Expertise

Patrick Rohn has been a partner with Thouvenin Rechtsanwälte since 2013. He specializes in domestic and international commercial litigation and arbitration (including ICC, Swiss Chambers, UNCITRAL, WIPO), with a particular focus on disputes relating to distribution, licensing, commercial and corporate transactions and relations. In these fields, Patrick also regularly advises clients on non-contentious matters, and he drafts and negotiates distribution, license, and cooperation agreements. Further, Patrick frequently represents clients in complex contractual, corporate (incl. post-M&A, joint venture, directors’ liability) and insolvency related disputes up to the Appeal Court and the Federal Supreme Court, and he has considerable expertise related to cross-border asset tracing and recovery, and the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards.

Who’s Who Legal Litigation recognizes Patrick for his litigation work in the category Partner (“exceptional analytical and strategic skills, “I would recommend him in a heartbeat”). Patrick is also listed by the International Distribution Institute and the Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution as arbitrator with specific experience in the field of distribution (IDArb list of specialized arbitrators).
