As an author, co-author and co-editor of several books, contributions to books and numerous publications in specialised journals in both German and English , I regularly present the results of my research work for discussion to a wide and specialised audience . The main focus of my publications to date lies in the field of Arbitration, International Contract Law and Procedural Law. Furthermore, notable are also contributions/articles concerning German civil law, trade law and banking law. The latter of which I have been addressing for research purposes for years in the scope of my Habilitationsschrift “Bankgarantie auf erstes Anfordern”(Bank guarantee on first demand)
Additionally, I am on the editorial board of two journals on international commercial law and on arbitration: IHR (“Internationales Handelsrecht”) published by Sellier Publishing in Munich and the International Arbitration Law Review published by Sweet & Maxwell in London.
Within the scope of my work as National Correspondent for Germany at UNCITRAL, I regularly provide UNCITRAL’s Clout database with English language summaries of German court decisions on the subject of arbitration and the CISG		 bild_publikationen_2
