We succeeded in getting an arbitration award set aside and in (several) subsequent arbitration proceedings we were able to solidify the client's position to such extent that the client was able to obtain a payment in the billions as part of a settlement.

Successful representation of the leading global media giant in the defense of the largest class action ever filed in Europe. The class action was initiated in Austria by (initially) around 75,000 global claimants. Dr. Nikolaus Pitkowitz and Dr. Martin Foerster successfully pled the case on behalf of our client at the CJEU Oral Hearing. The Austrian Supreme Court then also subsequently dismissed this class action (also the largest ever pending in Austria).
