Vossius & Partner has an impressive dispute resolution practice that attracts a number of large international corporations from various industrial sectors, such as chemicals and high technology. The practice also has a strong international focus, which is demonstrated by its internal Asia Desk and its cooperation with Dutch law firm Brinkhof before the UPC. Elard Schenck Zu Schweinsberg counts mechanical engineering and medical technology among his key areas; while the latter field is also a focus for Arnold Asmussen and Raphael Salzer. Chemistry, meanwhile, represents a key expertise for Dirk Harmsen and Natalia Berryman.
