What is your role at the DIS?
I work as a counsel in the Case Management Team of the DIS. As counsel, I am involved in the proceedings from the moment the claim is filed with the DIS until the case is closed. Together with the case administrators, I am responsible for ensuring that the proceedings run properly according to the DIS Arbitration Rules.
What path led you to the DIS?
During my studies at the University of Passau I participated in the Vis Moot Court and subsequently was involved in the Vis Moot as coach, which raised my interest in (international) arbitration. I then lost sight of this field for some time while doing my legal traineeship and working as a research assistant at the University of Passau in the field of railway law. Reconnecting with the Vis Moot community during my time as a research assistant at the University of Bonn, I got in touch with the DIS. Working at the DIS seemed the perfect match to my previous experiences and I am glad that I decided to take this step.
