Engaging directly with users and practitioners is a key priority of the DIS. To further strengthen this dialogue and apply discussions on modern dispute resolution directly to corporate practice, the DIS launched its new Roadshow format on 18 March 2026 with an inaugural workshop hosted in Hanover by TenneT, a transmission system operator, one of the key parts of the energy grid.

During the four-hour workshop, in-house counsel and contract managers engaged with DIS representatives and external experts on a range of dispute resolution mechanisms. The discussions focused on mediation, expert determination, dispute review boards (DRBs) and adjudication, as well as arbitration and commercial courts.

In addition to practice-oriented presentations, the workshop was an opportunity for an in-depth exchange on experiences and challenges from a corporate perspective. The lively discussions once again highlighted the growing importance of efficient and flexible dispute resolution mechanisms for businesses.

The DIS would like to thank TenneT General Counsel Carlo Ottaviano, Hannah Tümpel, Academic Director at the European University Viadrina, and DIS Board members Johanna Wirth, Torsten Lörcher and Florian Cahn for their contributions and for helping make the launch of the Roadshow a success.

We look forward to working closely with our users in the continuation of the Roadshow, with more outings planned in the coming months.
