Dear members, colleagues and friends,

As summer approaches, I am delighted to share this latest edition of our newsletter with you.

The past few months have been particularly busy for the DIS. At our General Assembly in Leipzig, a new Advisory Board was elected. I am particularly pleased that the new board brings an even stronger in-house counsel perspective to the work of the DIS, ensuring that the views of our users continue to play a central role in our development.

Back in Berlin, our office expansion is progressing very well and the new spaces are already looking fantastic!

It is wonderful to see this project taking shape, and we look forward to welcoming many of you there in the future. To celebrate this important milestone, we are planning a special event on 28 September 2026, and I warmly invite you to join us.

Our team is growing as well. A special welcome to Katja Steinbrück, who has joined the DIS to lead our Corporate Team, and to Lida Fagiri and Michael Neumeier, our new Counsel. We are very happy to have you on board and look forward to working together.

On a personal note, I am pleased to share that I have been re-elected to the Council of the International Federation of Commercial Arbitration Institutions (IFCAI). I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving in this role and glad that the DIS remains represented in this important international forum.

Finally, I would like to wish you a wonderful start to the summer. I very much hope to see many of you at our Summer Party in Bonn on 2 July 2026. It is one of my favourite DIS traditions and always a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends.

I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter.

Warm regards,

Ramona
