About

Elisabeth is a disputes partner specialising in complex, multijurisdictional litigation and strategic legal risk management, with a particular focus on disputes in highly regulated and fast-moving sectors, including technology, digital platforms and financial services.

She advises leading international corporations and financial institutions on high-stakes cross-border and domestic disputes, including mass claims, collective actions and regulatory-driven litigation, particularly in the technology and financial services sectors. She has extensive experience coordinating multi-jurisdictional defence strategies and handling urgent court proceedings, including preliminary injunctions.

Elisabeth regularly advises on disputes involving digital platforms and data-driven business models, and on litigation strategies in the context of evolving European regulatory frameworks, including the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act. Her practice also covers competition-related disputes, notably proceedings at the intersection of litigation and regulatory enforcement.

A core element of her practice is helping clients anticipate and mitigate litigation risks at an early stage. She works closely with in-house teams to assess exposure, identify emerging challenges and develop forward-looking cross-border strategies, including horizon scanning and coordinating defence approaches across multiple jurisdictions.

Elisabeth has played a key role in a number of high-profile and strategically significant matters and is known for her sound judgment and pragmatic, business-oriented approach. Clients value her calm, hands-on leadership and her ability to manage complex disputes under legal, regulatory and reputational pressure while maintaining a clear focus on commercial objectives.
