Experience

Anna-Gesine Lock specialises in the field of litigation and arbitration. She advises and represents national and international companies in civil, commercial and business law disputes. This includes both out-of-court dispute resolution and the enforcement of and defence against claims before the state courts and arbitral tribunals. 


One of her focuses is on distribution disputes – in particular the defence against compensation claims. Anna-Gesine Lock is head of Oppenhoff’s Distribution Law Initiative, which she founded in 2022. She is also retained as an arbitrator. 


A further focus of her work is on contract structuring and advice on contract implementation, in particular purchase agreements and contracts for work. An eight-month secondment to a medium-sized company in Berlin in 2019 enabled her to deepen her know-how on contract review and structuring.
