- Board Member of the Academic Council of the Belarusian International Law & Arbitration Association

I am German qualified lawyer with significant experience in international arbitration and public international law.

My practice focusses on representing clients, including States, State-owned entities, and multinational corporations, in complex international commercial and investor-State arbitrations across a broad range of industries in proceedings under the rules of the leading institutional and ad hoc arbitration regimes, including ICSID, UNCITRAL ICC, DIS, VIAC and WIPO. I frequently advise Governments on issues of public international law including questions of sovereign and diplomatic immunities and human rights.

I also sit as an arbitrator and teach international arbitration and public international law at the Europa-Institute of the Saarland University, the Paris Bar School and the International Training Centre of the International Labor Association.
