GvW Graf von Westphalen specialises in coverage disputes of all liability lines, in particular D&O, product and professional liability insurance as well as project insurance in the construction sector, and complements this with expertise in the management of property damage and business interruption damage as well as matters at the insolvency law interface. This corresponds with the competencies of Johan van der Veer, who regularly represents companies and insurers in the in and out-of-court settlement of major losses. He jointly heads the practice with Wolfram Desch (director liability, D&O, professional liability and E&O as well as matters at the interface with corporate and insolvency law). In January 2024, the team welcomed Quirin Vergho (D&O and cyber insurance) from Arnecke Sibeth Dabelstein.
