Alexandra Diehl focuses on national and international dispute resolution with a special focus on arbitration (DIS, ICC, ICSID, SCC and ad hoc). She represents German and multinational clients in all phases of disputes and has started to develop an active arbitrator practice.
At ease with the multijurisdictional intricacies of transnational fact patterns, Alexandra supports clients with complex disputes relating to Post M&A, international investment law, IP and liability issues (including lawyer and managing directors' liability). She also regularly advises clients on issues relating to private international law and cross-border taking of evidence. Moreover, she gives IP-related advice in technology-driven transactions and with regard to R&D and license agreements.
Prior to joining the firm, Alexandra worked for eight years for a major British law firm in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt.
Alexandra regularly publishes on international arbitration matters and teaches international investment law at Heinrich-Heine-University of Düsseldorf.
