The dispute resolution team around Dr Nikolaos Tsolakidis and Vasileios Regkakos was able to reach a favourable settlement for a UK-based client in a multi-million earn-out dispute before a Commercial Chamber of the Regional Court of Berlin. The dispute involved the sale of a target company for a variable purchase price based on the company’s profitability after being taken over by the buyer. The team worked closely with the White Collar team around Dr Björn Kruse.

Particularly impressive is the acquisition of Allianz SE, one of the largest and world-leading insurance companies,  as a client with a large number of high-volume arbitration proceedings. In this context,
Arktik Legal successfully advises and represents Allianz SE in various international arbitration proceedings in the reinsurance sector with a total amount in dispute in the three-digit million range.

The nationwide representation of Trade Republic Bank GmbH in various customer lawsuits (including the GameStop issue) and contractual disputes is an absolute work highlight. Being retained in such high-profile cases has significantly contributed to strengthening the team’s reputation and expanding its market position.

Arktik Legal has made a name for itself in advising start-ups. It has recently acquired the start-up Mirror Labs GmbH as a client, a new major project in the health and life sciences sector of the founders of former Gorillas Operations Germany GmbH & Co KG.

Team Services

The Dispute Resolution team is led by Dr Nikolaos Tsolakidis and Dr Karl Ömer Rösch. In the year 2024, another partner, Vasileios Regkakos, joined ARKTIK from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.  The team currently has two senior associates with significant experience in the field of litigation and international arbitration. One additional associate will join the team in May 2025. The advisory services encompass national and international disputes around highly complex matters in the areas of technology, interim liability, reinsurance law, post-M&A as well as international sales and distribution law. The team regularly advises and represents start-ups in context with corporate law matters as well as disputes with contractual partners and customers. The team also works closely together with the Criminal Law team on disputes with a particular interface to criminal law issues.
