Philipp Hanfland

Philipp represents companies in complex, cross-border disputes before state courts, in international arbitration proceedings and in alternative dispute resolution processes. His focus is on securities litigation, corporate and insolvency litigation, disputes after major catastrophic events as well as post M&A, contractual and investor-state disputes. His clients are companies in the financial and energy sectors, and in the manufacturing and certification business.

In arbitration proceedings, Philipp has represented various national and international clients over recent years in post M&A disputes.
