- Short Bio
- Dorothee Schramm is an independent arbitrator with 20+ years of arbitration experience who has been deciding complex commercial disputes around the world since 2011. She is one of few arbitrators who have hands-on advocacy experience in billion-dollar cases but are fully independent with few conflicts of interest. A Swiss lawyer by qualification and former partner at Sidley Austin, she feels at home in both civil law and common law contexts, having been part of a common law team for over a decade. As such, Dorothee has extensive experience with “translating” between common law and civil law concepts and understanding legal concepts under different laws. While Dorothee’s experience spans many industries, she has a particular focus on and understanding of technology, engineering, energy, and life sciences.
