Practice Areas

Dr Dorothee Schramm FCIArb is a Swiss independent arbitrator with 20 years of arbitration experience who has been deciding complex commercial disputes around the world since 2011, as presiding, sole, emergency and co-arbitrator.

A former partner at Sidley Austin LLP, Dorothee has extensive experience with “translating” between the civil law and common law systems, having been part of a common law team for over a decade. While Dorothee’s experience spans many industries, she has a particular focus on technology, life sciences, engineering (including construction), and energy. Dorothee Schramm is recognized as a thought leader both globally and within Switzerland.
