„For a dispute with a Moroccan contractual partner that has existed since 2011, we needed a law firm that was familiar with both the legal and cultural customs and that could accompany us in arbitration proceedings in this regard. Dr. Christian Ule and Dr. Christian Steiner were not only professionally the right lawyers on our side, but also convinced us with their always friendly and kind manner. In the end, with their help, we were able to successfully conclude the arbitration proceedings in our favor. We will certainly work with the firm again in the future.“
