Linklaters

Due to its interdisciplinary set-up and global integration, Linklaters‘ renowned dispute resolution practice handles an impressive number of contentious matters for national and international companies in the healthcare, energy, automotive and financial services industries; the team places a particular focus on banking, corporate and commercial disputes, antitrust damages proceedings as well as D&O and product liability conflicts. In the energy sector, the practice further focuses on contentious supply contract, price adjustment and hardship clauses issues, as well as on construction, commercial and corporate conflicts. Contentious ESG matters are also increasingly contributing to the practice’s case load – here Julia Grothaus (antitrust and corporate law) places a strong focus on liability risks associated with sustainability issues. While Rupert Bellinghausen is active in post-M&A arbitration proceedings, class actions, antitrust damages litigation, product liability and corporate disputes, Kerstin Wilhelm advises on white-collar criminal proceedings. Counsel Anke Krause is one of the key contacts for product liability proceedings and contractual disputes. Since publication, former practice head Alexandros Chatzinerantzis has left the firm.
