Georg Höxter

I am an associate in our Hamburg office and a member of the Commercial, Regulatory and Administrative practice groups. My work focuses on clients from renewable energies and infrastructure.

I advise developers and operators from the energy and utility sector, plant and mechanical engineering on questions related to the whole project lifecycle. From the contractual framework of their respective projects to the subsequent claims management. Regarding the latter, I represent our clients in out-of-court negotiations as well as in litigation proceedings in defending third-party claims and enforcing our clients' claims.

Subsequent to my studies at the University in Jena, where I specialised in private international law as well as in international procedural law, I worked as a research assistant at a chair of civil law, civil procedure law and private international law. Due to my special interest in cross border litigation, I worked for the litigation department of a global US-American law firm during my legal clerkship and for the litigation department of a globally active British law firm as a German qualified lawyer. I gained experience in advising clients in the settlement of complex disputes.
