Hogan Lovells International LLP has expertise in corporate, advertising and commercial disputes, with a further focus on antitrust and insolvency disputes. The team, which is often appointed as chairman, sole or co-arbitrator in arbitration proceedings, is led by Karl Pörnbacher, whose expertise ranges from disputes in the energy industry, plant construction and infrastructure projects to post-M&A disputes and conflicts in the automotive, aviation and life sciences industries. Inken Knief, who regularly acts as an arbitrator, is also particularly well versed in these areas. Additionally, the practice was strengthened by the arrival of Thomas Nebel (antitrust, corporate and commercial disputes), who joined from Dentons in December 2024.
