Forum on European Collective Redress

^Forum

Overview

Dates: October 3 - 5, 2021

Location: Königstein, Germany

The Steering Committee welcomes a select group of 48 experienced European litigators who lead mass damage cases involving competition, consumer and shareholder claims (a ‘horizontal’ approach). Attendance is equally balanced between those doing defense and claimant representation.

Using candid, seminar-style discussion, the group identifies trends and developments in their varied jurisdictions for meaningful dialogue on the most pressing issues of the day.

Rosemary Ioannou Vannin Capital PCC London, United Kingdom
Jurjen Lemstra Lemstra Van der Korst N.V. Amsterdam, Netherlands
Dr. Tilman Makatsch Deutsche Bahn AG Berlin, Germany
Under his leadership, Deutsche Bahn has become a pioneer and European leader in the private enforcement of antitrust claims. He and his team have successfully recovered around 600 Million EUR in claims for damages suffered through violations of antitrust law in 50 settlements. Prominent cases include the rail track, trucks, air freight, escalator/elevator, carbon brushes, beer and coffee cartels as well as MasterCard and VISA on interchange fees. The success of the department is, in part, based on the inter-disciplinary/international make-up of a team consisting of antitrust lawyers, litigators and competition economists.

Before Tilman Makatsch moved to Deutsche Bahn in 2008, he worked as a senior manager in the regulatory management of Deutsche Telekom for four years. Previously, he worked as an attorney in Frankfurt. Tilman Makatsch studied in Frankfurt and Leicester (UK) and completed his legal clerkship, inter alia, in Brussels and Cape Town.

^{CONNECT. ENGAGE. EXCEL.} This is a different event, unlike any you've attended

Built on genuine interactions and spontaneous connections, the Forum is the premier gathering for preeminent European litigators who lead mass damage cases.

"The reason why Forum is so great and valuable is that it brings together a group of experts of several jurisdictions. The second reason is the format: no lengthy presentations but active participation and discussion by everyone. This all offers the possibility to hear and learn about things you will normally not hear at other conferences."

Albert Knigge Houthoff Amsterdam, Netherlands

"The Forum provides a pan - European selection of claimant and defendant lawyers and funders whose knowledge and experience enables discussions to take place, always under Chatham House Rules, that are directly relevant to current practice."

Mark Humphries Humphries Kerstetter LLP London, United Kingdom

"Great opportunity to meet the two sides of the industry and litigation funders."

David Greene Partner Edwin Coe LLP London, United Kingdom
