“Axel has been essential for our succeeding in three international ICC arbitrations. He is strategically circumspect, tactically shrewd and meticulous when it comes to drafting submissions. His legal writing is clear as a textbook. His hearing preparation is outstanding. He dived so deeply into the technical details that Respondent’s technical experts – six seasoned university professors and academics in mechanical engineering – literally fell into pieces when Axel cross-examined them. He knows the case inside out, he knows the law, and he accurately anticipates the opponent’s and the tribunal’s next steps. You would want to have him on your team” Client in three arbitrations concerning a construction project and an amount in dispute of USD 48 million

“It was a huge success – also because the counterparty was represented by a very big and globally active law firm. It was like David and Goliath – not the biggest, but the smartest man won this fight. Dr. Gabriel anticipated the strategy and the arguments of the counterparty like a versed chess player: even before the counterparty made its move, it was already clear that it would lose an important 'chessman'.” Respondent in a USD 3 million arbitration on post-M&A issues

Collectively they worked as an efficient and professional team, both in the hearing and throughout its preparation” Respondent in a USD 8.5 million arbitration case concerning the railway industry
