Biography

Jamie Nowak is a litigation and disputes lawyer based in Munich and head of the German litigation and disputes practice. His practice focuses on contentious disputes and litigation.

Jamie has more than twenty years of experience in domestic and cross-border litigation, mediation and arbitration. Clients from a wide range of industries rely on him as an advisor and their representative in transactional, corporate, commercial, liability, insurance and general business law disputes.
