In diesem Bereich ist der als Parteivertreter und Schiedsrichter tätige Günter Pickrahn besonders versiert, wobei ein weiterer Schwerpunkt auf Lizenz- und Immaterialgüterrechtsfragen liegt. Pickrahn leitet die Praxis gemeinsam mit Heiko Haller, der durch seine Expertise in internationalen Schiedsverfahren im Zusammenhang mit Bau-, Anlagenbau-, Infrastruktur- und Energieprojekten hervorsticht.
