New Senior Counsel for Frankfurt: Dr. Joahann von Pachelbel joins HEUKING

Dr. Johann von Pachelbel joined the Frankfurt HEUKING-office as Senior Counsel in the Dispute Resolution / Commercial practice group starting in May.

He comes from K&L Gates LLP, where he served as a partner in the areas of international and domestic arbitration and litigation.

Dr. von Pachelbel has extensive experience in complex commercial disputes, particularly under the rules of leading arbitral institutions such as the ICC, DIS, SCC, VIAC, Swiss Rules, and UNCITRAL. In addition to his work as party counsel, he regularly serves as an arbitrator in domestic and international arbitration proceedings.

Johann von Pachelbel regularly advises on matters involving (international) contract law, tort law, commercial and corporate law (including post-M&A disputes), distribution law, and intellectual property law, frequently in connection with clients in the energy, mechanical engineering, automotive, packaging, logistics, and financial services industries.

At HEUKING, Dr. von Pachelbel will work closely with partners Daniel Froesch (litigation and arbitration) and Thorsten Wieland (intellectual property) and will further expand the commercial practice at the Frankfurt office. "In Dr. von Pachelbel, we see an ideal fit. His advisory expertise spans litigation and arbitration law through to substantive intellectual property, commercial, and distribution law matters. Dr. von Pachelbel will leverage his experience to support us in advising our mid-market and industrial clients on their operational advisory and dispute matters. For his clients, HEUKING's broadly diversified practice offers an ideal platform for their commercial law advisory projects and also in the event of disputes," said Thorsten Wieland, deputy managing partner of the Frankfurt office.
