Antje Baumann is the founder of Baumann Disputes legal practice. She was previously a partner at Corinius LLP in Hamburg, and before establishing her own practice, worked for many years in the dispute resolution department of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The primary focus of her practice lies on international arbitrations in which Antje Baumann frequently acts as arbitrator but also has vast experience in complex civil litigation matters in state courts. She holds a LLM from University of California at Berkeley and is admitted to the German and the New York Bar. She is inter alia listed in the Who's Who Legal Arbitration and is a frequent speaker on international arbitration and dispute resolution in general.

The Practitioner's Handbook is a must-have for any arbitration practitioner: readers less acquainted with arbitration will find easy access to complex matters while experts are quickly provided with relevant detail. Ten years after the previous edition was published, the time was ripe for an update. Congratulations to the editors and authors! Reinmar Wolff, ASA Bulletin
