The Industrial Liability department is led by two partners, Dr Martin Alexander and Marcel Hohagen. The team of over 20 lawyers advise numerous industrial insurers and companies on coverage and liability law in national and international cases of public liability, Tech E&O, product liability and product recalls. These include, for example, matters pertaining to the automotive, food and medical devices sectors, as well as environmental liability insurance, aviation insurance and insurance for clinical trials. Our team of lawyers represent our clients both in the run-up to and in the course of state court proceedings as well as in private arbitration. The department has particular experience and expertise in rapid response to international catastrophes. In recent years, our lawyers have been sought after to provide advice in dioxin and EHEC crises, the railway accidents in Eschede and Brühl, a bus accident in Madeira and the crash of a Germanwings plane in the French Alps. The department itself as well as individual team members are regularly recommended in the leading reference works JUVE, Chambers and Legal500.
