About me
I have worked in the fields of risk management and dispute resolution for more than a decade. My main areas of expertise include arbitration, litigation, mediation and pre-dispute consultation. I also frequently advise clients in non-contentious matters, with a focus on construction, insurance and corporate law matters.
A considerable part of my work consists of international and domestic arbitration. In recent years, I have worked closely with clients in the energy sector, handling numerous large-scale contractual disputes for both contractors and employers. Furthermore, I often advise clients in post-M&A disputes and disputes related to shareholders’ agreements, sale of goods, product liability and IT.
I have represented clients in arbitration proceedings under several institutional rules, such as the FAI Rules, the ICC Rules and the SCC Rules, as well as in ad hoc arbitration proceedings. I also act as secretary for arbitral tribunals in institutional and ad hoc proceedings. In addition to arbitration, I frequently litigate in courts of all instances.
I also have an academic interest in, among other things, arbitration and general procedural law, and I have written articles on the subjects for various publications.
