Dr. Philipp Rüppell

Dr. Philipp Rüppell is a partner in our Dispute Resolution practice and has many years of experience in handling complex German and international litigation, arbitration and ADR proceedings.

Dr. Rüppell represents domestic and foreign companies as well as wealthy private individuals in court, arbitration and out-of-court disputes. He advises his clients, inter alia, on contract, corporate and insolvency law.

His practice focuses on commercial disputes/damage claims/supply chain disputes, insolvency and related disputes, directors' and officers' liability and corporate litigation.

His particular expertise lies in strategic advice and project management of mass actions, class actions and class actions at home and abroad.

I am passionate about litigating but only when it is necessary. Because successfully representing the interests of the parties is what makes being a litigation lawyer so appealing to me. Legal disputes are not l'art pour l'art, but must always serve the client's goals. Just like my partners, I conduct my own proceedings. Together with our team of outstanding experts in litigation and commercial law, I am committed to our clients - regardless of the type of dispute resolution procedure.
