Lars Markert (admitted in Germany and New York) Re-appointed as a Member of the DIS Arbitration Council
Lars Markert (admitted in Germany and New York) has been re-appointed for a second term as a Member of the DIS Arbitration Council. The function of the Council is akin to a “Court” in other arbitral institutions, with its members for example deciding arbitrator challenges and fixing tribunal fees and advances for DIS arbitrations.
Lars’ practice is focused on commercial and investment arbitration. He has particular expertise in contentious proceedings involving post-M&A, commercial, manufacturing, construction, and distribution matters, in areas such as life sciences, automotive, and energy. Lars also deals with cases involving governments, and has advised foreign investors and sovereign states on issues of foreign direct investment and public international law, including related negotiations and investor-state disputes. He has been involved in more than 60 international arbitrations as counsel and as arbitrator under the arbitration rules of institutions such as the ICC, DIS, SAC, NAI, ICDR, KCAB, JCAA, SIAC, and ICSID, as well as under the UNCITRAL Rules.
