Chambers Europe (2007) about the firm's dispute resolution practice: "Peers recognise that this “highly visible, extremely active team of talented lawyers” provides serious competition in the realms of litigation and arbitration. Its workload includes domestic and cross-border post-M&A and construction litigation, in which it works closely with other offices across the firm’s extensive network. Given the firm’s international outlook, it is no surprise to find its “experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable” lawyers active in major arbitrations. They are a familiar presence as arbitrators in forums such as the ICC and the DIS (Deutsche Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit) and involve themselves in matters dealing with post-M&A, construction, infrastructure and distribution issues. In recent times, the team has acted for Siemens in several disputes and represented Degussa in a post-M&A arbitration. The firm also offers assistance with product liability, insurance, insolvency, telecoms and energy-related litigation."

Chambers Europe (2007) about the firm's dispute resolution practice: "Peers approach this firm with circumspection, referring to it as a main competitor for arbitration instructions. It advises foreign clients with German subsidiaries, as well as purely domestic clients such as constructors, re-insurers, investors and private equity houses. It fields expertise in the areas of antitrust, finance, insurance and post-M&A. Work in recent times has included acting for a pharmaceutical company in a EUR 220 million post-M&A DIS arbitration and overseeing a EUR 60 million ICC arbitration between a Japanese corporation and a Spanish-French enterprise concerning a MotoGP sponsoring contract. This does not mean that the firm neglects litigation. Its lawyers’ workload covers a range of domestic and cross-border matters, often conducted in conjunction with offices abroad. The practice group focuses on corporate, commercial, finance and insurance disputes and represents clients in lawsuits connected with industrial facilities. The team represented a constructor in a EUR 50 million compensation case and advised a biotech enterprise on a EUR 21 million contractual litigation."
