DIS40 Nord: How International is Dispute Resolution in Germany, Really? – Perspectives from Foreign Lawyers

DIS40-Event

Organizer: DIS40 Nord

Germany prides itself on being a leading hub for international arbitration – but how international is dispute resolution in practice? Foreign associates working at law firms and in-house legal departments across the country experience this reality first-hand, navigating cultural nuances, language barriers, and professional expectations on a daily basis.

In our next session of the DIS40 Nord, we hear directly from those who chose to make Germany their professional home. They share the ultimate insider–outsider perspective on what makes the German dispute resolution landscape truly international, where there is room for improvement, and what convinced them to build their careers here.

We are excited to hear from:

  • Ronnia Zheng – GvW Graf von Westphalen
  • Benjamin Berg Bentele – Amprion GmbH
  • Sandrine Larghi – GSK Stockmann
  • Stefan Endeward – Bucerius Center for International Dispute Resolution

Together, we will discuss, among other things:

How international is the German dispute resolution market in practice? What challenges do foreign lawyers face in their day-to-day work? What makes Germany an attractive place to build a career – and where is there still room for improvement?
