of experience and well over 100 proceedings as a party representative in national and international arbitration proceedings, I believe I can say that as a party representative in arbitration proceedings I can recognize and implement the best possible procedural design for my clients. In many proceedings before arbitration tribunals according to different arbitration rules, I got to know the various alternatives and can apply these findings to future proceedings. I also enjoy working with existing teams that, for example. have accompanied a situation that has now become a matter of dispute and require know-how in arbitration law and procedural tactics.
