About me
In March 2024, Barbara joined VHM’s Dispute Resolution Team as an associate, continuing to focus her practice on international arbitration. She is also qualified to practice law in New York (New York Bar Exam).
She studied law at Harvard Law School, at the University of Greifswald (Germany), and at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Poland). Previously, Barbara worked with international arbitration practice groups of other leading Viennese law firms, gathering experience in complex investment and commercial - in particular post M&A - arbitrations under the Rules of major arbitral institutions (ICC, LCIA, VIAC, DIS). She also served as a research and teaching assistant at the Institute of Civil Law of the University of Vienna, where she gained in-depth expertise in Austrian contract law and conducted comparative research.
Barbara completed the ICC Arbitration Academy in Paris and the Vienna Arbitration Academy. She also successfully participated in extensive non-degree programs at the Jagiellonian University (the American Law Program, the German Law Programme, and the Austrian Law Programme).
