Ulrike is one of the leading personalities in the field of dispute resolution - in particular for national and international arbitration. Due to her expertise, she is regularly appointed as arbitrator and advises her clients as party representative in complex proceedings. Two main core areas of Ulrike’s practice are turn-key construction (including energy related projects) and post-M&A. She relies on her extensive experience as an advisor for corporate and M&A. Furthermore, she is a member of various boards and committees of international arbitration institutions.

Ulrike acts as counsel and arbitrator (sole arbitrator, chair and co-arbitrator) in international commercial arbitration (ad hoc, DIS, ICC, LCIA, VIAC, FAI, DIA, SCC etc.) investor-state disputes, and adjudication proceedings as well as counsel in litigation cases. As a qualified German lawyer with working experience in France, Ulrike is particularly dedicated to international work due to her international clients and her global network. Her experience includes arbitration proceedings under various jurisdictions (including Germany, Denmark, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Turkey). Her vast experience as arbitrator impacts her counsel work.
