Christoph Schubert
OVERVIEW
Christoph Schubert advises companies on the efficient resolution of complex commercial disputes. He develops tailored conflict-resolution strategies that address not only the legal issues but also the tactical and economic dimensions of the dispute, including guidance on litigation-funding to mitigate or eliminate financial risks.
Christoph has special experience in structuring and financing complex collective actions including project automation using legal tech and AI.
Besides this, he has many years of experience in litigation and out-of-court dispute resolution, particularly in connection with insolvency proceedings, directors' and officers' liability, and D&O insurance law. He is also a trained business mediator.
Before joining Hausfeld, Christoph worked in a boutique law firm specializing in insolvency law and in leading major law firms in the field of dispute resolution/litigation. He also worked for several years in a management position for a German litigation funder.
Christoph studied at the University of Münster (Germany). Before his admission to the bar, he was a lecturer for a nationwide German legal bar course, preparing students for their first state law examination. In addition to his native German, he is fluent in English.
