Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie's comprehensive dispute resolution expertise includes insolvency, antitrust and post-M&A disputes as well as a wide range of pharmaceutical and patent conflicts, in which the group primarily represents clients from the pharmaceutical, IT and infrastructure sectors, but also financial institutions and insolvency administrators, ministries as well auditing firms. The practice is jointly managed by Heiko Haller and Günter Pickrahn: in addition to routinely advising pharmaceutical companies on contractual disputes, Haller's expertise is particularly evident in conflicts relating to large energy projects, such as the construction of nuclear power plants and offshore wind farms; Pickrahn, who also acts as an arbitrator, handles post-M&A disputes as well as licensing and intellectual property rights issues. In the corporate litigation sphere, Tobias Höfling assists with numerous resolution challenges, board liability disputes and conflicts between M&A advisors and investors over transaction remuneration, while technology-related disputes and mass litigation represent Nicolai Behr's focus, who made partner in July 2023. Senior Associate Max Oehm is a key contact for professional liability issues.
