Alexander Steinbrecher, Chief of Legal Affairs at Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG). A work of art. The person. The content. The setting.

Alexander presented his 10 golden rules (which ultimately turned out to be 12) for dispute resolution from an in-house perspective on the occasion of an evening organized by Young ITA under the guidance of Dr. Rüdiger Morbach of King & Spalding and hosted by us. The principal ingredients: curiosity and the willingness to change perspectives. And #Tannenzäpfle 🍻. And #Pretzels 🥨.

The evening turned out to be a great success also thanks to the students and alumni of the International Dispute Resolution (IDR) LL.M. – Berlin and the one and only Jörg Risse of Baker McKenzie, who participated himself and was kind enough to finish his class early which allowed the students to attend.

Sometimes, the easy things turn out to be the very best. It was an inspiration for more.
