Noerr primarily acts in high-profile investment disputes, but also advises on energy-related disputes and competition damages claims; Meike von Levetzow, who acts as a party representative and arbitrator in international and national arbitration proceedings, is particularly highly regarded in this context. The German dispute resolution practice is co-led by Oliver Sieg, who specialises in insurance disputes, and Anke Meier, who focuses on international arbitration proceedings with particular emphasis on German-American legal communication.
